Daiwa's NEW mid-range reels are AMAZING! | Daiwa 22 Whisker 45 SCW QD OT

𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗚! £1,000s worth of carp fishing prizes to be won each week, and tickets start from as little as 99p! ⇢ bit.ly/COComps
When it comes to casting extreme distances or boating a rig out even further, the Whisker 45 SCW QD OT begins to come into its own. It's Daiwa's first reel to feature the QDM drag system, letting you adjust the drag from open to closed via one full turn (the more common QD only requires 1/2 a turn). The LC Long Cast 45mm spool combined with Slow Cross Wrap line lay, applies minimal friction during line release, enabling extreme casting distances. And better still for CARPology's Joe Wooltorton, is he's been luckily enough to nab a set and this is what he's made of them so far!

Joe what is the whisker reel in your surface set up you mentioned?

[@robertbalkovec4087]

Do tell more about new Korda Kaizen rods! :)

[@paulAnthony7236]

If I sat on that chair I would probably collapse it lol.Daiwa do some nice mid reals I don't use Daiwa carp reels but they look spot on.

[@waynegreen5631]

Can you do a video on the new infinity rods

[@johngmls]

Very nice reels however I am not sure if you were refering to Shimano's when you were explaining line lay as they have a much slower oscillation and more parallel line lay. I have heard it mentioned before that this type of line lay negatively affects distance which is incorrect. A quick search of fixed spool reel distance casting records will show that the Shimano's are at least equal to the Daiwa's and possibly hold more records than them. Both makes are as good as each other and it is down to personal choice.

[@UbiquitousRomp]

Pointless cement for a mid ranger reel. When it's the higher end stuff setting the records you are referring to. You can also point out how Shamano are lighter, by replacing some internals with plastic.... For the win?

[@andyclark9754]

carpology don't give bad reviews,it's not in their interest

[@tonymccarron3145]

They don't even do reviews Just paid for adverts

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

As long as you operate in the world with that in mind, you'll be alright.

[@andrewbeckley728]

A folded handle on the outside helps keep the handle from being caught accidentally when one is in close proximity to the rods, especially by the belt loops on thigh waders that I usually wear. That's why I have been doing it for over 20 years anyway.

[@aidancarmichael6868]

what's the difference between these and the emblem 45's? apart from the qdm knob which fit's the emblem n is a huge upgrade

[@chrisbaxter6706]

Your find they probably they have changed the washer configuration different material washers in the spool to make it 1 turn from free spool to locked up over the normal emblem 45

[@aidancarmichael6868]

@@chrisbaxter6706 ive put the wisker 45 knob on my emblems 45s n its turned the drag into 3 quarter turn rather than the half a turn, apparently they were doing this in Europe a year ago, i rang diwa up in the uk n ordered the qdm knobs n they work a charm! ive also changed to ice washers but did that when i first got the reels

[@Toronto_James]

@@aidancarmichael6868 have a look at the felt washers from weston developments - changed mine to something I could work with now as I was ready to sack them off.

[@aidancarmichael6868]

@@Toronto_James would do mate but ive put ice washers in them, n put these new qdm drag knobs on n there perfect now mate 3/4 of a turn with the reliability n smoothness of ice washers.

[@andrejacobs6078]

I upgraded my emblem 45’s Sith Carbon wassers, qdm knobs and woorden handles. These reels wouldn’t be worth the extra money to me. Ik guessing better quality gearing and hopefully lichter, but haven’t looked that up yet

[@carpchasingcharlie]

Already got em best reels about for price got 2 sets off 4 Carnt fault em

[@luciussander8217]

Carnt? em? English not your strongpoint? Can't and them. Got it?!

[@neilmartin5178]

How can you say £250 is mid range?

[@MetatronsCube23]

the high range starts at the 600-700$ mark

[@neilmartin5178]

@@MetatronsCube23I guess it's one of those things that can never be categorised. Personally, for example who would put a Daiwa Whisker SS2600 in the low end bracket along with a Daiwa Sweepfire? I think there are 4 categories, Low End (Budget)£30-90, Mid Range £90-160, High End £160-290 and then Comp Spec £290+

[@rickphillips5098]

Diawa bisia are £850 ! ( TOURNAMENT) , at £250 each they are mid range or lower

[@whoshatwat]

If they bought out a new range called mine are 500quid more than yours xs that we’re no better, there’d be plenty of dink’s queuing up for them.

[@emperium6224]

Reels have gone as far as they can go,nothing to see here

[@tutts999]

Lovely reels, and theyre probably and joy to fish with. But unfortunately there abit out of my price range.

[@BarmyTwubble]

Cross cast 45 scw qd , is another absolutely great reel and can be had for under 100 brand new each. Have used both and cannot tell a difference to justify these being over double the price.

[@waynegreen5631]

Sexy reels great video 👍🏻🔥

[@timtrapnell7464]

£280 each so cheep as chips 😂

[@Padrat1]

Daiwa ain’t made a decent reel for the best part of 20 years

[@borderlands6606]

I know a full time angler who swears by his Daiwas. You may be correct but unless you've bought every iteration of Daiwa reels for the last 20 years, it's impossible to know.

[@BF4pawntard]

Whisker is the type of carbon used in the reels
