    Great review. I would like to see you do a Tarpon rod review breaking them down in the same categories from entry level to top end. Once again thanks for the review on the reels.

    Nice comparison. I have owned Shimano’s for many years. Recently I picked up a few Diawa’s and love them. They are both excellent reels. Either will do the job.❤

      Thanks!!! Agreed, Daiwa has come a long way in the last 5 years or so and make some killer reels

    I bought a Stella and a Saltiga. The divorce papers showed up a few days later. 😂🤣😂 In all seriousness, I have a TP 6000SW that I use for jumbo striped bass here in the Northeast and it is one of my favorite reels. The smoothness is incredible and it is light for a 6000. Very powerful reel as well. Great content and video for us tackle junkie. Cheers!

    Saltigas are on another level. I agree with your thing about knobs. I don't like those round slick power handles I like the rubberized egg or flat T. . Im getting a 5000 twin power

      I think personally the BG is better than the Spheros for the money. It's been a proven bulletproof reel for like 40 years. And it's cheaper.

    The Spheros have the same IPX rating as the Saragossa. They’re pretty much the same reel except for the drag. The Spheros is amazing for the price

    I love my saltist mq, certate sw, twinpower sw and vr. All amazing reels. Have been thinking of getting either the saltiga, stella or vsx2. What would yall recommend. I only fish the beach and I dont swim with my reel. I go for bull reds and big jacks.

    Hi man, I want to get the 2020 Saltiga 10K H or Stella 8K HG, but I was wondering for your opinion whether if i should just hold on for a little more until next year 2025 Yokohama fishing fest for the new release of the flagship models for both Stella or Saltiga? Thanks in advance.

      I mean, that’s probably your call. The current reels are so good, and they’re not going to suck when the new ones come out. If your always want to have the newest, and your current gear is good, maybe hold off for the new one

      They are decent, if you can get a stradic, or you can get a spheros sw 5000

      @@TopSecretAsiant but the problem is that I want to spend a little more on my rod too. So I thought that Sahara or naci will go best with tsurinoya mystery medium heavy rod. I currently at using nexave and I really enjoyed its smoothness. Stradic is too expensive 💔. Spheros has that very big egg knob that is very uncomfortable for lure casting like 30 grams from the rocks. I prefer small power knob or paddle knob. Anyways thanks for the advise a I really appreciate your effort. 😊😊😊

      @@fishingislife34 if you have the money, get the Shimano Miravel if not get the Daiwa Eliminator 3000 (if you want something a bit heavier) or Fuego LT 4000 (for a lighter setup). If you want to stay Shimano I would get the Nasci FC.

    I've owned almost all size Spheros and from 8k up the drag is pathetic and almost unusable. The drag washers are tiny and start to stick at like 15lb of drag. Size 6k and under is probably the best value on the market on the other hand.
