Daiwa's Exist | NEW BEST FULL WATER TEST

[@ByronTeaHill]

Here’s to that blade of grass dangling on the garage door! Stole the show…🤣 Draw will be in a week and winning comment will be compared with members of the channel, good luck!

[@Gtanti2012]

I was wondering what that was haha

[@watchman316ly]

Being a trout addict- I bought the LT2000SP model. This reel definitely is a step up from the the 2018. I've used the 2018 for 2-1/2 yrs. and have loved the smoothness of it but this 2022 has improved the reel in every way. The smoothness of the drag- its loud clicking sound, the balance on the rotor (absolutely no wobbling), the smaller bail wire(finally!!!) and line roller, and most of all- the sexy and million dollar look! I've caught numerous trout on it- 12" - 19" and it handles it so smooth. I've caught bass, walleye, and even smaller stripers on it. It is an awesome reel!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey mate that’s for sharing your thoughts. Remember you need to be a channel member to enter. Tight lines dude!

[@jeanenamoncada1494]

The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

[@DrJanLindberg]

Nothing beats the Daiwa 22 Exist. I use the 2500, 3000 and 5000. Simply perfection! Just received the 2000 as well.

[@DrJanLindberg]

I also have a 2000 size on order

[@dariusobrien7431]

Great review I just lost all my setups cause my tinny got capsized this would definitely help lift me off my feet, I would probably buy a Infeet rod to pair with it to

[@ByronTeaHill]

Ahh dude that sucks to hear. Draw will be in a week and winning comment will be compared with members of the channel, good luck Darius hopefully you get your hands on a reel.

[@fishingsauce]

I owned an Exist 2500 for little more than a month now and absolutely love it! Especially rotor design. Some people hates it, I love it. Indeed I hate Stella design and that's personal taste. I hooked up 60cm Travelly and drag worked just beautifully on 8lb line.

[@dherman0001]

Does it have a gps locator and sonar emitter with emergency flotation if you drop it in the sea?

[@daleturner1385]

I would love to pair this with my new millerods xflc that I'm getting this week for my birthday. Can't wait to get into some bream this easter

[@drdeankos2356]

what sizes are they making and most importantly what is the new drag per reel you did not discuss As a big game angler using top end reels would like to experience the best new version you have discussed using DAIWA as they are expensive but are far better than stella reels are they making big sizes eg BG range 8000 and above to dog fight reels ?

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey mate, the new drag is ATD Type L. If you weren’t happy with what I went to effort to put together, there is information available on the daiwa website. I guess you can’t please everyone! Tight lines legebd

[@elvisthumper1279]

I work at one of the best tackle stores in Sydney. It’s a tribute to you that I learnt more from this video than I did from Daiwa themselves. For example- I didn’t know about the lip - I thought it was aesthetic, and considered the overall styling to be a ‘retro’ look - like a 1950’s Chrysler. 10/10 would watch again (already have). I’ve excluded myself from several of your giveaways- but not this one. I’d pair it with a GLoomis dsr820 and use it for bream /bass/ EP’s/larger trout. Am looking forward to the Exist vs Stella video , the Stella’s line lay blew me away, keen to see if it makes a difference after use.

[@ByronTeaHill]

[@daveregan845]

Another expert and honest review of the 2022 Exist reel Byron, thanks👍. I have watched all of your reviews on mid to high end reels from the Shimano (Sustain, Nasci and Vanford) and Daiwa (Saltist and Revelry). Owing to these I recently upgraded my estuary reel to a Shimano Stradic 2500. The difference between this and my Sedona 2000 reel (was ny davourite reel) is real (pardon the pun). I can only imagine what the Daiwa's Flagship Exist reel has over the Stradic. Focusing on the basics of a reel and its operation seems to be what Daiwa do best. If I was to win it I would match it up with an Atomic Arrowz 1-4kg rod and take it out on my Hobie Outback and target yellow belly in my local dam.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Awesome Dave! Thanks for sharing your thoughts legend. Always keen to hear peoples points of view on things. You’re right. Flagship = all the features

Great video as always. I have learnt a lot from watching your lure reviews and how to use them as i just got into lure fishing for light salt water games just a few months ago. Been buying every single lures which are covered in this channel. I particularly enjoy top water lures fishing for bream. Because it's so exciting to watch the fish comes up to take on the lure. I've been spending quite a bit into this new hobby and just bought a miller rod blade freak 2 weeks ago. The exist would be the end game reel to pair with that rod replacing my current daiwa bg 2500. Keep up the great works.

Another great informative review Byron, & it would be a fantastic prize to win. I would match it up with one of my Daiwa rods & use it to catch mainly bream, but would also use it for flathead, whiting & the odd Bass.

Thanks Peter, mate great to see you back legend. Make sure your entry is a valid one and you’ll be in the running for the exist until a week bud. Again thanks for the comment and the support bro

Stella v Exist. What a battle! Great review.

[@ByronTeaHill]

🤙🤙

[@rolandmclean6377]

What a beautiful reel! I'd pair this with my grubfreak LT I got the other week for chasing bream! Or maybe even a new twitchfreak to suit a brand new reel for some spike44's on structure! Too many options haha. I want to get into Kayak competitions so this would be an amazing reel to have a crack with! Big love from SEQ, you haven't led me astray with gear yet. Thank you for doing the draw!

My pleasure Roland, you’ve been supporting the channel for a little while so I am stoked to be able to give something back bud. Thanks for the comment entered bud!

[@rolandmclean6377]

@@ByronTeaHill no problems at all mate! So hard to find unbiased information, and only just getting into fishing about a year and a bit ago, I made a lot of poorly informed purchases before I found your channel. Excited to hopefully meet you in a comp one day to he honest! Thanks again mate

[@liamcourt8536]

I would love to win the Exist to use for bream, flathead and whiting here in SEQ. Such a versatile reel

[@ByronTeaHill]

Nice Liam

Amazing content as always! Controversial opinion: I like my reels blingy and the monochrome doesn’t blow me away…but feature wise it’s undeniably amazing. Unrelated but are we going to get a budget (maybe even budget pedal) kayak review anytime soon? Thanks for all the effort you put in to these videos and can’t wait for more!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Not controversial at all. Personal preference is important, thanks for sharing. Didn’t have anything planned, what model are you thinking?

[@gelb2540]

No pressure at all! I’m just looking to buy a kayak but don’t have the funds for a hobie and don’t wanna sink any money into something that will just sit in the garage because it’s uncomfortable, too unstable, poorly made etc. Kayaks2fish seem like a budget friendly kayak but I fear they’re too budget friendly… Then I haven’t really found many middle of the road options that still have good features. I’m tempted by the k2f pedal kayaks but haven’t seen many solid reviews so I’m skeptical. But of course I understand if that’s not your thing.

@@gelb2540 flick me a message on socials, if you want a review, there’s every chance other people do to. Let’s figure this out

[@60watergr]

lovely review of a great reel! thanks for the effort Byron! could clearly see some use at european seabass near our river deltas :)

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey legend! Great to see you back buddy

[@60watergr]

@@ByronTeaHill hehe life is tough sometimes but im back ;)

[@Shawn_Lai]

Great review. I'm stateside but I've had my eye on this exist. It's crazy. Want to definitely see the exist and stella since they wanted to drop both in 2022. I would use the reel for smallmouth on Lake Michigan. Need a smooth and strong drag fighting those fish.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Awesome Shawn! Thanks very much for the support from across the seas. Good luck with the giveaway, very excited to continue to produce content for yoy

[@FishOnTarget]

Fantastic reel review. I'm sold!

[@sm0ky730]

Always wanted one, but super expensive, don’t know if I should use it or park it in the garage, but gotta use it like Tesla not a Ferrari lol

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hahaha definitely

[@jacobparker8041]

That would be such an awesome reel looking forwards to seeing it in the long run

[@captainrylenaviation29]

Great review

[@ByronTeaHill]

👍

[@Mullerman]

I would love the 22 exist. I would pair it up with my millerod twitchfreak and fish the sand flats with it. Coming into the colder months now so probably subsurface lures but I would love being able to use it.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Mate you would not be disappointed with one hey! Entered man and great to see you again bud.

[@Mullerman]

@@ByronTeaHill how would you compare the 2022 Exist to the 2018?

[@HarryDK]

Great review. I have not much experience with Daiwa reel, but I would love to pair it up with my 10lb Hamachi Hurricane on Kayak for Bream or Flatties with plastic

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Harry, Tight lines

[@martinguan922]

Tempted to pair one with a Zenaq Sonio 100m. Thanks for the review.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Cool Martin! Make sure you enter legend
