An honest review of the Daiwa Laguna LT 4000 C

A review of the Daiwa Laguna LT 4000 see after 6 months of use, the specs and pros and cons

[@trampster7306]

Hi Billy! Great review, fabulous location! I Like these reviews, they are always helpful when deciding on new tackle, and glad to see you gave the reel 6 months of use before the review. Good plan Brother! Also glad to see that Daiwa have put a standard handle on the reel - not a fan of these Ball handles that a lot of manufacturers seem to be supplying lately, as on the other reel you had there. Thanks Bill - stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Trampster. I was not a fan of the ball hands, but there not so bad. But you only find them on biger more expensive reels. Fish on Brother 👍😁👌

[@londonviking3801]

Thanks Billy, will consider this on my next reel purchase! Recently bought a v good value Shimano 4000.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Any Viking, tight lines Brother 👍😁👌

been looking for a cheap fixy and yay billy found it for me , great review bro

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Dave, you won't regret it. Fantastic reel, thanks Brother 👍😁👌

[@differentfins]

Great review Billy! The spinning reel I use on my heavy rod is a Fin-nor Lethal LT80 but I'll be looking for something a little lighter for a new pike rod, like a 2500 or 3000, in the future. Cheers Brother.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Joe, glad you like it. It getting harder to find, a good reel for cheap. Until now, thanks Brother 👍😁

[@ianturner3033]

Great, honest review, from an experienced angler, who has used it for some time.👏👏 I'm sure it will help anyone looking for a similar reel.👍 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Ian, glad you liked it. It was hard to wait the six months, but I'm glad I did. Love that little reel. Thanks Brother 👍😁👌

[@metalbenderuk9791]

I don't think anyone comes close to Daiwa with value for money. I absolutely love my Ninjas and I'm now very keen to try one of these for my heavier stuff. cheers Billy, your honest review is much appreciated! 🙌🙌

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Pete, get one before they run out🤣😂 thanks Brother 👍😁👌

Nice review billy ,ive been using the daiwa ninja 3000 reel cant grumble its never let me down 🎣

[@lianzangler7961]

these model also can use Revros LT RR spool.. just adjust the plastic shim for balance for spool line arrangement 👌.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks for the info! Nice 😁👌

[@akwamarsunzal]

Perfect timing Billy! I am looking to replace my old, bit knackered, Chinese 2000 that has done me well over the years to be honest but its getting a bit squeeky and lumpy now. Just did a search for this reel and in typical fashion, can only find the 2000 and the 5000 where I am so looks like I will be nipping down to my local tackle shop and ask them to order me one in!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud, are you sure it's the Laguna. Because they have others that are similar, but slightly bigger. So, tight lines out in Portugal. thanks brother, Hope you find what you're looking for👍😁

[@akwamarsunzal]

​@@Billyfishing_watch Its what I searched for and cannot find a stockist here. Will go to my local tackle shop and ask them to get me one. Oh, had some tightlines recently with some hard fighting 7kg carp and one monster that I could not stop, stripping line and eventually broke off on rocks. Almost empty reel and burned fingers! All good and always lovin your vids man! 🙂

[@Billyfishing_watch]

That sounds like good fishing 😁👍

[@rwglavin3794]

I"m going to be running those "lure killer'" 5000's on 11 foot .5-2oz rods early. And respooled for 12-foot Okuma's .75=3 oz for up close, off the beach stuff. I also plan of using them for them in-shore sea bass & fluke trips. Thanx for posting.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

That sounds great Randy, what are fluke? I cant remember, for the life of me.

[@rwglavin3794]

@@Billyfishing_watch Summer Flounder. Larger & more "toothy" than Black Back but nowhere near as large as a Halibut. More in the Turbot range.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@@rwglavin3794 I know now, wish are flounder where like that. Thanks Brother 👍😁👌

[@ianfirkins6460]

Love my Ninja 4000 for my bass fishing. Never thought about how loud the “reed” is although I bet I’m not the only one who’s carried on fighting a fish like an idiot when their lure has actually been stuck in a snag!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Ian, that it in a nut shell. But all that said, still a great reel. Thanks Brother 👍😁

@@Billyfishing_watch - Yes mate - we work together. Mark and I had way too much to drink in a country pub a few months back. I was telling tall stories about the great fishing here in Lake Macquarie - naturally your name came up - and I've been subbed & binge-watching your channel for a few months now.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Mark and I go way back, had so great time when we where kids. There talk of a visit, so maybe we can fish some day 👍

Hey Billy can you do a video on how to spool a reel with braid I always find a way to mess up

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Sure John, I'll give it a go. Thanks Brother 👍😁

[@seancampbell1145]

I think all the daiwa stuff is great .

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Sean. There reels are, not sure about there rods. But there fishing line, both mono and braid is awful, thanks Brother 👍😁👌

[@seancampbell1145]

@@Billyfishing_watch I've never had any problems so far anyway. The rods have came along a good bit now . Few surf rods out there now good as any but . That's just my opinion dosent mean I'm right 😆. Best luck with it any way . Nice reel

Great video Billy, but was that a dolphin @ 5:28 :P

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Chris, there where some porpoise swimming are round. Good eye Brother 👍😁

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

What is the tip you use to spool braid right to the lip without having wind knots? Is it just in the way you put the line on the reel or is there more to it?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud. Dawa created the gadget for the bail arm so you can do this with the line, so yes and no, is also depends on how many guides around your rod. Where they are positions, the diameter of the line. Weather conditions also play a factor. And how the line was spooled. I have a video that will might help answer your problem. just follow the links, thanks Brother 👍😁

[@backtohealthyactive4355]

You could be able to make the clicker louder. Just take the spring under the spool off, open it up more, so there is more tension on it and put it back. Very simple process, it creates more tension in the drag clicker, and makes it a bit louder.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Bud. I have a feeling it's just to weak, but I'll have a look, thanks bud👍😁

@@Billyfishing_watch should i buy The 3000 version or 4000 for pike?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

You should be good with 10lb line, the real choice depends on what size the fish you're going to catch are, but you will not go wrong with the 4,000!

[@ecksdog]

Never heard it called the reed. I always called it the clicker.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Eck, yes that it's called a reed. But only the manufacturers call it that. I like pling thing😂 thanks Brother 👍😁

[@g00167015]

I believe the NASA scientists call it a twangy yoke, instead of using everyday language like reed haha

[@henryschmidt636]

I hate clickers/reeds. I hunted for a year to find a silent fly reel! Hate any noise from my equipment. Won't use PE/Braid because the noise it makes...

Hi Henry, you can the reed out. 8 strand makes hardly any noise, 4 strand is the noisy one. Thanks Brother 👍

[@blok63]

Daiwa Laguna is too heavy.

It all depends on what you're trying to catch, thanks Brother 👌
