"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - BACK PORCH REEL TALK:
The Daiwa Saltist 20 HC made me pay closer attention to Daiwa. And now, I have become a genuine fan. It's as if they heard me ask for a reel like this!!

I love this reel. I magged it and it casts like a dream. Diawa says they updated the saltist line with the 20H-B. However they discontinued this 20H-C reel. The only thing they can improve is to add a centrifigul cast control. I don't buy the "oh the level wind acts as a cast control" it dont. You can still get a good birs nest with it.
SOLD all 12 of mine and bought Daiwa Ryoga's from Japan.
Ive been using the same pair of Daiwa reels for 28 years and both are still in great working order/condition. Although I must admit mine probably don't get as smashed about as yours do. Nice Vid Dave
Using a 20H-C and two 30H-C for gator hunting. They're great reels.
Just picked up the 30 size for flatheads. "I don't do the spinning thing" hahaha. Your videos are awesome !
+Lucas Balistreri YA' MAY LIKE THIS ONE TOO: czcams.com/video/8rwcfIrAXtA/video.html JUST BOUGHT MY 9TH "20HC" OFF EBAY YESTERDAY.
Great video Capt.! I'm a Quantum guy at heart...Love my Cabos and Bocas, but like you said and if I remember correctly, we spoke about this in your earlier video, that Daiwa is a true work horse...I love it. Slowly becoming a Daiwa guy..lol
Ok Captain Dave...been contemplating buying this reel for close to 2 years now to replace my old penn 940. You pushed me over the edge and I finally took the plunge. Can't wait to bottom fish with it. I really like the high retrieve and that you can take it out of free spool by turning the handle. I hope I am not disappointed but after watching your follow up vid I am confident that I won't be. Do you use mono on any of your saltist h-c's or strictly braid. I prefer bottom fishing with mono on my conventional setups.
Thanks Capt. Dave. for the compliment with my dog. It's my first GS...He's a handful, but there's nothing like coming home from a midnight shift getting greeted at the door from a raving lunatic...lol. Yeah, so far the Daiwa HC has been the bomb! Love it. Gonna have to pick me up a few more to upgrade my conventional reels.

I got all modern gear in the arsenal Dave...the only old school reel I still owned and used was the Penn 940 (sold it on eBay to help pay for the saltist h-c) I bought the 940 a few years back off ebay more for nostalgia because that is what I used growing up to snapper fish with out of port of Palm Beach. Tried drift fishing with it a few weeks ago and the gear ratio is just abysmal compared to my spinning gear. Doesn't matter much if your anchored up but if I'm drifting over reef with a bait on the bottom, a high gear ratio makes a big difference...can get more drops before I drift off the spot with a high speed retrieve...and get the fish up faster before the tax man gets 'em!
"I ain't no bass fisherman...Ohoooo, it's too heavy!!!" Hahahhahaa....good one Dave, tell em' how you really feel!..(:
Something I have always meant to ask you, Do you hose your reels down with fresh water after each time out? Glad to see a follow up on the reels. I've been a Diawa guy for a long time also!!
***** oh ok, I thought maybe you dipped em in a bucket of fresh water or something. Hmmmm your answering, must be no charters today.
not counting shimano is discontinuing parts 5 years after the reel first hits the shelves.
I thank you for your review!!!
Your into the heavy stuff, Like I am into ultra light! hmmmm, maybe I should do a video on mine!
***** The hammer head wasn't enough of a fight?
I want to know if the Daiwa Saltiga reels are surf casting reels?
+MrOnegesius Don't know. Never owned one. I believe a SALTIGA is a trolling reel. Want a surf caster get the Daiwa Millionaire surf fishing Mah Reel
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters Thanks for the reply. Like your videos.
I just bought a 7' Tiger Medium conventional rod rated 20-50 lbs test and can throw 3/4-6 oz for light/medium saltwater and medium/heavy freshwater (big Striper in Lake Murray, SC). I want to get the Daiwa Saltist but am not sure if I should get the 20 series or the 30 series. Which do you think I should get?
The product number is on the Tiger is BWC220170
I fish for much stronger fish (Big Sharks and Redfish and many others) and use just 20HC's....
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters alright cool, I'll be doing allot of inshore as well
If I can't land a fish with the line the 20HC holds, we don't need to catch it....and its happened. I have VIDEO of it on my channel!!!!!!!!
Try the Tatula 100hs and compare to your Curado. The TWS makes the difference :)
The Zillions with the TWS would be a top pick also...maybe even a JDM model with BLING!
Oh well..I ended up getting the Calcutta 400B.
Shoulda gone Ryoga! hahahahaaha
***** I just got the Calcutta 200D. funny how I used on 10footer lamiglas insane surf. its like I'm just holing the Rod. unbelievable, tiny and powerful!
I got the saltist-LW 30H. I believe a little cheaper than this. I hauled like 3 pounder without knowing it seriously.. these DAIWA's model are freaking beast. yeah, same here, I don't do spinning. they are ugly lol
That makes you an "anti-spinite" then!!
