[@PIYOSKAMANFISHING]

Got all series of that rapid...all were soaked on salt water..one was even dragged towards the water...not even a rust was seen...still have them working...still my favorite reel until now..

[@fishyaker]

Nice!!!

[@envertiryaki6600]

Was considering a SeaKnight reel from Aliexpress. Thanks for the video.

[@fishyaker]

Thanks Enver!

[@marcoramirez120]

good stuff man

[@PIYOSKAMANFISHING]

Used the 4000 for popping a 65 grams plug caught a 7kg gaint herring on it...clutch is still tight until now...used the 6000 against trevallies and a 10+kg raging cuda and stopped them at full drag...

[@fishyaker]

Cool!

[@christianpreciado7811]

I’ve been looking around for a saltwater reel and the sea knight caught my eye, looked around for a review and yours was one of the better ones! Thanks for the great vid

[@rustyshackleford886]

I have a sea knight rapid II 4000 and 6000, been fishing them hard for 2 years. Mine have held up to Bull reds, Sheepshead, and black drum. They are really good value reels. Mine are loaded up with 30# and 50# braid. You will need to wash and take care of your equipment. Each are on a Berkeley big game rod, medium and a medium heavy. They make great budget rigs. You don't have to spend a fortune just to get good gear to get out and have some fun.

Great video thanks

[@fishyaker]

Thanks!

[@506fishing8]

I would be great to see how it looks inside. All the pinions and stuff, to make sure it's good quality inside too.

[@fishyaker]

Agreed! I'll see what I can do! :-)

[@506fishing8]

@@fishyaker I am really interested on that spinning reel, it would be great if you can take it apart after a few fishing trips. I live in Costa Rica and we fish a lot on saltwater, I also have a kayak. Do you think that reel it's gonna be a good option for kayak fishing in the ocean?

[@GurkenCommander]

Any Updates on the SeaKnight axe?

[@Heyyou0588]

Where can I get a replacement coil for the HX5000?

[@fishyaker]

I’m not sure if replacement parts are available

[@grandwonder5858]

Awesome review Toast! You know, I bought 6 reels from 2 different manufacturers and 5 exact same rods all of which are made in China this last two weeks and I swear they are actually better quality than the $150 rods and reels I used to buy at Bass Pro Shops and Tackle Warehouse! Both of the reels feel like better reels than the reels that are being sold at the $200 range by American manufacturers! And I haven’t seen a better ultralight rod at any price point than the ones I just bought two weeks ago! I like that rod so much I ended up buying 5 of them after initially only buying just one! The reels cost me about $15.57 each after Aliexpress gave me about 16% discount on the reels for new user discount and some kind of holiday discount. The rod is an H2O Xpress line of fishing products sold exclusively by Academy Sports and Outdoors, an American retail store specializing in sportswear, athletic goods, and fishing and hunting goods. I will list the rod and reels I am talking about if anyone is interested in checking them out him/herself.

[@fishyaker]

Thanks!!!You really can find some awesome deals, if you look. A lot of the name brand manufacturers have their gear made overseas anyway.

[@Ihiggins]

Don’t trust these guys, you get what you pay for especially when it comes from China, they look nice and the price is cheap, these type of reviewers rely on freebies to review.

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Nice reel what is the price thanks

[@fishyaker]

Thanks! They retail right around $40.

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Really nice reel at that price thanks merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄

[@maxneuchrist5184]

How much line can you retrieve with one full crank rotation? Good Video!!

[@fishyaker]

Thanks! I'll check...

[@fishyaker]

I can't actually find the retrieval rate. :-(

[@maxneuchrist5184]

@@fishyaker in case you are out on the water with this real you could test it;)

[@randymanx2674]

Excellent video. It's been a couple months, how does it work in the field ? Still feel good?

[@fishyaker]

They hold up surprisingly well. :-)

[@ironmaiden1236541]

Good question, they all are fine when new. The true test is after a couple of dozen uses and beyond

[@DJ_PROMO_PR]

Nice video. Do you think this reel in a 4000 size will go with a 7 foot rod?

[@c1aran_s197]

how big of a fish could the size 5000 take. 40 pound carp?

[@eddyramirez1663]

Good reel but I think they should do another one but with a bait runner

[@fishyaker]

That would be nice to have in their lineup!

[@romyelcolo]

Its would be nice make more review for saltwater...lures,rods,etc...i have seen some videos of you fishing in florida cost.

[@fishyaker]

Sure thing, Alejandro! Thanks!

[@romyelcolo]

[@fishyaker]

Yep, the Nature Coast, near Tampa. ;-)

Hello sir i need seakhight rapid saltwater fishing reel 6000 drag knob any one have spare ?

[@fishyaker]

Unfortunately, I’m not sure it individual parts are available.

[@chrismartinez-qe8wj]

Is this reel any good like does it last a decent amount of time or is it a waste of money

[@fishyaker]

I have friends who have totally put then through their paces and they stayed working really well. 👍

[@506fishing8]

Seanight it's a really good brand. Nevertheless, I would be great if the handle screw in. Because with the time, that kind of handle start getting loose.

[@fishyaker]

Agreed!

[@DogFishAttack]

Do you thing that can i use this reel for light shore jigging with 40gr jigs?

[@balajisaravanan742]

Gonna try 4000H with my Uglystick big water

[@fishyaker]

Let us know what you think of it. 👍

Loving the BYU hat

[@fishyaker]

Thanks David!!!

[@alex111683]

Seaknight actually makes some of the worst chineseum reels, they're right down there with RUNCL. To say that this is a saltwater reel and only $35ish bucks? Nah. I appreciate the showcase though thank you. I don't call it a review because whenever it's affiliated it's always extremely biased. Show us the internals, that will really show the quality. The only real info that was useful was hearing the drag, it sounds very cheap. So it's just more of a showcase. You want and extremely good saltwater reel for the price, Daiwa BG.

[@fishyaker]

👍

[@jesunlopez2873]

Not good reel based on my test compare to kastking,shimano and pioneer reels if you are fighting with big fish.

[@vannkeldinrayledesma8611]

Nice video men....i also use seaknight now because of you...hahaha.....check out the newest reel of seaknight the seaknight naga II....check it out men...maybe you'l be interested in it.

[@fishyaker]

Cool!!!! 😊😊😊

[@Mysterygamer]

How can you really review a fishing reel when you have not actually used it for its designed purpose i.e actually fishing with it lol.
