The 30 seems a good size. I was comparing between the 30 and 40 for surf fishing but seeing the 40 beside the 30, it seems like the 40 is too big?
I sell a lot of fishing gear in the shop and for me , I think the size is personal. I prefer to balance the rods I am using with the weight of the reel, to give a set up that is less tip heavy as I gain a lot more sensitivity in bite detection and less wrist fatigue set up that way. I would also consider the thickness/weight/capacity of the line for surf fishing depending on whether I was trying to distance cast lighter line over sand, or use heavier line to combat heavy surf or rough seabed conditions. Either way, you should enjoy the reel as they are pretty epic.
Where on the island is this? Near park point?
Land based out by park point, boat fishing was at the noises
What lbs test y’all runnin on that
Hi Moses. In this test I was using 10lb Fireline original braid and 20lb Momoi hi catch fluorocarbon leader. Thanks for you interest pal
Which rod is that I would like to pare my clash with that rod.
Which rod is that
That is the Penn Regiment 701lm 7' 1 pce 4-7kg from 4 seasons ago. It was made with Fuji silicone carbide guides and composite cork/eva grips. Not a heavy rod but it has accounted for 23 Kingfish now, with the best being 22kg. It seams to have a lot of luck attracting them :-)
Thank you
ⁿ
Great video. Thanks for sharing. What rod and reel are you using?
No continued whuy
We live in a fast paced tech loving world HO. My guess is that Company's like Daiwa feel the pressure to constantly change and upgrade to keep up with peoples drive for the new tech and upgraded performance. I have one of the old Expeditions and the lasest one and I will never sell either.
The poor-man's Saltist star drag -- the Seagate -- is pretty nice too.
The Seagate was a nice enough reel, but they are not really in the same league. I have three older Saltist's that range from 7 to 11 years old and the are running faultlessly. When you purchase a Saltist you are buying a reel that can last decades
@@OXTackle I appreciate that information. The black and blue Saltist are easily one of the most beautiful reels out there too. I just can't get over how well the centrifugal drag works on my Seagate 50H. The bigger Penn reels are horrible casters -- braking system is too feeble -- whereas the Seagate belts out big baits and 8 oz sinkers smoothly and controllably. The Saltist must be a treat to own.
@@andrewmorke You're on to something there with your Seagate. For me, no matter how good the cast control and free spool mechanisms are on a reel from any manufacturer, the over riding factor for successful long distance casting with an overhead or multiplier reel, is the weight and diameter of the spool. These two factors combine to create the energy or inertia that is created when the spool goes from zero to full speed at the time of release during the cast. The taller and heavier the spool, the longer it takes for its inertia to be controlled, and the more rapidly the item being cast slows down allowing for more line to be released from the reel than is being drawn through the rod, leading to backlash. Your Seagate has a great weight to diameter ratio for it's spool, making it a bit of a casting weapon.
Did you change the reeling knob?
No my friend. That is the original that came with the reel. I always test reels in there original state, with standard drags, handles, factory grease levels etc. That way I gain genuine insight when I test what I am going to sell to my customers :-)
@@OXTackle it looks thicker and rounder. in other videos and pics it looks almost flat
@@karniskavva That is the handle that arrived with it. I'm in New Zealand and sometimes we get slightly different variations to suit our market. The other possibility is that you may have been seeing media of the 2500 clash. As with many reel manufacturer, Penn often change the handle size and sometimes the shape of the handle knobs and handle shaft lengths between 2500 and 3000 size reels, to suit the change between the biggest of the finnesse size reels (2500) and the smallest of the heavy inshore/power size reels (3000). Hope that helps
@@OXTackle thanks alot!!
@@karniskavva You're welcome man. Tight lines
Can change the handle from right handed to left handed.?
Sure can. This is a very old reel now though. The new 2020 Daiwa Saltiga is also a duel handed reel and is packed full of great technology. In my opinion it would be a great purchase if you are looking for one.
bala bala bala batao
How is it for casting from the surf for distance?
They are one of the better casting overhead or multiplier reels available as far as I can tell. Having a metal spool instead of a lighter graphite one does mean that the spool has more inertia during the cast but the inbuilt casting systems take care of that easily once the are set correctly. Mine is still incredibly smooth and has yet to be serviced, and causes me no backlash problems. Hope that helps
Which line are you using on your saltist reel mate?
Platypus Lo-stretch 15kg IGFA Tarick
Those reels seem pretty dang powerful. I've been really thinking about getting one
I don't think you would be disappointed Johnny. I have thrashed that reel and it is still performing like a new one, even though I have been to lazy to strip and service it.
@@OXTackle Awesome. Because down here in South Texas I seen ppl use these in the surf.
@@johnnycortez46 I would definitely service them yearly if I was using them in the surf. The cast superbly though.
@@OXTackle THX for the input friend👍👍👍
@@johnnycortez46 My pleasure Johnny. Merry Christmas

Dress you microphone in fur when you do public test, so we can listen what you are saying!
Thanks for the tip. We are not sponsored fishermen and we are really not going for the highest quality video content when doing our field tests. We are genuinely out trying to find the best preforming products, so that we can sell them to our customers in store with complete confidence. We also usually try to stay off the water when it is blowing over 25 kts for safety reasons so that isn't something we have had to put a lot of thought into, and we usually just run the go pro naked. It is always nice to try to continually improve though, so I will take your advise on board. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers. OX
I already own the Battle II combo ur2.pl/2314 and decided to try a Fierce II combo to carry out to the pier. Works great and for the money they are hard to beat.
You'll be blown away by the performance of the Pursuit III range then. As far as value for money goes, they are outstanding.
I have a Clash II 2500 and a 4000 on Star Seagis rods. The 2500 is blast inshore. But the Slammer III is one of the best reels that's come out in some time. Those drags wow! Indian River Lagoon System
I agree Dixon. The performance of my Slammer drags are up there with my Saltiga drags and the carbontex drag upgrades we offer in store. I think the point of the Clash is light performance, offering a blend of good drags, a light stiff body and pretty nice styling. While it is always my intention to put new reels through there paces with solid fish, this particular fight was a brutal test for such a small reel, due to the amount of bullying it took to stop the fish getting down to the reef in such shallow water, high current and heavy wind. I feel confident that most Penn folks are going to enjoy fishing with the new clash reels. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the vid. Cheers. OX
@@OXTackle great battle!
@@dixondjallen6620 Thanks DJ. It was a heap of fun to do
You feel it better than saragosa?
Hi Manuel. I haven't used a Saragosa yet, but I have serviced them and they are well made. I think both of them should fish well for you and last well with maintenance. Cheers. OX
What kind of rod are you using? Medium, Medium Light?
That is one of the original Penn Regiment 4-7 kg spin rods Michael
Awesome dude :)
what rod is that
Hi Daniel. The rod is a Daiwa VIP 270 BW 12-30lb 7ft over head rod. Cheers. OX
@@OXTackle thanks for fast reply, is that mono on the Saltist 30H, how many lb? im looking to spool mine with either braid or mono, what are ur thoughts, nice rod too!!
I favor mono for bait fishing for the extra secrecy and braid for lure fishing for the instant feel and hook set. The stretch in mono is a favorable property for big fish especially Snapper. The mono on the reel in the vid is Platypus IGFA 15kg lol stretch in ice blue. I also sell Momoi in store but have grown to prefer the Platypus.
@@dadsnotfunny my advice is to test bend the Daiwa vip 270, 870 and 865 rods. When we sell them in store we find that everyone likes a slightly different feel. If you can get a store to load them all up for you, you will pick the right one the first time. You won't ever regret buying you first VIP 😊
Hey, do you do where to buy the zest gan jigs. Having trouble finding them.
Hi Kenebene1. I'm not sure where you are in the world, but here in NZ the are distributed by BCS fishing enterprises. I have my store on Waiheke Island and I don't do off site sales so I won't be able to help you. You may be able to get some through pirottafishingcentre.com.mt/product/japanese-gan-jig-silver/ or www.megafish.it/artificiali-jig-vertical-e-light-jigging/491-362-gan-jig-843357002177.html . Good luck with your search, they are great little Jigs. Thanks. OX
Choice fish bro
Try turning the hook on back around to face outwards...it helps with hookups. Gr8 vids.keep posting! ;)
Thanks for the tips mate, but I can't stand running my hook backwards as we often miss fish strikes when the hook is harmlessly knocked into the air when fish hit the smooth curve of the hook from underneath instead of finding the hook point. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the vid though. I appreciate it.
Go squid fishing
Soon Cash. The season is just getting going now
Nice :)
What rod are you using
Hi Troy. The rod was an USG-SP802 8 ft 2 pce Ugly stick gold. Thanks. OX
@@OXTackle Thank you for replying back I'm getting that rod a.s.a.p
@@RiverSide_AD2 My advice would be to check the ugly stick range and find the one that is the most suitable for the type of fishing you are doing with the action you like the most when you test bend them. The ugly stick range are incredibly tough, are built with full Fuji componentry and are amazing value but you are most likey to favour one over the others. I hope you have a great time with your new rod when you get it. Cheers pal. OX
@@OXTackle I settled for the ugly stik bigwater& the gx2 elite
Look at all the Daiwa fanboys here. I'm never into any specific brands because various brands make better gear for different forms of fishing and techniques. I will admit the higher end spin reels Daiwa shines, but the bottom to mid end Daiwa is overpriced barring the BG. I have a Stella 20k, Expedition 5500H, Dogfight 8000, Saragosa 10K and 20K, Biomaster 10k, Catalina 6500, BG 6500, Fin Nor Lethal 100 and Quantum Cabo 120PTSE. People need to bear in mind that Daiwa customer service is poor compared to Shimano. Magsealed reels are more sensitive to service and maintain and Daiwa don't sell the ferro fluid. Not only do the reels cost more but service is also more expensive and take much longer to get your reel back. Shimano also make great products and they're number one in customer service. In regards to rods, I prefer Daiwa especially for surf but for offshore boat rods Shimano takes the cake. There are also a plethora of other rod-making companies out there that blow both Shimano and Daiwa out of the water. Some brands to consider are Blue Marlin, Century, Zziplex, Zenaq, Temple Reef, Assassin, CTS etc. Only the idiots of this world stick to one brand name beause they're ignorant and uneducated of other high-performance brands.
Thanks for you comments mate. As I have stated in other reply's on this video, all brands have some good and some not so good reels/rods. As a serviceman however, Daiwa reels tend to suffer far less corrosion issues than most other brands. As for a person being ignorant for favoring one brand, I prefer to look at it as they are passionate about one brand and there is nothing wrong with that as far as I can tell. As for mag seal being sensitive to service, I'm not sure where you get that info. I have found servicing and replacing Mag seal to be a cake walk and there are very good Ferro fluids available from many sources that do the job nicely. Thanks for watching the video. Hope you enjoyed it. OX
you know shit mate, piss off
Wicked whale sighting!
that was a soviet era submarine
One of the best I've ever had in the Hauraki gulf. I got to say though, it was pretty unnerving being on anchor so close to a reef with that monster passing between us
Daiwa rules
Could still send it in for warranty?
No manufacturer that I know of has a warranty that genuinely lasts more than a year, and none of them warranty a reel with corrosion/heavy water ingress or signs of miss treatment or abuse. This reel would probably fall outside of a warranty unfortunately. There are repairmen like me with the skills if you have the bills though lol, and this reel is still fishing to this day on the service I gave it in 2014
They found a shimano 20000 Stella 08 on the bottom still works fine on the bottom for 1.5years or something like that
Wow. I would love to see the condition it was in growth wise. The Saltiga was only down there for 6 months (the owner who lost it got in contact to let us know) and it looked like part of the reef. It was a huge job cleaning it up. Is there any pics or footage that you know of?
This is also why I only use Daiwa Saltigas for my GT fishing. Damn tough reels.
what do you know? this is the new publish- saltiga coral version.
Haha. Very good :-)
Wow
I just got the same rod. Hope it's as good as you reckon mate. chur
It's a great light rod David. With Smaller kingis and big Snapper it will put a good smile on your dial for sure. Bigger kingi's will be challenging but still doable as long as you let them run and tire them out slowly. Have fun with it mate. Everyone who has purchased one at my shop thinks they're epic. OX
Cheers bro, what breaking strain braid are you using on your saltiga?. It says 18kg line but only max 6kg drag. So I am not sure what to run? all my reels apart from my smaller softbait reels all have way more drag than 6kg's. Is that why you say let the fish run heaps? It's my first really thin jig rod. Usually running things like a Fin nor Troppo stick with a Penn slammer or Daiwa saltist on 50 to 80lb braid. What would you recommend reel and braid wise? I have a mega arsenal of reels and lines. Would a smaller soft bait reel like my Okuma Ceymar C40 with 30lb Daiwa J braid be good? or go a Saltist 4500 with 50lb? sorry to ask, you just seem to know your shit. Tight Lines. Dave
I am running 30lb or 15kg Saltiga j braid on the Saltiga 3500. The rule of thumb to use in general is that your drag should be set at 1/3 of your lines breaking strain. To get the best out of you gear this should be around 2/3 of your rods max drag load. It is important to remember that the max drag load for the rod is only realistic at a 90 deg bend, that is with your rod at not much over 180 deg or parallel to the water. The higher you lift the lighter the pressure the rod can take and in general, the more expensive rods are built out of higher density carbon and so will tolerate a lot less high sticking. I am currently running a penn conflict with 10lb original fireline on the rod (it looks sharp) and have set it at 4 kg of drag. This is actually quite a lot and it gets the rod to bend deeply but still allows for a few slow reactions from me. I am eyeing up the new Daiwa Nero 3000 Mag seal for it as is sooo light and smooth (and also looks sharp on the rod.... Black on black does it for me :-) ), and I would run that with 10lb or 14lb Berkley original fireline or 20lb Daiwa J braid. I personally have a preference for slightly stiffer braids on my smaller spin sets but I like using depth finding braid to target mid water fish more accurately. If you find yourself getting pushed around by a kingi then you can either straiten the rod and slowly apply more pressure, or back the drag off and confuse them. I personally have the most success with the second strategy . All in all a 3000-4000 size reel with around 7 kg of max efficient drag should balance up nicely. Have fun with it mate. Tight lines. OX
what model was this bro
It is the original 6500 expedition pal
Please let us know the music names on this.!!
Hi James. I found it hard to get a track for the video so I made one myself with a program called Soundation Studio Studiosoundation.com/. I called the track Niue Dayz. Thanks.OX
wait if it still can fish
The reel has been sold to another fisherman who still uses it regularly. It has yet to be re serviced almost two and a half years later but we did replace the corroded bail wire but it still has the original handle
Legend reel... daiwa should see this and give credit
thats why Im DAIWA till the end I dont own any stellas but I do own a doghfight and my saltiga doghfight 8000h is smoother than the stella
Hi Armando. I am a Daiwa man myself but it is important to remember that the Stella and several other reels are still very good reels and have been responsible for some monster catches. It is good to know that there is a reason your Daiwa costs you more to purchase though.
But can you guys play rugby?
It will fish better than a brand new Stella.
Lord have mercy… is there anything technology can't do?
It can't rebuild one in that condition. That took hand tools and hours of careful labour
Epic!
Cheers mate
What time of the day was this ox?
It was about 5 mins after the sun had set pal.
Hey I witnessed this a couple of weeks ago around the same time. Our two videos were in a newspaper article on stuff and dailymail if I'm correct. Check out my channel to see my epic encounters with orcas!
+Jackson Baker . I have seen the footage you got. Pretty awesome alright. Nice work
Hi OxTackle, I am a colleague of Catherine Leas and I am trying to get together some of the footage of orca feeding on dolphins in the HG considering it is such a rare event! Is there an email address I can contact you at? Cheers, Krista
+Krista Rankmore Hi Krista. you can contact me at oxtackledevelopmentsltd@gmail.com. Thanks. OX
Hiya, what date was this on? The whale watch boat I worked for witnessed presumably the same group hunting common dolphins a couple of days ago. This is all very interesting!
+Catherine Lea. Hi Catherine. This was filmed on Sunday 27th of September, East of Tiritiri matangi. We were out on Tuesday as well and Saw the Whale watch boat following the Orca and common dolphins, Gannets etc. I was surprised to see the bottle nose being pursued as it looked to be around 2.5m long and quite large. A small pod had come up to us earlier while we were drift fishing and hung around for two minutes checking us out. I was a bit gutted watching one being hunted down. Hope that helps. OX
+OXTackle Hey, thanks for the detailed info! That's very interesting to know as the boat has only ever witnessed orca hunting dolphins twice now in it's 15 year history. I am surprised about the bottlenose too, although we know orca are supreme hunters you would think they would just aim for the easier commons!
+Catherine Lea . Yeah, I know what you mean. We were only sure when we slowed down and paused some of the footage and could see the dolphin more clearly. We also saw a pod of Orca pursuing a Bryde's whale and her calf two years ago in the firth of Thames but got no footage as we aren't allowed to pursue marine mammals. We seem to be lucky in the last week with so many coming to us, although the Orca came way to close for comfort. Thanks for watching the Video. OX
Wow I saw the same just off the Eastern side of Waiheke/in the Firth two years ago too...5th August 2013 (the first time I saw orca, I remember it well). I wonder if you saw the same event or a different one! And yeah I can imagine, it's pretty difficult to see everything when it's happening so fast but you guys did a really good job of filming. We can ID for sure that it's a bottlenose which is really interesting. :)
+Catherine Lea That would be very close to the same time. We were east of Kauri point Waiheke, in line with Terahiki Island and the chase continued East into the firth. It was a little to real when we realised what was going down. I always hoped that the calf made it.
