[@cr4zysha]

What rod was used in the vid?

[@max_liowce]

I think it is a very good reel for beginners to start with bait casting. So as a beginner I seriously don’t think we will go for super light lines and light lures. Most probably play from 5-12g lures and lines. It will definitely help a beginner get started and get acquainted with BC reels. It doesn’t break the wallet and if the angler does not like the reel, he/she can just leave it in a corner to rot 😆

[@facepalmfishing]

Completely agree :) was really pushing it using lures below 5g hahaha

[@mdqadri8991]

I just bought this reel after watching your video. Thanks brother 👍🏽 keep the good videos coming

[@facepalmfishing]

Hope you enjoy using it!

[@nicholas0730]

Am looking into getting my first BC reel. Never tried BC before, a bit scary to want to invest into it. But this review is so solid man, especially with that price tag, a bit hard not to try now hahaha. Keep it up! Wanna see more reviews from you! Thank you so much for this! P.S - love your royal belum video!

[@facepalmfishing]

Sorry for the very late reply but thank you for the kinds words! More reviews coming up too!

The best reel is really smooth, very light, daiwa pr100h

[@SaltigaHarris]

What rod is that?

[@cyka6767]

Why not for toman?

[@AlbertWilsonW]

what ultralight rod for beginners do you recommend to pair with this reel?

[@facepalmfishing]

You could check out the shimano lurematic, majestic XT !

[@davidcloyd1296]

Is this really Daiwa? It’s made in China right? I see it says “Made in China” underneath. Great video.

[@facepalmfishing]

Yes it’s still Daiwa! They have factories from all over the world. The higher tier models will be from japan.

[@maestrodanyca2155]

Some one knows if this reel can cast 2-3 gram lures?

[@davidtneah798]

Nice, I've bot a cmi bc from shopee which costs me $20++sgd. I've tried since I've not tried any bc in my entire fishing life...lol. its so difficult to cast n seriously tried practicing on my own still cmi. Maybe the one u suggested might do the trick to entice me to start trying out bc again...lol. thks for ur reviews, greatly appreciated.

[@facepalmfishing]

Had the same problem in the past too 😓 you get what you pay for! I feel that this reel really outperforms its price and is a usable bc reel for sure :) hope you get back to baitcasting!

[@davidtneah798]

I'll sure try since bait casting looks fun to me...;) and moreover the real is at an affordable price and the review by u is so convincingly good...lol

[@jaimechua5299]

reel looks good!! more review pls

[@facepalmfishing]

Thank you ❤️

[@roborovski008]

what BC reel would you recommend apart from this if i were to fish saltwater? around the same price but maybe topup a bit?

[@facepalmfishing]

May I know what kind of saltwater fishing do you do? Offshore bottom fishing, micro jigging or mangrove fishing

[@roborovski008]

@@facepalmfishing breakwater/mangrove

[@facepalmfishing]

@@roborovski008 would recommend the shimano bass one XT because it is saltwater approved. A big disclaimer would be that I’ve never used that reel😂 but breakwater and mangrove fishing shouldn’t be too taxing unless you’re crank bait fishing for groupers by the breakers (but the reel should still do ok). Most of the time, the durability of the reel also depends on how the angler takes care of it. Rinsing your tackle thoroughly after a saltwater fishing session is extremely important!

[@roborovski008]

@@facepalmfishing looks like kinda deep spool tho. afraid it's not suitable for lure less than 12g

[@yusliyusman8870]

@@roborovski008 dude I'm using bass one xt and I'm loving it,prefer it more than slx,braking system is awesome,cast 7g jig as far as 10m imagine 10g.just my 2 cent though.

Try contacting your local Daiwa retailers!

@@facepalmfishing i found it on shoppee , its really affordable , also the gear ratio is quite nice

[@AsianVideoGamer]

When it comes to baitcasting, the cheaper the reel, the less beginner friendly it is. Do yourself a favor budget a decent amount otherwise you just end up with a paper weight

[@facepalmfishing]

This is true. However, entry level reels are definitely great for beginners who wouldn’t want to overcommit on an overly priced baitcasting reel!

I bought one and broke down after a few casts. I also bought a $89 Eupro made in MY and it sucks too. There on I never trust and buy any reel below $150.
