Hey man, this was an awesome video. It’s amazing seeing these reels being put to work like that with those big fish. How has the reel held up since then? I’ve been thinking about getting either this or the Saltiga in the 5k size for large snook. I find myself wanting the Certate more because the design is so flawless.
I have a 6000XH and love this reel too. Might consider a 2000LT mate although I do have an older model 2500 Certate and still running smooth as butter after using it for over 10 years 👍🏼
@yakoobjunior9631 10 years and going strong, nice. I've got the 6000 as well. That 6000XH hits a sweet spot for sure. You won't be disappointed with 2500LT if you ever have to update.
Hello Scott Mikles , can you tell me the Daiwa 21 Certate SW 8000 is good quality . i want to buy one but some one said the gear material is very bad , so i m scare .Thank you for your time.
if you only gonna be using it fir vertical jigging you woukd have been better off with the power low speed model. Extra high speed is only good for shore jigging and plugging!
It will be used for plugging, popping, and other lures mainly. I definitely got the model I wanted. I have a Saltiga on a jigging rod, that's my designated vertical jigging setup
A reel with this much line capacity and drag is bordering on overkill for that unless you want to target sharks, then it's a great option. A smaller model like a 6000 will keep it more sporty for anything besides sharks.
@@ScottMikles The reason I was thinking of the 10K size is due to the mono capacity. I probably can't sling a surf rod a 100 yards but still the smaller reels so even if I could that would leave about 170 yards. I guess that would be enough. What does the D-H stand for on the 6K? I noticed the 10K doesn't have a D
As far as the feel and capability, they seem to perform the same. The bearing count and a piece that's aluminum on the Saltiga and zinc on the Certate are two of the only differences. That being said, the novelty of owning a Saltiga is worth it for me. As far as performance they're right with each other. The Saltiga having some more aluminum and bearings makes it only a shade more durable in my opinion.
I believe you can do it yourself but you need to buy the magnetic oil and it isn't cheap. If you rinse your reels after saltwater use they don't require servicing for a long time.
@@antonioradulescu1724 No way u can compare stella with certate sw , better tolerance, better castibility ( better line management along with better spool’s lip designe) ,no gimmik magseal oil thing to worry about, n yes u can service it at home , that pretty looking of daiwa mq body is not complete though. I baught myself certate lt just for the shear of good looking designe only n im going to spoil it n once it needs deep service or parts replacement im going give it to a friend .
@@antonioradulescu1724 mate do u even service ur own reels and if so how effectively do you do it? High end reels like the stella and certate should always be sent into the original manufacturers servicing centre.
I gót a 20K saltiga. But I still love this certate. Absolutely beauty.

congrats on your new daiwa reel! i just bought a daiwa bg airbail 4000 last week, going to test it up tomorrow!
Exciting stuff, let me know how it works out.
@@ScottMikles Its good. I paired it with Gomoku Kaiten Elite Jigging rod, managed to caught 6 amberjacks 5-6kg each within one night.
Top quality reel dependable reel well worth the price, a good investment in the long run.premium Japan quality
I have one too mate, and they are a dream to fish with 👍🏼
Nice. Yeah, they're brilliant reels. Ever fish the smaller LT Certate? I've got a 2500 that's a pure joy to fish with.

Whats the diameter of the 80lb line and how much line does is it fit in the reel?
Would you use the 10000 for surf fishing or is this just overkill for surf fishing?

@311hitwall Deep spool, High Gear. You will have much less capacity with mono, so bigger size may be the move.
I was also looking at the Saltist and it must be a mistake on the Daiwa site. The 14k for the Saltist shows that it weighs less than the 10k??
Is it made in Japan?
How much 80lb did you fit on it?
Right under 300 yds, around 280.
May it land you many monster sized fish
Thank you🙏
Youve been casting with that set up? How was it?
It was great, I was casting big poppers with 80lb braid and throwing absolute bombs. Catching amberjacks on topwater.
Cant wait use it on the big yft Thanks! tight lines
@@genriquezb will be perfect for that. No problem! Enjoy
Getem boss 🤙🎣🎣🤙
You know it👊
Lockup on them fish….don’t play no games….👍🏽
What rod did you pair with, the one on the video
The rod is a Daiwa Proteus H 7 ft.
Having used both the Saltiga and the Certate , do you feel that paying so much more for the saltiga is worth it?

@@ScottMikles thanks for the reply. Appreciate it👍
@@DPFishingZA You're welcome👌
@@ScottMikles Which part aluminium on the saltiga and zinc on the certate???
@@costaplenty7482 one of the gears in the body.
Can you do the service by yourself or you have to send it to daiwa bcs of hes magnetic oil
I believe you can do it yourself but you need to buy the magnetic oil and it isn't cheap. If you rinse your reels after saltwater use they don't require servicing for a long time.
@@ScottMikles and that's why i buy a stella instead
