The main difference you will see in the Daiwa and Shimano vs Pflueger is in the quality of the gears. The Pflueger simply wont have the same longevity as the other two. I like the Presidents for $50 but anything above those I go to Shimano and Daiwa.

Well you hit the nail on the head with retrieve ratio. In the colder waters up here we need to slow down to be consistent and the tasks we use spinning reels for do not require "burning" anything. Jerkbaits, tubes or finesse more often than not require painfully slow presentations. I have said many times that i fished 300 days a year in the saltwater and have caught hundreds of Permit, Bonefish and big Jacks. I used Pfluger Presidents for myself and clients so if they held up and did well...what in the heck does anyone need for a Smallmouth or Walleye??? I can promise nobody will ever use 20lbs of drag in the freshwater. EVER!!!! Stradics are nice but absolutely ridiculous priced for this fishery. Great choice except i think even that reel is overkill. Presidents are all ya need!! Good video as usual bro!!

Southeast michigan bass fisherman here. Grew up fishing st. Clair to Irish hills lakes and everything in between. I also throw most of my jerk baits on spinning. When I first got into 25 years ago I started on Spinning. Went away from it when I started throwing bigger jerk baits but realized I wasn’t getting bigger bass by using 5/8-1/2oz jerkbaits as it’s a reaction bite. The bigger baits on casting equipment I find to be more fatiguing. I prefer 1/8-1/4oz baits and throw them on a shorter spinning rod which helps me from hitting my rod tip on the boat or the water. Also give me better accuracy if fishing towards the bank or if I’m off the boat and fishing from the bank. I throw lucky craft pointer 78, megabass oneten jr, a few different yo-zuri and daiwa 95 TD minnows. I probably own 100 pretty high end jerkbaits. rod: G. Loomis GLX 722s sjr reel: daiwa exist 2003s-h line: 10lb power pro v2 with 8lb seaguar tatsu leader. A little over kill but it’s my passion so why not.

I've used it for three years in fresh and saltwater. It has caught an amazing number of speckled trout, redfish, and largemouth bass. I typically use it to throw soft plastics or finesse baits. It's super light, smooth, great drag, and the gear ratio is perfect for these techniques.

I’m from Florida and Shimano, Penn, and Daiwa run the market down here. However, I picked up one of the president XT’s at BPS about a year ago and bought one on the spot for finesse fishing for bass. I still use the XT regularly and now own a regular president model as well which are incredible quality for the price. I also have a Supreme baitcaster that is on one of my main bass rods. I have a Daiwa Fuego baitcaster as well for faster baits but I’d say I really have no complaints about either and both hold their own in their price range. For saltwater inshore and offshore use, I will say I lean heavily on the Daiwa BG model. Overall, I feel Shimano and Penn are overpriced, the cheaper Daiwa models below the fuego and BG are crap, and the Pflueger’s are the absolute best bang for the buck for freshwater use.

Who makes the best spinning reel depends heavily on the price range. If you are looking for a freshwater finesse style reel in the 40-75 range okuma and daiwa are really great with several other options including pflueger right behind. Once you pass 100 Shimano joins the party with Daiwa, but okuma kinda disappears. At the 200 mark the new Shimano stradic is the champ with a few Daiwas coming really close. From that point up I have very little experience other than a single Shimano exsence ci4+ that I absolutely love!

Bro you could just get a low gear ratio baitcaster for jerk baits and you are supposed to use the rod, not the reel for a jerk bait. The reel should only be used to pick up the slack of the line. And for the daiwa tatula, it weighs 6.2 ounces in the 3000 size according to the daiwa website and tackle tour and other websites. It also holds around 280 yards of 10 pound line in the deep spool option, which is the same price as the shallow spool option, which is the one you mentioned in the video. It also has 22lbs of max drag. Also the daiwa holds the most lines is the lightest, has 1 corrosion resistant ball bearing with 5 other bearings. Aslo the number of bearings also does not matter. It is the quality of the bearings as better bearings will make a reel smoother for longer than 10 bad bearings as opposed to 6 quality bearings. I am also not saying that the fluger has bad bearnings. I also have to say that I am currently in the market for a new reel and I have 3 p fluger reels and I love them all. Also people look for line capacity, drag, and weight in a spinning reel as those are the most important qualities in a spinning reel, not the amount of bearings. Also having a bigger spool in a spinning reel also handles line better than a small reel as it prevents line twists and makes for further casts, according to brent euler, KVD, and a multitude of other pros. But if you are going to reference these stats, please check all of them correctly.

Adam Leiva thank you for taking the time to watch and leave such a great comment. First I agree 100% jerkbaits get all of their action from the rod but I want a slow gear ratio reel to insure I’m not imparting any forward motion or action from my reeling in too fast. A high gear ratio reel you may not even know you’re reeling too fast and effecting the lures action. For line capacity, you’ll find many high end JDM reels with less capacity for some of the reasons you mentioned. Keeps the reel light and still able to manage the line very well. I understand I’m covering a lot of water with a jerkbait and this reel but don’t need over 200 yards spoiled even with backing on a reel. In my hands, this reel felt considerably smoother than the other two...was it the bearings or something else, I guess that doesn’t matter other than for me I felt it was the better choice. Thanks again for commenting and keep up the discus throwing, I also did shot and discus, it’s the best!

I feel like the trend toward lower line capacity is a result of the popularity of braid, and the realization that smaller diameter lines will produce more strikes due to being less visible and imparting less unnatural action to the lure. If I'm being honest about how I use a spinning reel in freshwater, I'm not casting for distance as much as accuracy and I'm using a line diameter that is as thin as I can possibly get away with. Ideally I don't want to spool up more than 100 yards of expensive high strength small diameter braid but I would also prefer not to use anything small than a 2000 size reel (it really helps to prevent line twist and improves casting distance considerably). I had a reel way back in the 1990s that had a large diameter spool and came with a little rubbery arbor filler that you could slip on your spool and it took up half of the capacity for people who wanted to use braided lines. Everything else about that reel was just awful but what a great idea they had with the spool, that thing would cast a mile with 20# braid!

I have yet to find someone who has fished both and give a logical explanation as to why Shimano is better it usually ends with "I won't use anything from Pure Fishing because they just buy there reels and slap their brand on them. Shimano and Daiwa actually researches and develops their own products." And yes that is the laziest and most annoying "point" anyone can make.

I don’t care about the quantity of the ball bearings but the quality that’s why Shimano is the best. They beat any other bearings hands down no competition. There smoother, last longer, cast further then anything on the market. Btw the tatula lt is lighter. If you get the 2000 with line spooled it’s 6 ounces. The 2500 holds to much line for my taste. I like faster gear ratio for my jerkbaits as I can pick up line more quickly and not miss a strike. Also Shimano has the better drag then Diawa and pfluger. The funniest thing is I don’t have a ci4+ but I have the tatula lt in the 2000 size. I still want a stradic man there that good. The Patriarch I held was Geary and a lot more effort needed to reel compared to Shimano and Diawa.

Think of some guy driving up to a Chevy dealership with a 1990's Silverado asking if they have parts on hand, you'd look pretty stupid. I'd be ecstatic, 4 reels survived 30 years?

+Jesse Alvarez thank you so much for your great comments. I love Shimano and they make great products, but I have really enjoyed this Pflueger. Landed many fish with it this year including my new 6lb PB smallie. It’s worked just like new every time. Maybe I’ll try and grab some more reels and put them all to the test this spring. Thanks again man

His argument about the Pflueger carrying less line and thus being less likely to create wind knots is weird. I have never experienced wind knots with my Stradic ci4, it just holds more line, maybe it happens if you use bad line? He also talks about the retrieve rate and says that he prefers the 5:1 retrieve rate of the Pfleuger over the 6:1 rate of the Shimano and Daiwa. This is also proof that this guy has done research poorly. The Stradic 3000 ci4 FB has a retrieve rate of 5:1, only the HGFB version has a 6:1 rate, I'm not 100% sure if Daiwa has other versions but I would not be surprised. Basically this guy is wrong and not trustworthy. I'm sure the Pflueger is an excellent reel but dont try and compare it if you don't know anything about the Tatula and Stradic ci4

You’re line capacity arguments are completely irrelevant. Many braids have a mono equivalent less than actual pretty much ANY mono line. You can fit 300 yards of #20 braid on a 2500 series because it’s a 5-6 mono equivalent, with backing mind you.

Pflueger is not Midwesterner. Maybe you think so bc it's a Walmarter. Pflueger isd king at $60, not worth at the highend. Pflueger is recognized all over America for thast President. Have seen internal components failed on the higher models. The problem with the President is the spring in the bail arm tends to wear out after a few years. If you don't mind the weight or the fact that it closes the bail on you ince in a long time, then President is the best value for the money at $60. Used to be $50. You can always switch out the spring and get over 10 years of abuse if you don't mind the weight. As for quality at $200, I'd go Shimano. Not a Shimano fan tho. Seriously, for $100 you'd get a better reel in Cadence in the CS10....only thin is the color is blue and black. They need to do red and black or all black. Blue literally matches no rod lol.

Your talking Bearings everyone knows how makes the better Bearings and shimaino hands down wins that they don't need 10 or 11 Bearings to make the real Smoth it's not in Bearings that make a real Smoth its balance! I like what your saying I'm not being a Hypocrite but shimaino hands down makes a better real long lasting Durability strong. I have all 3 but in 2500 I got a ballistic 2500 as well I like a 3 but the ballistic is not as nice as far as smooth I do like the spool on the ballistic for a further cast but tell ya the truth I cant tell the difference because its only like 5 feet or so however I like the drag system on the Pflueger..

Looks are nice, but you put hole lot of crap into this video about Daiwa and Shimano Bearings Eva knob and Ratio. Stradic exist in lower ratio too, the Fl 5000 has the Eva knob and bearings dont say nothing Aliexp got spinreels with 10 till 15 bearings for 35 £ But sayed that, never own Pflueger reel but heard the are just good and well priced. You can ask yourself while brands like Daiwa and Shimano are still in the top of the segment. Because they are really good 👊 every day and every time and you know it too, almost want to say how much they payed you 👍 Buy the Mitchell MX 9 spinreel looks even good and works perfect, bit cheaper too and just great brand tru all the years in the fishing industry.

what's up with the holes in the reels? It's like some kid who's never fished, got their hand on autocad and went to town on the design. Ohhh, maybe it's help to cool the cpu in the reel down? honestly, It looks like a reel that is on a vegan diet and screams made in China.

It's all about weight saving. The Magnesium alloy body, carbon fibre reel handle and line seat? The skelitonised spool, alloy bail arm and titanium shaft. This reels sole purpose when first realised was to be super lightweight and one of (if not) the lightest at the time of release. It might scream China to you, but having owned 3 personally of the slightly older version that didn't have any red on the body, they're fantastic reels that have lasted me for many years and caught many fish whilst still looking flawless. The heaviest used and oldest of the 3 beeds new drag washers and is a bit louder than when new, but it still feels super smooth and responsive.

Too much sh!t going on just to be fancy and eye catching! That handle for example, too much joints/connections for something that should be simple and 1-2 piece.
