  • @kevinbeaudean704
    @kevinbeaudean704 Před rokem +7

    Thanks Justin. It's the perfect reel for me. Quality, options,line cap.,size and price can't be beat. It is smoother than my 2nd favorite reel (SLX XT). Bang for buck all SLX reels are great. The SLX DC is good for people who backlash alot but the MGL is my choice, you'll love it.

  • @n2ostroker

    @manifestgtr Před rokem

    The mgl is great but anyone looking at these SLXs…don’t discount the standard issue SLX. I own each variant and the standard is still my favorite. You don’t have to fiddle much with it, it casts medium to larger baits a mile and since it’s simple, it’s easy to service and there’s less that can go wrong with it. Where my xt and usdm mgl went a little “geary” after a while, the SLX has just kept on truckin. It sits next to my aldebarans and metaniums quite comfortably and while it isn’t quite as refined, it always does whatever I ask it to without any trouble.

    Justin I have been watching your videos for the last few months and I have been learning a lot from you, but I have a question that you may be able to answer for me. I do not have a lot of money, but I am trying to put together the best gear I can within my budget and still leaving enough money to purchase the 6th sense gear and tackle that I need. So my question is this. What is the best bait caster and spinning reel combos under $100? I am looking forward to see what you say, I am just limited funds wise since I have 4 kids in college and I dont want to take from them. Kids first for me but I love fishing. Thanks Justin and keep the great videos coming.

    • @JustinRoyal
      @JustinRoyal  Před rokem +1

      I don’t really have any experience with combos in that price range so it’s difficult for me in good faith to make a recommendation. I think the best budget friendly baitcaster combo that is still reasonably budget friendly is the SLX Combo from Shimano. But that’s about $200 if I remember correctly. The most economically priced reel I own is the Daiwa Tatula CT and it alone is $130. If I had to go with 2 sub $100 picks right now without doing any hands on research I’d say Shimano Caius and a Dobyns Colt rod. That’s as close to a $100 combo as I could recommend at the moment. Hope this helps.

Can't wait to get it in hand. It's my first daiwa reel. It's going on my cranking setup for shallow cranks up to 5 feet. Of course I'll be throwing a lipless on it as well.
