I purchased this reel about 6 months ago. At first i was iffy because of the price but like always “you get what you pay for” I decided to go for it and man oh man oh man! This reel is nothing short of amazing. Definitely recommend this reel to anyone!
Couldn't agree more🤙🤙
Always like the customer service and honestly. I have purchased multiple rods and reels from JJ - never disappointed.
Great video!
Wish they made it in lefty 😭. Waiting for the 35JHL to come, if it ever does. I ended up going with a maxel rage 60HL to get a reel in that rough size class in lefty but really love Daiwa stuff in general.
Im a lefty and i hate how there’s no ocea jigger in 3000 or 4000 Lefty. Seems backwards to me.
Accurate valiant over everything. 500n & 600nn all day
Awesome video Johnny wish you would have gave us a price
Nice reel, I think it's a very nice but it's not for everyone...expensive!!! I'm a new subscribers guys, really enjoying the all yours videos. I'm from England and I'm fishing for codling, ling ,pollock and I use penn reel and ugly stik rod 😊😂, I hope sometimes I purchase a nice rod and reel to enjoy the fishing. Really nice videos...oll the best for you guys!
Hi Alin, Thank you for subscribing. Tight lines to you my friend...Johnny
I love that these reels have are capable of such high drag amounts but what can you do with it if your using 30 or 40 pound line?
Use 35JH for big tuna, big wahoo, big kingfish, with 40,50LB braid line. i like use it for running fish like wahoo, big kingfish.
I love daiwa and especially the top of the line saltiga series. Spinning and baitcasters, however the accurate BV300c is incredible
Agreed
I love the drag on my accurate’s.
I’m selling my Accurate’s, including my BV-300c for Saltiga’s. The Valiants have a history of not holding up to heavy drag, and no dogs. The Saltiga is a freaking tank, my favorite reel I’ve ever held!
Can these equipments work on the west coast fishing big blue fin tuna? 100+ Lb species
hello good evening but does this reel exist on the left? is there a price difference?
Agreed. It's a great reel. When the 35JH came out it was a bit pricey. But since other makers are raising their MSRP, this reel is now priced very competitively against them.
Yes, I believe the price of this reel is going to go up as well next year. Best to buy one now.
@@JohnnyJigsTV Boooo. Just kidding. Good thing I got mine a few months ago.
Is the LD series only came out with right hand retrieve no left?
I bought this reel and put it on a Zenaq fokeeto FB64-5 IKARI, PE 2.5 targeting 10kg fish…
Does anyone know if the knob from this reel will fit the 2-speed?
Not to mention there's the 5 Year Warranty Service available on the Saltiga (including their Lever Drags) 🙌
Exactly...White glove warranty service all the way..
do you service reels as well?@@JohnnyJigsTV
Not in-house, but we have a great relationship with authorized service companies. Call the shop the boys will take care of you.
Pengen punya reel sperti ini
Does it have a wind liner ?
I was definitely eying the left handed ocea jigger. This is sweet too! I have a valiant 300 but I use it for wreck fishing mostly. Tog, cod… if this comes left handed should I get it over the ocea? I don’t usually fish super deep. At most 225ft for now
Hi L Capo, I would suggest going with a saltiga 15 or 20 for shallow water. Add the power handle for $20...and it's an amazing SPJ reel.
@@JohnnyJigsTV thank you all 💪🏾💪🏾
@johnnyjigstv can you adjust the drag on the fly with this tell, like while in the strike position?
Hi James, Yes, you can
Qhats up johnny jigs. How you doing brotha hope all us well. Hey man I wanted to ask you what you think about the saltiga 35 or the 600N out here in the pacific in between San Diego and long Beach. Slow pitch live bait rockfishing kinda off all around daytime reel? I know there both awesome
I’m curious also
Did you find an answer ?
I'm looking to switch from Accurate to Shimano or Daiwa for slow pitch because I've had nothing but problems with my 500N.
What kind of problems you encountered.
I just got one
So I’m tossed up between a accurate or that reel. But why have a single speed reel instead of a two speed reel? Is there a benefit? I need a left handed one but don’t know what to get, Mainly fish from 150 -400 but soon going out deeper? Any info helps but I’ll be calling ya soon also. Love the channel and jigs
Definitely call the shop. I only use a two speed when going for large tunas. I prefer the single speed for cutting weight and fewer parts to break. Unfortunately, the Daiwa 35jh doesn't come in righty, but the Valient does.
I've sold all my Accurates and am going to Saltiga's. Accurates are pretty but they are not as dependable and robust as the Saltigas.
How’s the drag on these compared to the dual drags of the Accurate? I’ve had some good fights on my accurate with 80# line. That dual drag system is smooth for the big tuna runs.
Better than Accurate. The Valiants are a light framed reel, they’re not known to hold up with heavy drag with big tuna. Saltiga’s are.
@@karlkobler218thank you for your feedback. I wasn’t speaking of the valiant line, but that’s good to know about it. I was asking about the drag feel. The double drag disc, one on each side of the spool. Makes for a super super smooth drag with absolutely no bind up or jerking of the reel when line is getting spooled against the drag.
@@patrickkelly8095 The Saltiga is crazy smooth too. IMO that was revolutionary when Accurate came out with the dual drag, but technology has caught up and I havnt noticed a difference between the Accurates, Okuma Alijos and Saltiga in terms of drag.
Hi (:
Will you recommend the saltiga better then the ocea jigger?
I’m curious also. Did you find a solution ?
I Like Reel Daiwa
This reel don't have clicker for drag sound when big fish strikes?thanks
That is correct, no clicker.
you haven't had any problems with the drag preset backing off as you go from strike to freespool over and over again? i know a few buddys with the 55's 2 speed who have experienced this problem
Hey Chad, not with the LD35JH it's also single speed
I have a 55 as well. I haven't seen that issue yet but I will keep an eye on it. By any chance, did they happen to say how they were using it, what were they doing? I've only used mine for reef fishing AJ's, Gags and ARS in 250 feet or less.
@@77jaycube69 they were using it for vertical speed jigging for bluefin at night lots of going from strike to freespool. my friend set his drag 30lb at strike and when he did hook a fish that night after jigging for awhile it was obvious that the drag had backed of significantly and had to adjust on the fly. we tested after, he set the drag 30lb. put it from freespool to strike 20 times then measured it again and it was like 15 lbs.
@@zeauz Makes sense. I could see how that could happen. I will be sure to keep an eye on that when I am out fishing.
Johnny I know you used a 500n spj for a long time what do you prefer?
I have the 500n 2 speed with slow pitch knob and in my opinion beats everything but the 500n has to be in 2 speed to get the best of both worlds
Call me lazy or a rookie, but I love my lexa. Caught a 20# ARS no problem
Bro, the Lexa is nice. Just the level line alone makes it super easy to use. Honestly, I think the Lexa is a great SPJ reel.
How does this compare to the accurate 500n? In the market for and torn between these two
Robert, I fish both of them and can honestly tell they are both great reels. Call the shop today and I will give you a run down of both. 954-889-4915... ask for me by name Johnny
do you think for maxel transformer F50CH?
I love it. It's a well put together reel. We call them OMX here in the states
what's the difference between ld35jh and ld35jp ?
Power Gear and High Gear
So…can we start trading in our Accurates for these?
I am concerned, Daiwa doesn't offer left handed jigging reels in most cases. There is a HUGE gap there really. Why? Actually people reel most of time with right hand?
You know how I feel about this Beauty 😉💯
This reel slays. I’ve had one paired with my power 3 palmarius and it’s nasty. But friends all want to laugh pointing at how light that tackle combo looks until they see me pulling up huge mutton and groupers in from 200-400 foot. I’ve even brought up nurse sharks over 12 feet long and a concrete block from 250+. Don’t even know how that happens but this reel winches that thing up.
But does it come in lefty??
Unfortunately no...We have been talking to Daiwa about that 😕
But how come a Reel manufacturer like Daiwa cater only for one type of people while it's a hard truth that you have so much lefty users now?
I am also a lefty but Will, shamed me to buy a righty when there was no other choice and I must say it's an easy adjustment.
@@JohnnyJigsTV I’ll be honest. As a guy growing up on spinning gear, I refuse to retrain myself on reeling with my right hand. Being available as lefty is #1 requirement for me when buying a conventional reel. If it doesn’t I won’t even consider it.
I will tell my people at daiwa.
