Is this the best carp set-up money can buy?| Daiwa Basia Rods and Reels

[@garybaker5397]

Having used Free Spirit and Harrison rods which just perfect, I would have to say they beat Daiwa by a country mile. And, though I personally haven’t used them, Century rods I am led to believe are fantastic too. I have used numerous Daiwa and Shimano reels over the years and Shimano hands down the better option.

@@garybaker5397 100% pal but you will all ways get the tackle tarts 🤣🤣👍👍

[@garybaker5397]

@@ThePaultandy I was a tackle tart in the early to mid 80s with Tricast rods, ABU Cardinal 55 reels and the first Delkim conversions! God how I wish I could fish in that time again, but with some of the modern items such as distance sticks, braid, spomb, sharp hooks, DNA S7 bait amd a slip D rig!

[@unforgiven82]

But I have heard that if you use pallatrax tackle on those rods and reels you catch the lake record every time. But keep it quiet Simon doesn't want his secret getting out!!!😂

[@Sean-ig6wf]

Don't mention that guy. We'll be getting another 5 videos of him sat at that table lol

[@ThePaultandy]

Shimano big pits and sum free spirit rods will out do them in every way

[@SPS_survivor]

Great setup mate. I have similar, with shimano mags and free spirit Hi’S rods and wouldn’t change them. I love them. To say that they would out fish them is a bit silly as you’ve probably never tried them and they are the crème de la crème. To all the people slating these, would you not have and use them if you were given a set? Of course you would. Very much like cars if you think about it - you can go on 1000 mile trip to Europe in a Ford escort, but it’d be a hell of a lot more enjoyable in a Bentley continental. Each to their own.

[@AndrewCowell-sz9dx]

Big pits are nowhere near as good as basias reels 😊

[@ThePaultandy]

@@AndrewCowell-sz9dx shimano mags are they are the best

Only Shimano Ultegra 14000 XTB and 12000 Aero Technium XTB rods Shimano Tribal Ultra A and TX9😎 for rest of my life ❤

[@WA.angler]

On most fisheries nowadays you see lads just stood there looking at their tackle. Clueless never cast a rod in there life but just paid 8 grand for a setup 😂😂

[@ITFC_Mark]

I can cast huge distances with cheap rods. In what direction it goes, is down to the Gods

[@Andy-nl3zw]

Its nice to use nice kit a ford does the same job as a Ferrari. If you want to spend your money on it crack on. I have cheap kit as i don't go very often and im not very good but i still enjoy it. U do u!

Great comment.

[@AJFOOTBALL121]

My mate snapped his basia Spod rod first time using it

[@Fishingwithjones]

Not watched this video yet but I’m guessing “you love them” 😅😂

[@FishermanTam]

in my opinion as much as I love high end nice looking tackle lord knows I do but in all honesty I feel there's no need to have to spend so much on a fishing setup let alone charge that much there are rods out there that cost a fraction that to just as good. I really feel like carp fishing has become more about the price than anything else charging 950 for a reel or 900 for a bivvy prices on simple packs of hooks are close to 10 pounds for a pack of ten i feel like its going to more of a "Whos got the better setup kinda thing" and people spending money on something they couldve got far cheaper and does just as good .

[@СтоянСтанчее]

In Bulgaria we have people who take loans to buy overpriced carp tackle shit,to look good in the bank.

[@oldgreg1]

Ive done a couple casting days and american tackle atrex rods, centurys, free spirits and even some of the cheaper shimano rods are nicer to use than the daiwa rods i have had a flex with.

[@shed6624]

100% agree have used Daiwa rods and reels all my life and these in my opinion are the best. Do they catch more fish no are they the dogs to use yes. It’s all relative if you have the dollar then why not if you don’t no worries. You only come round the track once so fair play. Three rods three reels about the same as taking the Mrs on a cruise that’s up to you. You get the Shim and spirit Daiwa haters but have they used these perhaps not. They are perhaps happy with their set ups which is fair enough but tech moves on.

[@eddy_lee_9115]

I love daiwa products but I think I'd be scared to have a session on any lake with rod and reel set up for almost 5k

[@shed6624]

@@eddy_lee_9115 good comment understand that.

[@chrissutton5387]

Personally, I would go for Shimano Aero Technium MGS XTD Reel myself, money being no object.

You can use the dearest on the market butbim using NGT 6ft Dynamic Rod n Reels, ive reached 40 (6ft) wraps with the 3lb test curve rods, landed Fishbto nearly 40lb.

[@harrison9281]

Cracking! I'm using basic Sonik rod and reels that's £200 for 3x of each and catching sturgeon to 50lb with no issues.

[@unforgiven82]

80 yards with 6ft rods is a fair chuck mate

[@paulhigham6047]

@unforgiven82 using them in the right way with the right gear, anything possible....12lb Sonik Subsonik Camo, 3oz Lead, and it's more of a Punch than a cast....I've not been fishing for over 12months now, so would take a few casts to get used again.

[@paulhigham6047]

@@harrison9281 Soniknare an Aswome Brand 👍🎣

[@unforgiven82]

I wasn't saying I didn't believe you mate. I was saying well done casting 80 yards. I have seen lads with 13ft rods that can't cast 50 yards. It's the person behind the rod that makes the difference not the tackle

[@alexjordan1217]

As a commercial rod builder ... those guides cost pence and are totally inadequate ... Fuji Torzite T2 reverse frames @ ~£110 per large guide puts it in perspective! Century and Harrison blanks miles ahead ...

[@DannyFR30]

Over priced. Why? Because they sell you a reel for 800, and then have to "fix" the issues. So you're stuck with a reel that you have problems with that cost you 800, or you buy the new "improved" one for another was of cash. I feel more comfortable middle market prices. That way if i have to take a loss on idk.....distance, im ok with it. If it cost me 800 and the issue was the same....im going to feel niffed.

[@Zee_Bul]

The best... Best of what? Casting distances? (really doubt that). Casting precision? (well, maybe) Innovation, technology, materials, fit & finish? (at that price, they better be. But I can think about at least two or three other rod producers - and one of them not from UK or Japan - who can argue with that) . C'mon, guys, you need to go deeper than just reading a spec sheet or some official product description.

[@jasoncarty2175]

Your avarage angler just isn't going to upgrade a few times through the years and end up with kit at this cost!!!..a set of those is ridiculous money,be real!

[@SPS_survivor]

These rods and rules are not for an average angler. If people buy them, good luck … they’re beautiful

[@eddy_lee_9115]

Checked the price and 880£ per rod and 840£ per reel... ouch

[@MrRodigan]

Nah free spirit

[@davidfisher7541]

You still catch the same as a cheap set depending on ya spots

[@warrendunn8569]

I would expect more than a lump of wood for a handle if I was paying those prices.

[@leevermiglio8701]

Do you not think you have to be at a certain level in your angling ability to feel the difference between a £300 reel and a £800 reel, I’ve only just got myself tournies and think there bloody great reels, I would buy them if I could afford them (I can’t) but would they be wasted on a average angler. Saying that I’d love a go and take my hat off to anyone who can afford them. Good job boys

[@awilderireland]

Cheap tat for wannabees! I use 24k gold reels. My custom rods have diamond lined guides and reel seats.

[@ИлияДимитров-е6ч]

NO,NO at all!!👎

[@biffjkd5611]

I must run out quickly and buy some. They are sure to catch me more fish. I have noticed that the carp on the lake I fish roll to just check out what kit I use 🙄

[@carpologytv]

Exactly why we said in the video that they won't catch you any more fish, but they'll allow you to enjoy the process far more :)
