I have both the 16 and the 12 and they are a joy to fish. One thing that I love is when I have live bait and the lever has so many settings that I let the bait go out some and then a few clicks to keep him in place and not go into some rocks or around a structure. It’s Shimano smooth and the retrieve is awesome. I mostly target Mutton Snapper and Tuna so it is more than enough power. I have a friend who uses it on a trolling setup and it drags the wahoo in the boat no problem.

In case you guys are wondering the speedmaster 2 is equivalent to the Daiwa size 40 conventional. I don't get why these reviews never compare sizes between reels of different brands because it is very helpful to know especially when you don't know how big a size 12 is or size 40 or a size 16 or size 60 from different brands.

I just used this reel in Florida on my birthday on June 25th and 26th for red snapper grouper mahi great reel I’m about to order one for myself

[@manuelruvalcaba2900]

great way that I can get info on purchasing a reel here on the west coast. With covid-19 slowing down I will be doing more fishing .

[@HelloThere-dp9cr]

I started using conventional reels this season and I love them.

[@billmoss5624]

👍 Great presentation.

[@SPaw-dg3ye]

I was thinking of spooling mine with 50 or 60lb braid but what should I use to back up the braid with

[@bryanli8584]

great reel!

[@anthonymeadows5792]

Living right on Lake Michigan, how do you think it would work with trolling salmon or walleye? I am used to level winds.

[@flounderwetspot8524]

You show me a salmon that needs 600 yards of 60lb braid and 40lbs of drag. Stop it. Never in a million years will you need tuna numbers to stop a salmon. You need 15.lbs of drag MAX and 300 yards MAX of 30lb braid.

[@henrylanier1591]

Can u cast that reel 20+ yards and use it for inshore

[@jht406]

A tank reel!

[@songsyluc]

good $$ for value!.

[@mustluvkatina]

Would this be good for tilefish

[@cocobarker4757]

Great real

[@MC-pz3ps]

How's it at casting? compared to like the Trinidad 20A? or is it better suited for live bait?

[@B3nnyboy]

Perfect for west coast tuna; live bait W/sinker rig, flat falls. Too heavy to cast all the time but if you wanna cast I’m sure it will

[@andrewmorke]

Is it any good for casting irons?

[@TheKegs96]

Can you cast this?

[@Nova-do9ty]

Do they make them left handed?

[@victor_clark]

What avet could this be compared to?

[@brettstewart6036]

How would it go for jigging cheers Yogi 🇦🇺🤙🤙

[@kongxiong6005]

It's too big too heavy. I have the size 12 paired up with a black diamond and the reel is on the heavier side. I would aim for like a torium 20. Smaller more compact and holds almost the same amount of line.

[@brettstewart6036]

kong xiong thanks for the reply mate very helpful cheers Yogi 🤙🤙

[@B3nnyboy]

@@brettstewart6036 perfect for flat falls & live bait w/ sinker rig

Crappy diecast aluminum, rather than cnc machined aircraft grade bar stock aluminum.
