Daiwa Freams Review 2021 & How to Spool

[@ByronTeaHill]

[@Galvoflysoz]

Instead of using tape on your spool tie whatever slip knot you use uni knowlt whatever then half hitch the spool from the top and again from the bottom so another two half hitches over the spool. Works a treat and no need to have sticky residue on your spool.

[@MichaelWilson-lf2fx]

Mate just serviced my 2010 freams 2500 reel. It's like brand new still going strong. This vid was awesome.

[@ByronTeaHill]

hey legend, thanks for joining the channel bro! I've not had one for that long, but I've heard they last

[@MichaelWilson-lf2fx]

@@ByronTeaHill no worries mate. Love ya work and I'm mad about fishing. Yep I was shocked when I realised it was 11years old. I bought it when my middle daughter was born. Haha. Keen on supporting the channel mate. Keep up the great work.

[@evanmiris5765]

I don't need another reel but I would give it to my nephew who has been getting into fishing and coming along as a fine angler for a young kid, he has the ability to work out what works and what doesn't on a particular day. Good video as always.

[@seanmuxlow4052]

Thanks mate for the opportunity to win this reel , I'd put it on one of my infeet's for bream and bass. Looking forward to meeting you at Forster this Weekend.👍

[@raymundmonica8884]

Love Daiwa LT. I bought the Legalis LT 2500. Use it in one outing. Come back the next day to the shop. Buy the legalis 3000. Cos my wife end up liking my legalis 2500. Now the two of us are using Daiwa LT. She love it to. I'm happy if i catch any fish. On your reel. Cos must of the time I'm only getting a big 🍩. Nice video always helping me out on the tips and tricks. love watching you 😁

[@ianjackson4028]

Bream all year with a giant herring workout over the next summer 🤠

[@fishlikeadad]

Nice review - thanks mate. Might surprise some but I'd use the Freams chasing Trevs...one of the best sport fish around I reckon!

[@brodiepitt-owen7584]

As much as I’d like to have the reel for myself I think it’s only right to give it to the better half. She hasn’t been out for just over a year after having our first child. I’d say she would be itching to go and score a few bream thought

[@ozadventures67]

Straight on the TD Black Pinster for the next Hobie round at Forster Toncurry winching bream out of the racks 🤘

[@joshsfishing4208]

I like my flathead so I’d use the Daiwa Freams to grab a few crocs with the Daiwa double clutch or the Daiwa spike lures which are awesome. Daiwa lures are by far my favourite lures.

[@skava1]

i would love to chase big whiting and flathead at my local Bribie Island, throw on the new 8lb tasline once it releases, havnt had much luck - hopefully a new reel will entise the fish! thanks for the opportunity to win, tight lines everyone 👍

[@joeswanson8716]

I”d use it on flathead and bream. Another great review Byron

[@jett8826]

would for sure be chasing nice flat head and bream in the swan, in need for a 2500 for the light gear setup so 🤞🤞, anyway great vid man and btw your rlly good at stucturing ur videos and doing really good and legit reviews on the products, keep doing what ur doing👍👍

[@ByronTeaHill]

Entered!

[@nigelbuckton1555]

I would put it to the test chasing Hairtail in Newcastle harbour at the moment. Rest of the year flathead.

[@TheKevinmc07]

Love to catch a flathead.. definitely with a bait junkie 2.5 grub.. has to be camo, that colour slays early morning over here in WA

[@playgames7515]

Great video on the 2021 Daiwa Freams LT, I like the way you mentioned how well it pairs up with different rods in terms of balance and even price point. For me I would be using this reel to chase Swan River Tailors given the size of the reel and it's smoothness and corrosiveness properties as I will be flicking hardbodies all day long. It would be a reel that I think I would be using for many years, and for those fishers who would buy one, I think they would be keeping this reel for a while. The reel looks great and fishes well too.

[@zaccurtain4042]

Great video Byron. Would love to catch some big Tassie Bream on the new Freams, coming up to winter they’ll start schooling and going up river which will be awesome fun. 🔥👍

[@Chuppachupslug]

Already sorted for a bream set up, this would go towards my Croc hunter setup, chasing fatties on the kayak should test the corrosion resistant properties of this bad boy! Cheers for the great content and the opportunity!

[@Cmcfishingfactorie]

Bass year round and in spring/summer I'm going to be chasing threadfin salmon in the upper Brisbane river. Cheers clinton

[@garyfrost4413]

Your channel has got me back into fishing and I'm also introducing my daughter to it as well. The possibility of catching quality fish on lures and soft plastics while extracting my daughters phone from her hands is quite exciting. I've also just bought a Pajero Sport and will be hitting Fraser, Moreton, Straddie in the next few years and hopefully catching a heap of fish. Thanks for a quality channel with great production and instruction.

[@ByronTeaHill]

That is awesome to hear Gary! good vehicle that one. I hope your daughter loves the sport - it's a bloody great pass time! appreciate your comment mate. thank you

[@daveregan845]

Love my Daiwa gear. My Crossfire 200 reel with RZ 662 rod has caught me yellow belly, redfin, Murray cod in the freshwater and flathead, bream and even a 95cm jewie on my hobie in the Saltwater. Would love the new 2500 Daiwa fream to add to my reportoire 🙏

[@ByronTeaHill]

Very nice!

[@brettmckenzie5162]

I have the model before this one and its my go to reel for light tackle fishing. I'd be using it to chase the very hard to get Bream in Corio Bay and best bit of winning it would be id have some spare coin for a new Infeet rod that i really want. Monster Bream Byron what a catch!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice! Thanks Brett, appreciate your comment mate

[@jays6366]

Would love to use this for small topwater Sydney Kingys. Especially would be greatly suited to my recently purchased infeet. Love your vids! Cheers

[@chriskiotis6370]

Would be targeting mostly bream and flathead and occasionally whiting. Would make my year if I got it. Cheers legend!

[@paulnewlan9500]

Hanging out for the 21 caldia . I hope there's a review coming for that and for the giveaway bass.

[@peteranders8888]

Would love to see you do a review on the Luvias Airity...how much does Daiwa love you to give you one lol.

[@aidanlau795]

I will use the freams to catch silver trevally, black bream, sand whiting, tailor, tarwhine, bartail and blue spot flathead, herring, snook, squid, cuttlefish and mulloway.

[@shanebardsley8809]

Good looking upgrades I have the old model this would be used for yellowbelly in the dams

[@mattpricemusic895]

Bream for sure!! Maybe even sneak in a couple mulloway down here 😋🤔

[@bazkaknics6095]

What a great looking reel, Daiwa is really stepping up the game at the enthusiast level. I would love to break my PB bream record and go beyond 40 cm with this

[@AyasakiHayate012]

I will catch some Giant Snake heads and GT here on my place using that reel! :) can't wait for it.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good luck!

[@thatz2909]

Bream, Flathead and Whiting. Love your vids Byron, very knowledgeable and helpful for a newbie like me, keep them coming. Thanks.

[@oliverwayte1525]

Hell yeah! Such good information in your vids! I’d love to use it to get some lovely flatties, bream and done whiting up here in Qld!

[@ByronTeaHill]

You're in!

[@nedroberts3557]

I would pair this with a diawa td zero 702LS for bass and reddies.

[@gregorybigeni9457]

Love your channel and love the Daiwa products but only have the lower end stuff at present. Would use the Freams to catch flathead and Bream as my fishing is all land based. Keep the great content coming.

[@rodderslw]

love a silver reel! Would use this for bream and pinkies : ) a 2000 size will be nice on my 21 infeet!

[@darioacheski9205]

Flatty and bream mainly catch and release sometimes I’ll keep them if they’re not too small but if they’re big I will always release them

[@ByronTeaHill]

Dario you've won the FREAMS REEL Buddy. Can you reach out to my insta or facebook pages and I'll get your address thanks!!!

[@darioacheski9205]

@@ByronTeaHill hey I messaged you on instagram thanks so much

[@mohammadbarbour3248]

Sick video on the new freams 21 reel. Seems like it would be awesome to catch some bream with it or at least l would.

[@ichista]

Just picked up a Daiwa rod so this would be perfect as for the fish I'd be after Bonnie's as they are around at the moment. And as always sick video bud.

[@HaiFishing]

Just discovered your videos and have been binge watching all of them! I subbed, hope you keep pumping out great content like this! 🤙🏼

[@ByronTeaHill]

Welcome aboard!

[@masonryan-borbasi4530]

I would use this reel for whiting, salmon, flatties, Redfin, bream and even mulloway as it seems like a perfect all rounder 👌🏼

[@christopherchu2137]

Would love to use this reel to flick plastics and hard bodies in Sydney harbour. Bream, flatties and Trevs would be the main fish but would also use it to give a go at Aust salmons and kings. Interested to compare this reel against Fuego and new Caldia.

[@dannymikhail2186]

Will definitely have to target some bream. Which for me means randomly catching flounder....

[@MrAlGault]

I’ve been waiting to upgrade my 2500 ci4+ and this looks like exactly what I’ve been waiting for. After snapping the tip off my 1-3kg rod maybe a infeet + freams combo will be great replacements. The 10kg of drag will definitely come in handy when one or the big sea run brown trouts takes the lure.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Glad I could help!

[@oldmate6327]

Nice balanced review :-) In SA, the targets are Black Bream, Callop, Redfin and anything else that wants to give me some excitement.

[@bricemorgan7164]

Great vid byron. Kept me well entertained for a Monday smoko! Really enjoy your channel, so much detail and thought goes into them which shows. I'd use the new reel for whiting/bream targets. And give my older 1 to my mate who's got the fishing bug too. Hopefully the channel continues to build and go bigger. 🤙

[@ByronTeaHill]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment Brice

[@jamespark8842]

That's some sick footage Byron and a great vid. The freams would go hard on the bream and flatties, especially with that longer spool height to get maximal casting distance

[@bencamseoloise3795]

Another great review ,looking forward to your next one .If I won the reel it would work well catching some local bream and squid in my local waterholes

[@paulharrison5488]

I’d love to use it to chase a vast variety of species , such as bream ,bass , flathead and even give it ago with the mangrove jacks

[@alanwu3294]

Chasing bream on the racks and at the break wall at Forster Tuncurry

[@mrsirlikestacos]

Only ever caught flathead on lures, would love for this reel to catch me my first bream on one!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Fingers crossed!

[@Andz_88]

Definitely will pair it up with my 20 TD Black Scratchy for snapper, flatty and bream.

[@vikingprotocols2933]

I’ve been looking to buy one, but to win one would be super! I’m targeting snapper in the shallows!

[@strayaaa]

I would push it on big flatty, tight structure bream and of course big whiting on the flats

[@hosko64]

I would use it in my first ABT Forster this coming weekend hopefully I might get paired with you cheers Glenn

[@tommy8563]

Love the overview of the Freams, been saving up for a new spin reel and this freams would be such an honour to win! I fish mainly on the mid north coast of Sydney, I'd make it my permanent estuary reel targeting big bream and flathead dinner, id love to fight some rat kings on it too!

[@TTangOutdoors]

Hey man I just found your channel and subbed! I'd love to catch some walleye with the Freams! We don't have this model in North America!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks for the sub dude! hope you enjoy some of the videos on the channel! Yeww

[@matthewfielden8972]

Great review Byron! The Freams looks like a very capable reel at its price point to tackle bream, flathead and all the other estuary species in between.

[@hjscarfy-90]

Hey Byron Great review mate. I would be chucking it on my 8”6 hyper and chasing whiting if I won it.

[@alberttrinh8716]

Another great video Byron! I would use to reel to target bream and other bread and butter species we have in Aus.

[@Nlsm0]

Those were some nice Bream! I would probably use it to chase some flathead. Would love to see a more in depth vid about your line spooling methods and choices. Keep up the great work!

[@brantmossman1883]

Mate I will be chasing some bream and flathead 🤙🤙 keep up the videos

[@jimjim5245]

Looks like a cracking reel I’d target Bream, flatties...and Redfin. The Daiwa Exceler is also an incredibly good reel for its price point.

[@richardbradshaw9232]

beautiful looking reel i would chase bream and bass on this one maybe some 6lb braid

[@lachlanhinke9739]

I’d be using it for mainly yellow belly and bass, really good looking reel and looks like it catches some monster fish!

100% lizards and breambo around the shallows great work again mate yeww 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🤙-

[@liamharding2753]

Bream, bass, flatties, trout... the list goes on. Winning this would force me to buy an infeet 🤣

[@duanesfishn]

The T handle on a 2500 appeals to me as my hand has slipped off the small knobs of other models at times. I’d used this for trout as well as bream. Cheers.

[@brendonprice6550]

Great video as always, I'd use it on flatty, Bream, snapper... basically anything I can get .. keep the videos coming 👍

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks! Will do!

[@warrenforbes8731]

bream bass and Ep's are my fav's

[@joshforrester3370]

And Byron electrical tape good bra but painters tape that gives u those straight lines even better

[@FullSendRodBend]

Being in SA I would be catching undersized bream haha - great video mate.

[@warrenjones3516]

Would like nothing more then to get my hands on more diet products just starting bream fishing so quality gear would be a great head start

[@rorygibbo6206]

i would really love to get onto some really nice bream with this reel as it would replace my old legalis lt 2500. but most likely would use it most of the time for trout and reddies. my last trip on the bream was pretty hard on the old legalis fishing racks for big bream out of the kyak now shes pretty much cooked haha. this would be a sick reel to replace that... keep up the great work byron mate... yeeeww

[@Redgolfs]

What a reel and that 1.6 can’t wait to see the story on it! Awesome vid again. If I won this it would be put to the test against Gold Coast winter bream!

[@timy9708]

If I was to win the Daiwa fream reel, i'd pass it to my brother who's 21st birthday is coming up so we can slay some breams and whiting on the flats

[@mannygiapitzakis7778]

Hey Byron, Another informative review and I thought the "Daiwa" video was excellent. IMHO, the Freams model has always represented very good value for money. In this reel size, it would be combined into a lovely light spinning outfit when chasing those traditional estuary species (bream, flathead, pinkies etc.) particularly when matched with PE 0.6 or 0.8 braid.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Well said! Thanks for the comments Manny. good luck i've got your entry in

[@mannygiapitzakis7778]

@@ByronTeaHill Thanks! Byron, quick question. What braid (type and size) were you running on that Freams? Cheers

[@lachiemitchell8855]

Few north Gippsland/far south coast bream and flat skulls, squid, small Jews, salmon, tailor, just about anything that swims in the estuaries. Great video as always Byron keep it up!

[@harrisonsfishing9763]

I’d use it a lot for bass, tailor, snapper and flathead on surface. And use it as a slightly heavier set up

[@rlzconway451]

Nice reel, would definitely pair it up with my td zero rod😝, target breams and flatties using tt nedlocks and 2.5" daiwa grubs - my fail proof soft bait as their designed with grooves to hold on to scent longer. I like your vids as they are informative and fun to watch!!!😀

[@RevIt66]

Awesome vid as usual bud! Been eyeing this lovely reel off since i got the new Daiwa bible, been planning on hitting my girls up on my birthday for one to chase that elusive meter flatty.

Great review as always! The Freams would be perfect for Long casts over the flats for skittish whiting using unweighted soft plastics .... and then to hear the drag singing !!

Could do!!!hahaha

[@blakesoutdoors1121]

Please please please..... I would love this.. I would saddle it up to the red/black infeet rod and hit up some Bream and EP’s around Gippsland. Fingers crossed 🤞.

[@rvdfishing5725]

Again nice vid Byron, and I agree with the spool comparison, I also get longer and more accurate casts in with the Daiwa range of reels. I mainly fish for bream all year round and would love to compare the Freams to the Caldia's that I have been using for a while now. :)

[@ByronTeaHill]

Right on. Thanks Rene - Have a great day buddy and thanks for the comment

[@carlcorden9923]

Great video! I'd be using the reel to target bream from the kayak. 🙂

[@wattoak6666]

Would love to chase down some Flathead or Bream on this reel. Nice info about the ergonomics, I have always been a bit unsure about the t-bar handle.

[@ukaar8546]

Honestly I would be chasing giant herring , queen fish, snapper and big bream that would be a lot of fun with that reel

[@isaaccheang7371]

I would definitely fish some good flathead and bream. I’d LOVE TO fish for some cod as well with this reel!!!

[@EzraSwannellFishing]

Hey Byron, 2 things; 1) How would this compare to the shimano miravel for finesse fishing? 2) how would the freams pair with the base 20 infeet rods ($189)

Love the Daiwa reels & still use my old 2012 Freams reel. Would use the new one on Bream mainly & Flathead.

[@chrisbyrne25]

I would be chasing all the usual suspects like bass, bream, ep's, whiting and mulloway and have always been a fan of the T handle. One thing that I would like to say is that I'm a little disappointed in the latest trend of not supplying a second spool, come on Daiwa lets go back to that.

[@imintricate]

I'd use it for a flatly/bream real. I have a lot older freaks and they have been a great reel. Great review.
