Although it comes down to personal preference and application, I personally use 2-3m to help reduce line breaks, especially when targeting species such as Kingfish which have a tendency to go headfirst towards structure.

@@IsoFishingTV awesome thank you

I've had experience with both hooks and I'll have to confirm the snagging aspect but to my knowledge, a combination of the eye position (in-line vs offset) and the shape of the gape of the hook tends to change the hook set when striking a fish. I've had good experiences with both but have a slight preference towards the wider gape hook that has a point slightly bending inwards, at least when I'm slow jigging.

Sounds like a plan!

Cheers mate!

Thanks bro!

I can't help it mate, that's my personality. Next time we'll have Will and Gab to film, they make less noise 😁

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew Nah bro your sound effects is what makes the video good! Ooooss Ooooss

@@darrenplayzgamez3045 it's an acquired taste mate 🤣

Oooooosssssooooossssssooosssssssssss!

@@dadbod7636 that's it 🤣

I guess so 😂

Gab looks rusty for a while. : P

Welcome 😎

Thanks for the feedback mate. Hope you still enjoyed it!

@@IsoFishingTV always bro

Yeah mate, long overdue! We're planning more of these so stay tuned

Appreciate it Lance!

Although I’m not familiar with a Certate 3000D-XH-A. I assume the “A” is referencing the Ark handle knob which is an aluminium round knob

Sounds like a plan bro! 💪

Will have to do a special episode with just them two fishing 😂

@@srduckyoce1084 do they even fish?

@IsoFishingTV should do a shop cam day.....with all the oddballs you get in and the random convos haha gold

The first of many 🎉

@@IsoFishingTV it's 6 yearly event 🤣

Thanks for the suggestion, we will try our best!

We wouldn't recommend using an ISO rod for Shore Jigging due to both rods being very different in length, action, strength and tapering. We would highly recommend looking into a rod ~10ft long for shore jigging.

To my knowledge, Daiwa and Shimano have both started to stray away from calling their reels "freshwater" specific and changed it to "finesse" series. Although there are exceptions to this, the main reason is that the water proofing technology has improved quite significantly and has reached a point where their finesse series are suitable in both fresh and saltwater conditions. Regardless of the category of reel however, we highly recommend that you make sure to take care of your reel as well as possible in addition to making sure your reel is kept as dry as possible even while fishing.

​@@IsoFishingTVthey have since your review released the new 2024 sw certate to go the reviewed 2024 freshwater

Overhead reels in general tend to generate more torque than your standard spin reels (eggbeaters). The LD provides a similar level of torque and crank to the Ocea Jigger star drag model, given you're comparing the same size reels, however, the drag on a star drag is weaker and therefore it can fall short against those hard hitting species such as GT, Kings and Doggies. In situations like this, the Ocea Jigger LD with the stronger drag capacity can apply more force to the fish and up your odds of not getting smoked by something big.

24 Luvias is no longer made in Japan though, which will probably affect its resell value compared to Certate or Airity

@@bazkaknics6095 I totally understand and agree with your statement as I usually sell my gear once I get bored or I think it needs an upgrade. A lot of people however, buy such reels for performance and reliability. The humble Exceler reel was/is made in Vietnam and I thought that was a terriic reel for the price. There are other reels I've bought between Daiwa and Shimano that were made in Malaysia, China etc that were solid. Daiwa would have strict quality control in place to protect their reputation. Reels that aren't made in Japan (usually low to medium end) may suffer a lower residual value but it doesn't take anything away from their reliability or performance.

Keep your old Certate. A lot of reviewers have said that the upgrade difference is negligible in real world fishing conditions.

Ester lines. Short for polyester. Closer to a monoline than to braid. It's like a zero strech monoline catering to short bites that aji is famous for

Unfortunately, they currently don't have any left handle models. Fingers crossed Shimano make some lefty's in the future!

I need left handle ,why japan always make right handle ,i very need this thing

The easiest way to tell is by the model code. Shallow spool reels will have an "S" in the model code and deep spool reels will have a "D" in the model code. For example the 3000D-C would be a 3000 size deep spool on a compact body. A 2000S would be a 2000 size shallow spool on a standard body.

Appreciate you Steve!

The HG is a high gear speed and the MG is a medium gear speed. I usually recommend the HG for jigging applications and MG for dropping down baits but the MG is also recommended when targeting species where you'll need additional cranking power
