Chuffed to bits for you buddy well deserved 👋👋👋
Thanks alot mike mate it means a huge amount!
Looks amazing bit of kit
Thanks James! Im really happy to have it
its a grey membrain that is put round the spool. Matt. i watched a utube video teacle tackle unboxing a tidal xt 8000 i have one .
Hello mate, I did watch that vid before buying the reel but didn’t take notice of that bit! I will try and take the line off, that plastic off and respool it!
Russell mentioned
If you look at the bare spool every 1/4 there are two indentations and on the inside of the reducers there are two “nipples” in each half .
Take one half and attach on spool so it clicks into indentations (slide around till you hear/feel click) then the second half will auto fit perfectly.
NO mistake from Penn, except on poor or lack of instructions.
Your reel is good to go and I am loving mine
Hello Martin mate, Thanks for the explanation! I did have a look at the instructions but not a deep look so maybe it does say in there but wasn’t obvious? I will take another look when I respool the reel 👊
@@FishingwithMattUK just had another look at manual, they don’t even mention them let alone tell you what to do with them!!
I had experience from owning a couple of shimano reels and this reel is a very good copy..maybe better?
@martinpaul6146 hahah! Very moronic - I will be sure to make a follow up video if I can get my head around it! I’ve heard they’re possibly better than the shimanos but I have no experience of them! 😎
@@FishingwithMattUK A very good review of a reel that is getting some good press.
Another review here with comparisons to the Shimano: ua-cam.com/video/rywo90Oyz1I/v-deo.html
There was a bit of confusion on a number of sites as to whether the XT comes with a spare spool. Folk were mixing up the new Tidal with the Tidal XT. The Tidal does not come with a spare spool, but the XT does. 👍👍
You have to take the plastic off the reel spool first
Someone else said that as well but I couldn’t see a plastic bit to take off
Between this and the Shimano ultegra xr, which one is better?
Hello mate, I have never used the shimano but have heard they are amazing reels but obviously more expensive. In my opinion you cant go wrong with the Penn Tidal - Its a beautiful feeling reel, casts lovely, retrieves amazingly and feels amazing too. Hope that helps but i’m sure there are reviews on that reel out there
@@FishingwithMattUK thanks for the quick reply 🙏
@TankerShell all good mate 😎 can defo recommend the penn reel - i’m not sponsored by penn or anything either!
Matt it may be for the other spool
I tried them on the other spool and it was the same story 🤷♂️🤦
Have to take the plastic bit off the spool
Hello russell mate, I’ve just had a look at the spare spool & theres no plastic to take off?
Love penns never use any other make. Penn 850 i got must be 20 years old two of them
Hopefully penn see this video and send you free bees
@hatchie61fish-on29 haha I highly doubt it mate. Wont be anywhere near their radar
@FishingwithMattUK not on the spare there isn't but the one that come with it has
