https://amzn.to/43hLfvW - Reels Saltwater Lever Drag PENN INT80VISW International Leverdrag Conventional 2-Speed Reel 80 The Reels Saltwater Lever Drag PENN INT80VISW International Leverdrag Conventional 2-Speed Reel 80 is a great buy and the best reel I have used so far. The drag system on this reel is extremely smooth even when dealing with heavy loads. One of the standout features of this reel is its high line capacity. It can hold a significant amount of line, making it perfect for those who are looking to pull in big fish like sharks. I also appreciate the adjustable screw on the side for the drag. This allows me to easily adjust the drag to ensure that I am not applying too much pressure and risking breaking my line.

For example, when using 80 lb line, the maximum drag should be around 40 lbs, while for 20 lb line, it should be around 10 lbs.

https://amzn.to/3pFqEnM - Daiwa SLP Works RCS Power Light Knob Series If you are considering a double handle for the Rubias Airty LT2500, you cant go wrong with the SLP double handle + this knob! I use it for the DAIWA15 Rubias 2004. The bearing is not included, so I purchased a separate handle knob S standard size, which is an inner diameter of 4mm, outer diameter of 7mm, and width of 2.5mm. I also use the same product in silver, size M, for the Rubias 2508PE-H, and it fits perfectly. I installed it on the 17 Theory that I use for seabass fishing. I think Daiwas general spinning knobs are lightweight and excellent, but I found them difficult to grip during fights. Therefore, I previously tried installing slightly larger knobs from another company for better grip, but it significantly decreased the sensitivity in reeling. The inertia moment of the handle seemed to increase. The weight of that knob alone was measured to be over 18 grams. In comparison, this knob is measured to be just under 8 grams. It clearly improved the sensitivity in reeling. One of the great features of the 17 Theory is its sensitivity that rivals high-end reels, which comes from the lightweight (low inertia moment) rotor and handle. It might not be necessary for jigging or vibrating-style fishing, but it is an important element for fishing with drifting-style lures like minnows and pencil baits, especially during night fishing when most of the information gathering is done through the handle in the darkness. For those who appreciate the smooth reeling feeling of high-inertia rotors like Stella or Twin Power, it might not be necessary (even though you might miss the fine changes in current and bites...). I recommend it to those who can understand that (although I personally feel that the sensitivity in reeling is slightly better with the normal knob, it is a bit difficult to grip during fights). The grip of the knob is firm and non-slip, allowing for comfortable reeling! Also, the design is cool! Pros: - Provides good balance when installed on medium-sized spinning reels. - Easy to grip and turn. - Made of EVA material, so it does not become sticky over time. - Fits on both Shimano and Daiwa reels. - Reasonable price. Cons: - Cannot be installed without bearings or spacers. (I reused the bearings and spacers that came with other knobs) The photos are of the Twin Power C3000HG by Shimano and the Certate 2500 by Daiwa with the knobs replaced to match the reel colors.

https://amzn.to/3XHpHIb - Daiwa Seagate Star Drag Reel The build quality is excellent, feels very solid and durable. The star drag is easy to adjust and provides smooth and consistent drag pressure. The clicker in free spool is a great feature, it adds excitement to the moment when a fish takes the bait. Its also a nice audible indicator when line is being taken out. Although it doesnt have a level wind feature, casting long distances and reeling in line has not been a problem. The narrow spool actually helps in reducing line friction during casting. The reel performed exceptionally well with 20 lb test line. It handled numerous fish in the 3-8 lb range without any trouble. The drag is reliable and can be adjusted to accommodate different fighting strengths of fish. I was pleasantly surprised by the casting ability of this reel. With 40 lb braid, it can cast with ease and accuracy, making it suitable for various fishing environments such as the surf, pier, and boats. The red centrifugal brakes with flat side out provide maximum centrifugal brake and help control the spool during casting. Its a great feature for beginners who are still learning to cast with this reel. The handle is comfortable to grip and provides good leverage for reeling in fish.

I appreciate that this reel is easy to maintain. After each trip to the beach, I made sure to rinse it with fresh water to prevent any saltwater damage. Despite some minor rusting on the top bearing, it was easy to clean and get it back in working order. After taking care of the rust issue, the reel performed as if it was brand new again. The smoothness of the drag remained consistent, and I continued to have a great time using it. Overall, the Abu Garcia Black Max & Max X Spinning Fishing Reels are top-notch. They perform exceptionally well, are easy to maintain, and offer a great fishing experience. I highly recommend them to any angler, whether youre a beginner or a seasoned pro.

https://amzn.to/44cCnZU - ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur Classic C3–Fishing Reel The ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur Classic C3 fishing reel has been a reliable companion for me for several years now. Initially, I was a bit disappointed as I had expected it to have a clicker on the left side, allowing me to hear when a fish bites. However, the picture I saw when I ordered it seemed to indicate that it had this feature. At the time of purchase, I found the price of the 5500 model to be a steal at only $79.95. However, I have noticed that prices have significantly increased since then. Despite the price hike, I still believe that this reel is exceptional for catching strippers and catfish. When purchasing this reel, it is essential to ensure that you get the C3 model. I have come across a plastic version called the Ambassadeur 6500, which I believe is nothing more than a piece of junk. To date, I have collected around 10 C3 reels in various models, and I have found them to be truly great. These reels have proven their worth by allowing me to catch a wide range of fish, including trout, kokanee, salmon, stripers, and even sturgeon. Although I must note that the reel size may be too small for sturgeon fishing, unless you are in a boat. One of the standout features of the ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur C3 reels is their excellent drags. These drags, in my opinion, make them the perfect choice for kokanee and trout fishing, especially the 4600 model. However, when it comes to salmon fishing, I have found myself leaning more towards line counters as I feel they provide better results. Nonetheless, the C3 reels still perform admirably when tackling salmon. Overall, I must say that these reels are fantastic. However, I have noticed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a good deal on them. With a price tag of $120, I believe there may be better reels available in this price range. In terms of my personal fishing preferences, I typically spend around 45-60 days a year fishing for steelhead. If there happens to be a salmon season, I will fish an additional 15-20 days. In my area of Northeast Oregon, the average size for steelhead is approximately 6 pounds, considering the distance from the ocean. In conclusion, the ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur Classic C3 fishing reel has proven to be a reliable and versatile reel for a variety of fishing needs. While it may have its limitations, it remains a top choice for strippers and catfish. Additionally, its exceptional drags make it ideal for trout and kokanee fishing. Although the price has increased over the years, it is still a great reel, although there may be better options available in its price range. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a dependable fishing reel. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

https://amzn.to/3XDgXmb - Abu Garcia Revo MGXtreme Spinning Fishing Reel The Abu Garcia Revo MGXtreme Spinning Fishing Reel is hands down the best spinning reel I have ever owned. It surpasses even the MGX model in terms of performance and functionality. One of the standout features of this reel is its buttery smooth operation. The reel glides effortlessly, providing a seamless fishing experience. Additionally, it is incredibly light, making it easy to handle and maneuver while out on the water. I opted for the size 40 reel, which has a gear ratio of 6:1. This means that with each turn of the handle, the reel winds in one meter of line. This feature is not only convenient but also speeds up the reeling process, allowing me to spend more time fishing and less time waiting. If I were to make one improvement to this reel, it would be to have a long and shallow spool. Unfortunately, this model only comes with one spool and does not include any extras. It would have been nice to have an extra spool or a soft pouch included with the purchase. I specifically purchased this reel for salmon fishing, and it has proven to be a beautiful reel for the money. It is lightweight, allowing for easy casting and maneuverability. The smooth and fast retrieve of this reel is truly impressive. I can effortlessly reel in fish all day long without experiencing any strain or fatigue. In fact, I already own three Revo MGX 30s, and this model is very similar in terms of performance. In comparison to my Shimano C1-4 4000 reels, the Revo MGXtreme 30 comes out on top. While the Shimano reels are fine, they dont quite measure up to the exceptional performance of the MGXtreme. Overall, I cannot recommend the Abu Garcia Revo MGXtreme Spinning Fishing Reel enough. It is without a doubt the best spinning reel I have ever used. Its smooth operation, light weight, and efficient retrieve make it a joy to use on the water. If youre in the market for a top-of-the-line spinning reel, look no further than the MGXtreme. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy!

This combination is perfect for my fishing needs, as I primarily target striped bass behind dam spillways.

With its 5000 size, it can hold a significant amount of line, allowing me to fish in a variety of situations without needing to constantly re-spool. This is especially useful when fishing in open water or in situations where a long cast is required. The retrieval action of this reel is incredibly smooth and effortless. With each turn of the handle, the reel retrieves the line with minimal effort. This is a huge plus, as it reduces fatigue during long fishing sessions and allows for more enjoyable and productive fishing. One thing that really impressed me about this reel is its overall performance in terms of casting distance. The long cast achieved with this reel is remarkable, allowing me to reach spots that were previously out of reach. This is crucial when fishing in larger bodies of water or when trying to cast to specific areas where the fish are located. Lastly, the price point of this reel is worth mentioning. While it may be slightly more expensive than the regular Battle 3, the added features and improvements make it well worth the investment. The durability, power, and overall performance of this reel justify the slightly higher price tag. In conclusion, the PENN BTLIII5000DX Battle III DX Spinning 5000 is a reel that I highly recommend.

https://amzn.to/3CQfsaJ - Daiwa SLP Works SLPW Handle Knob, Aluminum Round Knob, Electric and Double Axis Reel I recently installed the Daiwa SLP Works SLPW Handle Knob on my Daiwa 20 Rubias 4000CHX reel, which I primarily use for jigging. Its an official product, so it fits perfectly without any wobbling, and was easy to install. The grip feels comfortable and I can use it for extended periods without any discomfort. I also decided to install it on my 19 Certate 4000-CXH reel as the SLP Works spool on it was gold in color, and I wanted the handle knob to match. The gold finish looks amazing, and the M-size knob is well-balanced with the reels appearance. I had also purchased the Power Round Knob for my reel, but it seemed small, so I opted for this larger and more comfortable SLPW knob. I cant wait to try it out on my next fishing trip. The premium feel of this handle knob is remarkable, and it adds an extra touch of sophistication to my reel. The aluminum round knob provides a nice grip, and it moves with ease. The SLPW Handle Knob is incredibly well-built, and you can immediately tell when you hold it. The design offers a comfortable and secure grip, even when fishing in rough or wet conditions.

The installation of this handle knob was straightforward. With the exact fit, there is no need to worry about the knob loosening or having any unwanted movement. The SLP Works SLPW Handle Knob is an excellent option for anyone looking to upgrade their reels handle knob. It has a great design and fits perfectly, making it highly recommended.

https://amzn.to/42Zgqfp - Daiwa Daiwa Salt Pro The Daiwa Salt Pro is a fantastic lure for saltwater fishing. The lures action and swimming motion are outstanding, and its incredibly effective in catching blues and stripers. Im particularly pleased with the range of colors, and Ive recently purchased more because Ive had so much success with this lure. I do recommend changing out the split rings and hooks, as the hardware that comes with the lure is too weak for larger fish. But once you have that sorted, the Daiwa Salt Pro is a must-have in your tackle box. One thing to keep in mind is that the 1 1/4oz. 6" minnow may be too light to cast effectively on a windy day. In those situations, you may want to switch to a heavier lure or a heavier version of the SP. Overall, I highly recommend the Daiwa Salt Pro for any saltwater angler looking to improve their catch rates. The lures size and sound make it a textbook baitfish imitation, fooling even the savviest of fish. Despite the need to switch out hardware, the lure is still worth investing in due to its exceptional effectiveness. I was skeptical at first, but after trying the lure for myself, I can say without a doubt that its a game-changer. The Daiwa Salt Pro is not just a regular fishing lure; its an efficient tool that will save you time and effort when fishing saltwater. Im delighted with the Daiwa Salt Pro, and I plan to add it to my regular fishing repertoire. If youre looking for a reliable, effective, and versatile saltwater lure, the Daiwa Salt Pro is an excellent choice. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy!

https://amzn.to/3NtmNCc - Daiwa Saltist Star Drag High Speed Reel I recently purchased the Daiwa Saltist Star Drag High Speed Reel and I am impressed with its small, light, and fast design. Its perfect for bombing and burning back surface Iron, and even for yo-yo fishing. I paired it with a Phenix M1 Inshore 20-45 8’2” rod and 40lb J-Braid, and it worked like a charm. This is actually my second Saltist reel and I use it specifically for fishing in the New York Bight area, catching stripers and blue fish. It has a nice smooth casting and the retrieve is faster compared to my gold Saltist 20h reel. One of the best things about this reel is its smooth drag. I use it with 25 lb. mono on my 7 St. Croix TideMaster inshore casting rod, and Ive caught bluefish over 20lbs and stripers over 30lbs using this combination. As far as I can tell, this reel seems to be a newer version of the Saltist B&G, but with new colors and handles for about $20 more. The drag and gear ratio is still the same, as well as the available sizes. I use this reel for everything from live baiting for cobia and striper to trolling for mackerel and tuna offshore. The clicker is nice and loud, and the new handles are soft, allowing me to get more power with less resistance than the old football knob. I did receive one defective reel that was missing the bag of goodies with the reel seat clamp and maintenance tool, but I managed to get it replaced by ordering 5. This reel can spool up to 500 yards of 65lb Grand J-braid, which is the same as my old Saltist. The only downside to this reel is that for the same price, you can get a Penn Fathom 40nld Lever Drag with the same line capacity, but with more drag and a bit faster gear ratio. Overall, I would highly recommend the Daiwa Saltist Star Drag High Speed Reel to anyone in the market for a reliable, smooth-dragging, and versatile reel.

https://amzn.to/3CLoW7h - Abu Garcia Revo SX Spinning Reel The Abu Garcia Revo SX Spinning Reel is a game changer for anglers who prioritize accuracy and distance in their fishing techniques. Unlike other spinning reels, this one requires a more methodical approach to casting and retrieval, which actually results in a better presentation of the bait. It is important to close the bail by hand to ensure a dependable, loop-free spool. This reel is spooled with Power Pro Spectra Hi-Vis 10 lb braid with a 6’ Stren Fluoro Leader 10 lb, making it a high-performance option for fishing. The casting distance is exceptional for a spinning reel, making it a top choice for anglers who want precision in their casting. The drag is outstanding, allowing fishermen to use lighter test fluorocarbon instead of heavy braid, which makes casting much easier. In addition to its impressive cast and retrieval abilities, this reel is incredibly smooth and easy to use. The Abu Garcia Revo SX Spinning Reel sets the bar high with its ability to increase productivity and reduce wind knots in all fishing conditions. Overall, I highly recommend this spinning reel to anyone who wants to improve their fishing technique and enjoy a truly outstanding experience. Click Link In Description For More Info or to Buy!

https://amzn.to/3NKc1J9 - Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur Shadow RD-R7000 11-Speed Version Medium The Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur Shadow RD-R7000 11-Speed Version Medium works like a charm, exactly as expected. Its an excellent product for 11 gears, and it works seamlessly with the Shimano mtb 11-40 cassette. The b-screw isnt even all the way in, which means no WolfTooth link is needed, making installation a breeze. Having combined it with a 50/34 crankset, I love that the lowest gear now allows for a higher cadence when climbing, which is beneficial for both power output and fatigue. With this derailleur, its far easier to put out 200+ watts on a long climb at a cadence of 80 rather than 64. Upgrading from the short cage 5800 model was a necessity for me to fit a 32T cassette, but it didnt require any special tools and went on without a hitch. For the price, this is an outstanding bargain. I appreciate the good quality and originality of this Shimano product, which has worked perfectly for me so far.

https://amzn.to/3XbG932 - Daiwa Lexa 400 Type-WN Baitcast Reel I recently purchased the Daiwa Lexa 400 Type-WN Baitcast Reel and I must say, it is a great reel. One of the things I love about this reel is how strong it is. I plan on using this reel to catch yellowtail, tuna, and whitesea bass during their respective seasons. And I have no doubt that it will hold up well. Ive also used its older brother, the Lexa 400hd, and Im confident this one wont disappoint either. One of the key things Ive noticed about this reel is how well it works with braided line. Ive had no issues so far and its made for a great fishing experience. Ive paired this reel up with a heavy action rod, basically a bass rod, so I can be sure to hold on for dear life when I get a bite. With the built-in drag, I am sure it can handle whatever comes its way. I plan on throwing a variety of surface irons, yo-yos, and maybe even some live bait for deep sea rock bass.
