[@awesomjsmooth33]

Question is it saltwater safe ?

[@THEREELTEST]

@@awesomjsmooth33 best to ask Dankung Fishing.

[@THEREELTEST]

@@awesomjsmooth33 yes I was told its saltwater safe, just rinse afterwards and the brakes are IP168 waterproof rating?

I was checking this channel every day since this reel was unboxed 😅 I kept telling myself I don't need this reel but this video just seals the deal 😂

[@victorluciano4118]

Bcoz of this channel ive bought many tackles 😂 i dont even need them but i buy them 😂

[@makiredulla]

@victorluciano4118 just incase right? 😂

[@tiny_timkasska6108]

I tested the non-smart version off that reel yesterday (125 EUR on Ali Sale) and i have to say it is the best CDM reel so far (new level). DC Mode breaks much more than every Shimano DC System and professional mode is awesome. Casts 6g craw over 32m on ML Rod. 10g over 40m (lure with not much wind resistance). It will easily out perform my Curado BFS. I will test on a lighter rod on weekend and compare to an Alphas Air TW. For casting I used Seaguar R18 0.6 PE as main line. Regards from Germany.

[@mattcampbell3876]

You should look into the Slx dc Xt.. lots of letters but everyone is worth it.

[@6lidewell]

I lost a Zenon LTX overboard and never had much time using it. Instead of replacing that expensive korean reel I bought the Silver Feather. I'm much more impressed with it! I cant figure out how to get the app but I've watched your videos on the Loongze using the button interface and that's been enough to get me going. Love the size - its at risk of being too small - and love the build quality. Much happier with it than the Zenon.

[@THEREELTEST]

yeah, the Zenon LTX has been quite a disappointment as a reel that is supposed to compete with the Aldebaran BFS. I hope you didnt buy it from Tackle Warehouse and pay $600!

[@6lidewell]

@@THEREELTEST I've had good luck buying "elite" stuff from yahoo auctions. It was $200 and not a scratch on it but even that is overpriced compared to a Revo SX Rocket with an AMO spool upgrade. I only wish I got the enjoyment of throwing it overboard to end my disappointment.

[@krzysztofjonczyk9084]

It couldn't be better, scripture vers plus reel test 😍🙏 God bless you bro!! Waiting for nex one.

[@NotQuiteAsianOG]

Did you oil up any of the components or did you throw that stock out of the box?

[@dansworld9635]

How does one use the "spinning" charger for the Silver Feather DC reel?

[@THEREELTEST]

unscrew the charger cap. remove the sideplate. put the extension inside the brake unit and press the button on the charger. If you can turn the brakes on while you do this, the button will light up all different colors

[@Dbl_OG_13]

@THEREELTEST Have you ever used the DMK Purelure Silver Feather MIIEC EXA? Same brakes as this just no app. I'd love you see you do a cast test on that. I'm getting unbelievable distances on this thing

[@Larseyful]

Have you tried to play with the braking profile settings on the app? it seems it is possible to tune the start, middle and end braking independant to eachother... So you could make custom profiles for different type of lures!

[@THEREELTEST]

Im going to wait until the English Version comes out. There are way more settings than you realize

[@streetsofuptown]

How would you rank against Shimano Metanium DC2024 and Conquest

[@pyrobob208]

I just bought a Seasir Mansory baitcaster after watching your videos. Do ceramic and hybrid ceramic bearings need oiling?

[@lelikold7355]

Jenerally don't. Unless you want to reduce the noise they generate and extend lifetime a bit. If you still want to use oil, then use something extreamly light, simething like "Ricker oil" from Abu.

[@pyrobob208]

@@lelikold7355 thanks mate

[@lelikold7355]

@@pyrobob208 welcome. Sorry, it's not my native language, i did mistake, has to be "Rocket oil"

[@THEREELTEST]

they say no, but if you do want to ad some oil to quiet them down, I suggest some ZPI Fzero or Hedgehog Studios Alchemy Oil.

[@gameon2081]

Reels to me are tools to catch fish and not to be playing with my phone and reel in the water. No offense to those who prioritize that. I rather stay with the simplicity of Shimano DC and concentrate in catching fish. Anyway good vid and content like always.

[@cowkl.mr2]

shimano for life 🫡

[@vin18m]

Yep, "reel disconnected from the app" is not a problem I'm even remotely interested in. Tech for tech sake if you ask me.

[@makiredulla]

As mentioned by the video this reel isn't for everyone it's more for enthusiasts who likes to tinker with the reel.. your argument is same as using spinning reel vs baitcasters. Spinning reels are already versatile and simple while the baitcaster is more complex and tinkery. People would choose this reel because they're tech savvy fishermen who love to tinker with their reel or people who waited for a dc bfs reel.

[@makiredulla]

Reasoning for me is a bit dumb I love this reel because of its dc zing and that it can cast light lures that's all ..he'll I don't even care if I can catch any fish as long as I hear that zing while casting and relaxing at the shoreline or at the river 😅

[@vin18m]

@@makiredulla Enthusiasts are into fishing, not tackle. As for the spinning v baitcast argument, I use a baitcaster for 95% of my fishing. However, I don't see the point in using them to cast into open water for distance. The key benefit of a baitcaster is accuracy when casting at snags, and the ability to control trajectory and slow down a lure before it hits the bank/snag, not because they are for people that like to tinker.

[@awilderireland]

Fishing... A simple contemplative pastime. 😊 To each their own.

[@makiredulla]

The things I want to know about this reel is how's the salt proofing on this reel? And how light of a lure can it cast? Can it be submerged it saltwater? Of yes on all I'll pull the trigger on this reel

[@THEREELTEST]

might want to contact Dankung Fishing about the saltwater resistance. As for light lures? The spool is small but still heavy so we will have to see

[@FocusAndEnjoyCreekFishing]

Very nice video of cast testing, a headsup is, App is a plus for more fun. In fishing, Mode switch, brake setting, tuning etc, can be done by pressing the side button without using app

[@yelims4284]

How is it holding up after 3 months ?

[@steveking8548]

Is there an English version of the instructions yet?

[@noir52]

Anyone has a direct link to the app ? Ive been googling and. Hecking youtube vidz but no links, just mentions.

[@THEREELTEST]

no you have to download wechat and dankung will send the applet

[@makiredulla]

It's in the wechat app, it's a chat app but it has mini programs search for LOONG DC OTA .

[@yelims4284]

I have wechat and I scanned qr code and nothing??

[@yelims4284]

Can you make a tutorial??

[@Hazelnut_surprise]

So presumably it will be possible to talk to the reel using Siri to change settings ….. that’s going to be fun … great review .. thanks .

[@THEREELTEST]

I dont know, I use Android lol

[@CrazyCranker]

Hmm...is this the same reel as the KastKing IReel2? If not, it would be a cool head to head video. :)

[@THEREELTEST]

I dont think its the same reel, maybe the same brakes, but definitely both made by DMK

[@nevillebrianmcmaster5918]

Hi mate I just got my reel today Will the app be in English in September I know I am taking a Big step because I’m a new but want to master this any advice for me anything you could think of Line type Line thickness Our Father is Great Great videos (All)

[@walden6272]

So I guess the Chinese are catching up on reel quality and technology. Impressive.

[@L0st-n0found]

5 maybe 6 ounces... Good to know it has the brakes for that 😊

[@antoniocalo4213]

Great reel and nice video! Excuse me, Is it powered by an internal battery or not ??? Thank you

[@THEREELTEST]

yes, it recharges itself on every cast like Shimanos DC

[@antoniocalo4213]

@@THEREELTEST thank you! 🤗

[@L0st-n0found]

So is this the (maker and same thing as) the kastking ireel

[@THEREELTEST]

kastking and some others

[@alecpirochta6673]

Do you still have the old SHIMANO exsense reel?

[@THEREELTEST]

Yes I have the original Exsence DC

[@L0st-n0found]

The overhead vs side arm brake 3 - you're doing much harder overhead perhaps similar arm and wrist control would yield same result

[@oscaraldaiz9628]

I have broken off some Mega Bass baits just like that. It really sucks.

[@DWJL511]

I thot we fish to get away from screen time.

[@justinramage9204]

I was going to say 5-6 oz on an ultra light!?!? lol

[@kongchan916]

Omg here we go again lol. Looks like more spending lol.

[@hidayatrashid1100]

5:24 for first cast 😃

[@LintangAlfariz]

Silver creek?

[@ctgilcrest]

Shimano JDM Scorpion is low profile DC brake system.

[@THEREELTEST]

it sure is

[@918trim]

I expected you to try to snag that $15 lure you lost. I would have watched that for at least an hour.

[@strawhatz2689]

Let’s go… 😊

[@Nedofaust]

Pleaase turn on subtitles in other languages

[@THEREELTEST]

Ill see if I can figure out how to do that

[@pnw_element9822]

Hard pass on this reel I ain’t got time to hold my phone and Rod 😂I’m fishing my phone is to take pics only

[@blind_eye_fishing]

Ummm think in the beginning I caught I mistake lol that's a small lure for a 5oz lure 😂 I think you meant grams maybe 😂

[@THEREELTEST]

of course

[@blind_eye_fishing]

@@THEREELTEST I would like to see a bfs setup trying to throw a 5 oz lure that would be a crazy disaster 😂😂.

[@chiyang3749]

you confused grams with ounces.

[@THEREELTEST]

I mis spoke

[@stripersniper1531]

Kinda neat I guess but not for me.Fiddleing with a phone is not my idea of fishing. why not just have a easy to read dial ? Oh well that’s for the review

[@THEREELTEST]

I think they will eventually come to that

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

Its a rod! Of coarse it needs a male sound! Anything else is just mentally ill!

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

Most useless reel and app ever. I get it though.

[@walden6272]

It's just an advancement in technology. Imagine next time you go fishing, your reel will tell you if a fish is nearby and tell you how far it is below or to the left or right of your lure. So your reel can now be a fish finder.

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

@walden6272 that won't ever be possible unless the lure itself is a transmitter and can transmit through water. A much better alternative would to be able to send text, calls, watch tv/ Internet on the reel. Kinda like a smart watch.
