Your video made me dig mine out of my reel storage and I was in the process of loading some of favorite Daiwa braid on it and was reminded why I put it storage . When adding tension the reel binds up . Too high gear ratio for me . Spooled the braid onto a Legalis instead.

Great video, which I was waiting for. Many people talked about that reel and the price went up a lot. I have several UL/L combo rods and reels. I was thinking about that reel, but it has become very expensive and many people talk about the resistance when winding, which I don't like at all. For now I'm sticking to Legalis and I'm very satisfied! I like the smoothness of the operation much more than the reduced weight. We are waiting for a new video and reviews, thanks :)

Also, can you tell me what scale you use? I have been trying to find a scale that does not need to be calibrated after purchasing and has the sensitivity to weigh lures and bullet weights. Thus far, no luck. Anyway, your videos are entertaining, informative and professional. Keep up the A+ work.

I have seen these for a while, i have their bfs krestel reel. I just havent gotten one yet because i have bitten the poison apple of shimano diawa gearing. I have heard good things of the line lay on this reel though. One thing i will add that may or not be relevent is my krestel is magnesium frame, and the gears vibrations are exasperated to your hand, so it doesnt feel as great. However the spinning is a carbon/polymer frame so i guess that may be irrelevent. You will have to tell us how it fishes against the flagships and if its worth just dumping double the cash in for a soare or vanford KK dumps tractor grease in their reels, it will get worse in winter also friend 😆 (also sometimes when i regrease reels for less resistance the gears vibrations become more apparent

@@RonMTube The reel is hard to brush off, if weight is important for you. And sometimes weight is important. It definitely isn't on the same level as legalis or sahara in terms of refinement, but the sahara is 70 grams heavier. I don't care how cheap your rod is, everybody will notice a 70 gram difference.. It may be worth to some people to tolerate the higher resistance and slightly less refined feel.

Interesting video. I have one on order from Aliexpress. I was intrigued by the ultralight weight as well. For the current price, I figured it was worth a try. I already have the Zephyr SFS which is a okay reel but not great. The zephyr has a cheap feel to it - like a cheap hollow graphite frame reel. In this budget price range, I think the Piscifun carbon X II is a better reel. But the drag on the carbon X sounds very high pitched and irritating. The bail flip on the Zephyr is also very heavy. That is one of the most annoying things about the reel. It seems the Kestrel has the same issue. I'm glad they changed the handle knob on the kestrel. I hate the bulky foam knobs on these cheaper Chinese reels. I put daiwa knobs on all of my Piscifun carbon x reels. I put a basszone rubber knob on my Zephyr. Like you I'm going to try the Kestrel on a presso rod for float fishing. I have the Zephyr on an older Daiwa spinmatic rod that i use to float fish in creeks and rivers for trout.

I will have to say, I was kind of disappointed at my Kestrel SFS reel. Out of the box it has a scratchy sound that has not gone away. I tried oiling it but the sound is still there. Also it doesn't seem as smooth as the cheaper Zephyr SFS. Hopefully it'll get better with more usage. I'm still somewhat bothered by the high resistance of opening and closing the bail. The resistance makes it feel like a much bigger bail. Maybe something from a 3000 size reel.

This reel looks like the kodiak. I wonder if they just made the kodiak smaller and call it kastral

Believe me Ifish you've sold some of these reels by this vieo alone I wouldnt think any less if you did accept commission...In fact i think you raised the price/and supply of the new legalis lt 1000,2000sp online. had to use Digitaka Amazon/ebay had it for $100+ after your reviews.

I DID SEE THAT about Legalis LT, and it was JUST for the models i recommended! Daiwa hasn't even sent me a free hat, lol : ) I'm kidding, i don't want any commission from anybody, not even from Daiwa. I declined getting commissions on Varivas lines even though i use and inadvertently promote them all the time. I have a feeling these commissions are like 20 dollars a month, and i don't want to have obligations to any body for 20 dollars a month.

I feel similarly about my Daiwa Regal. The spool matches up nice with the Presso but the rest is just plain UGLY!

ACTUALLY, the LIVE videos are a talk show. U come out of nowhere with the negative comments. Go check my other LIVE videos and tell me which one is shorter or better! They are all 30 minutes and pretty much just babbling. Also.. this channel is created to give me opportunity to vent my feelings, and accidentally grew up to here. It was never created to appeal to you. If i had a way to block you from watching my videos, i would do that. But youtube allows me just to block you from writing comments, which i don't like because then i appear to be the loser and i don't do that even with people like you. I just wish there was a way to block u from ever watching another one of my videos.

Sounds like I hit a nerve…not my intent. I actually enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and don’t let comments upset you so much. Take them for what their worth… people are venting just like you say you are when you’re making your videos. I didn’t mean any disrespect to you. Thanks.

A wasted opportunity lol, waste 10 min in the beginning, 50 percent of the video babbling about the color (which is subjective to everyone anyway). The main reason people are tuning in because they want to know how it feels, respond etc. Everyone already knows what it looks. Dont get me wrong, I really enjoy and learn a lot from your video, but this one? I need to speed up the video 1.5 times just to finish it.

Well it's his channel and he got the reel to review. Would you rather someone lie about it to make you happy? That's the problem nowadays, everyone needs everything sugar coated so you don't get hurt feelings. Added, who are you to be judge jury and executioner to say he's wrong for his opinion?
