Shimano Speedmaster 2 follow up review. How has the reel performed for the last sixteen months?
Tackle review for the new Shimano Speedmaster 16 2 speed reel. This is the new generation Speedmaster which I feel Shimano made as a cost effective Talica. With 42 inches per crank and 40 pounds of drag this reel is a workhorse for it's size. Paired up with a Star Paraflex rod this combo should be a beast hoisting big fish off the bottom, and catching up to fast pelagic's on the surface.

[@SFROutdoors]

Well done video, would be cool to see you doing vids like these more often about breaking down gear, rigs, knowledge, tides, moon phases, locations to fish etc

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks!! I will be. I was even thinking about doing a monthly live Q and A.

[@SFROutdoors]

Hey Wayne Cool Bob Marley wall art 16 months still looks great I've lost some nice catches to Sharks Nice update review

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks Dan. I was checking out your channel the other day!!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Let me know if you bought this reel after my first review and how you like it? Tight lines

[@nelson442]

would you use the 16 for small sharks? surffishing ?

[@nelson442]

or peir/jetty.?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

@@nelson442 You could but I prefer spinning gear for the surf.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

@@nelson442 Definitely

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

@@nelson442 Pier/Jetty definitely

[@kohenshlom]

cant go wrong with shimano thanks for the good info

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks Shlomi

[@HighcountryFlylife]

top review here buddy, the reel looks like its doing a pretty good job and well worth the value for money, I've heard nothing but positive feed back on this brand and particularly this model. $260 is well worth the buy in my opinion brother, tight lines...

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Hard to find a great reel in that price range. Thanks for the feedback!!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

That’s a pretty reel! Nice review Wayne. Is there any preventative measure that can be taken to avoid that bubbling? Like a coat of clear coat when it’s fresh out of the box?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Comment below mentioned some type of anti corrosion spray. I’m going to look into it.

[@RayEveryday]

Good review will have to check out

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks Ray

[@JohnAmes]

Great job buddy well done my friend 👍

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks John

[@Camh1968]

Hi. You mentioned that you never use both gears on the Speedmaster. Can you advise which single gear option you use (low or high speed)? Thank you. Cameron

[@AJOutdoors1]

I hope to be reeling some in on that reel next week!! 😄

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

You will be 😁

[@hookednrolling2009]

Good review Wayne I would get a tiny piece of sandpaper and sand it down and try and find silver or gray paint and use a match from a book of matches and touch it up that way you nip it in the bud JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻it will stay looking sweet n nice which reflects on you as owner of them

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks JT I will try that. I guess it will just grow if I don’t.

[@hookednrolling2009]

@@CProFishingWithWayne yeah Wayne that not my 42 yr old penn senator 4/0 with all the pits in the trim rings With all the lines I had out on Father’s Day tournament 2012 my dads 25 lb 5 place mahi hit my rod if I had millions of dollar I would reproduce all Crome on senator reels that would be nice just try to sand the bad spots Wayne now back to boat work took a break trying to pressurize my live well so ballyhoos and live baits don’t die in thirty seconds in ruff seas

[@lonesomeknoteye]

Wish it was cheaper but Totally agree about the inch per turn dude, that's y I prefer my 8500penn 42in per turn for a spinning reel. And I've high horses a good bull shark up no prob,I've used the speed master on some kings and snaps last year and loved it. So so smooth!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

I have the 8500 also. Beast of a spinning reel.

[@TheOutdoorCatch]

Shimano makes a good reel. Nice review!👍

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks buddy

[@andrewmorke]

Penn tried to respond to this with the Fathom II lever and failed in my opinion.

[@SPaw-dg3ye]

I never really understood cleaning conventional reels, so can i basically just spray a hose on it to clean it or is there more to it?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

I wipe them with a microfiber towel after spraying them down.

[@kornelkatai441]

would be good to see another update to see how bad the paint bubbling got ....

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

The bubbling did get worse but the reel still functioned like new. Unfortunately that reel sunk to 300 feet. I bought another so lets see if this reel has any issues with the finish.

[@korny0009]

@@CProFishingWithWayne keep us posted if the new one bubbles as well.. i just bought one as well and contemplating taking it apart so i can put a coat of 2k clearcoat on it

[@PeelingLine]

Good review. I have a policy of never rinsing my reels and just run them into the ground. Gives me an excuse to buy new stuff. 😂Why did you choose the red braid? 👍

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

LOL that’s funny Brett. Red was on sale LOL. Since upgraded all my offshore braid. I use blue camo spiderwire or ocean blue Diamond braid.

[@mlangfordcamper]

All my spinners are shimano I love them

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Great reels

[@PHFishingBiking]

Nice monster reel!! Something you may want to try to stop that type of corrosion... may want to wipe your reels down with a rag lightly sprayed with corrosionX spray that stuff is the best I use it all the time for everything. 👍

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Thanks PH I will check that stuff out.

[@maum2759]

@@CProFishingWithWayne Thanks for the follow up review man! can you give an update wheter this really works good? Im still kinda sceptical wheter i should buy this reel, because i really want it to last for atleast a few years

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Mau M I would definitely buy another in the future. This will most likely be the last review I do on it.

[@cavemanlovewoman]

@@CProFishingWithWayne I'm pretty sold on the speedmaster, I don't think there's another reel for the money that offers the durability and features of it. If you do decide to make another video on it I would be interested in watching it. Thanks.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

@@cavemanlovewoman great reel just watch out for corrosion.

[@bido8176]

Do you think the Speedmaster 25 could handle 100-200 lb class bluefin tuna?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

I can’t speak from experience but I don’t see why not. I would probably go with a Talica 25 or 50 instead.

[@user-rg8kq8me3v]

Yes

[@joesteinberger6266]

What kind of rod do you have with this? Do you have a link if possible?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Star Paraflex 7’ XXH

We have a similar problem with sharks in Queensland Hear we call them the TAX Man !!

very nice video and i liked it and i am sube ❤ 🔥

Thanks for watching

[@jackofalltrades5904]

You want to sell the speedmaster?

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

No way 😁

[@fieshyfish]

the penn fathom and torque is so much better, open the reel up and you will see what shimano really is.. i sold all my talicas because they straight suck

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

You might be right but I love them so far. I’ve spoken to many top notch charter captains who prefer the Talica.

[@fieshyfish]

@@CProFishingWithWayne haha, I hope you realize almost all charter captains are either sponsored by shimano or trying to get a sponser by Shimano, they have to say good things about these reels. Shimano reels are made to feel smooth in the shop so more people will buy them thinking it's the best, but this is because shimano used brass gearing and absolutely no grease. I've broken more talicas than any other reel, they suck. I've broken handles, had reels get so corroded that you could not use them anymore without spending $200 just in part replacements. And the frame goes to hell with shimanos EI coating, which is basically a cheap way to skip anodizing and scratches just by looking at it. They use some cheap carbon drag called "cross carbon" which absolutely sucks and breaks down after a couple large fish. Dude I'm not telling you to promote some other reel brand, legit talicas are a waste of time and money. If I could post pictures on youtube I would show you the hell I've been through with these reels..

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Gotcha. Best of luck with whatever you use

[@fieshyfish]

@drop stix i sold them off

[@SaskFisher]

So yah think that ones strong enough to reel in those Perch pan fish I slam??? Hahah

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

🤣

[@fieshyfish]

dont upgrade to a talica.. you wont get a better reel, my talicas have all broke after 4 seasons and the frames corrode

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

First I’ve heard this. Best of luck with whatever you’re using.
