It is smooth. But like any other shaft, you have to consider where you play. If in a humid environment, you will need gloves/ powder. Other than that, you're good without them.

Yes you are right Sir. I was also surprised that it does not have one.

The finishing is great. It looks like wood but plays and feels like carbon. For cleaning, I just wipe it with wet wipes same as how you treat a carbon shaft. So it is easy to clean.

Hi and thank you. It feels smooth like carbon.

Thank you so much. It feels same as revo and performs well too. I am just not very sure about the pro taper.

@@ectvoman6910 Thank you for your feedback. What about the sound? Revo has a dingy sound which I dont like. Does Whyte carbon has the same kind of sound when you hit the ball with a hard stroke.

@@velikayim2182 it sounds better (more solid) than revo.

Hi, wow great purchase. Yes, it will fit this rod.

Hi Sir. Yes, everything is fine especially the light set-up, no fatigue even if I fish onshore for 5-6 hours.

@@ectvoman6910 OK. Thanks.

Hi Sir. The rod is rated for 30-80 grams lure and up to 50 lbs line. So you have to match the reel and line for this. Saltiga 10000 can be used up to 50 lbs. line rating.

Hi thanks for watching. If I am onshore I usually use the Travel 743MS. But the AP, I use in the boat as it can handle bigger lines and heavier lures.

I think it is up to 80 grams and 50 lbs line.

I'm glad that you are also enjoying products from Daiwa.

I checked yesterday my biggest luggage, but it does not fit.

I was able to fit it in my check-in luggage by removing it from its bag.

30.5 inches

@@ectvoman6910 Thank you for the answer!

@@Денис-р5о3з Welcome

The Daiwa BG MQ and Daiwa BG SW are both popular spinning reel models from Daiwa, designed for saltwater fishing, but they have some distinct differences primarily centered around their design, construction, and intended use: 1. **Monocoque Body (MQ) vs Standard Body**: - **Daiwa BG MQ**: Features Daiwa's Monocoque (MQ) body design. This design uses a larger single-piece body which allows for larger internal gears and enhanced strength and durability without increasing the body size. The MQ body is also more watertight due to fewer openings. - **Daiwa BG SW**: This model uses a more traditional body design which is robust but may not provide the same level of internal space or tight sealing against saltwater as the MQ body. 2. **Gear Design**: - **Daiwa BG MQ**: Employs larger gears due to the extra space provided by the MQ body, which often results in smoother operation and potentially better durability. - **Daiwa BG SW**: Uses standard sized gears which, while effective and tough, might not offer the same level of smoothness as the larger gears in the MQ model. 3. **Drag System**: - Both models come equipped with strong drag systems, suitable for battling large saltwater fish, but the MQ model might offer a slightly improved drag performance due to newer technology and design enhancements. 4. **Overall Size and Weight**: - **Daiwa BG MQ**: Generally, the MQ design allows for a lighter and more compact reel compared to traditional designs with the same or increased internal capacity. - **Daiwa BG SW**: Might be a bit bulkier and heavier due to the traditional design, though this does not necessarily affect its performance negatively. 5. **Price Point**: - **Daiwa BG MQ**: Tends to be priced higher than the BG SW due to its advanced construction and technology. - **Daiwa BG SW**: Offers a more affordable price point, making it a popular choice for anglers who want reliable performance without the higher cost. 6. **Intended Use**: - Both reels are designed for saltwater fishing, but the BG MQ’s enhanced features might make it more suitable for anglers who demand higher performance and durability, especially in harsh saltwater environments. - The BG SW is a solid choice for everyday anglers who need reliability and performance at a more moderate price. In summary, if you're looking for a high-end reel with the latest technology and are willing to invest a bit more, the Daiwa BG MQ is a great choice. If you prefer a more traditional reel that still offers excellent performance but at a lower cost, the Daiwa BG SW would be a suitable option.

That is my 2024 Daiwa Saltiga Air Portable Rod. You can see it unboxed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHmbp4h9lrV2rsk

@@ectvoman6910 thanks man

@@mudard welcome

Yes, I have used it and caught big needlefishes with it. It feels sturdy and I feel confident when using it.

What weight max for lure?

Hi. I'm using it for jigging. I have also used it for poppers and stickbaits.

I have Saltiga 5000 and unboxed it in my previous video. I am also gonna unbox Daiwa BG SW 18000 soon.

Thank you Bro. Really appreciate it.

@@ectvoman6910 Hello ! How the kit works. Maybe you need a different reel or a different spinning rod. Or is everything fine - balance, work, fatigue?

Thank you for your feedback. Will consider that next time.

Glad that you enjoyed the video. And I'm sure you're also enjoying your Saltiga travel rod. 😉

In Shinas

Yes I totally agree. The quality is really superb.

I bought the Shimano in The Hook, Al Fujairah. The Daiwa Saltiga, I got from Amazon US.

Wow make test i want to see if can handle big fish

​@@NashYT01 this fish I caught using the exact light setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p56xeXhuq7tlZpo

Thanks for watching. I think between 30-80 grams is optimal for this.

That reel is a beast too. Just opted for the 5000H as it is bit lighter but with same 15kg drag. For the rod, got it from eBay and it's pretty solid.

Yung travel rod sa eBay and sa Amazon yung reel.

Gracias 😊

Rod is around 250 USD and reel is 565 USD.

Qalhat, Oman

Napaibig pre haha

Yes, they are good to catch and eat.

That's great.

Thank you

Sorry to hear that

Check the colors. One is pure red and the other has red and black.

Wow, that's cool. I'm sure you enjoyed it too

Hi Sir. I don't have idea as this was bought in Oman.

Sa Shinas Idol
