Slick looking reel thanks for the demo cheers Yogi 🇦🇺🤙🤙

[@simonkhayat4937]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Ive had my 5000cxh now for 12months, and a few of the smaller models for just shy of the 12month period, I can comfortably say this reel is the undisputed king of finesse fishing & the 5000 is a weapon for heavier saltwater applications. I'll be in to buy another few models to complete my collection. keep up the good work guys!

[@michaelkolbe5963]

Excellent reel ! Want a 4000 size in this reel eventually !

[@anglerstriketv62]

For me Daiwa reel is a masterpiece❤❤❤ the design was perfect 101% ❤

[@bestthingsinceslicedrice]

Is the side plate socket used on the Certate to open it fit on this reel?

[@theslowserious9974]

Sounds like it have the Shimano bail clicking when opening the bail? Not like the other daiwa LT reels where the bail opens silently? I have both the 18 Stellas and Exist LT. Great video though!

[@SacredHeart808]

Nice review, I’m trying to decide whether I want the 4000 or 5000 size. What’s the difference between the two? Is it just the spool size? Same body? It would be nice if you can put out a video to compare the sizes. Thanks.

[@colingater2743]

Very nice.

[@miketorre16]

I have the 22 Stella FK. what reel is better when reeling in a fish? I know the FK is solid, like a winch. hows this compare?

[@raymundmonica8884]

Can you pls do video about the Daiwa TD black MQ reel pls

[@lambkebab1741]

Im a shimano man but this might just be the reel to win me over

[@francopescaarica]

hola, gusto en saludar. Me podrían ayudar a entender si conviene más un certate o un exist? Hablo español y no puedo entender nada en el video, si lo escriben puedo poner el traductor. Se los agradecería mucho.

[@dearSamuelSamuel1]

Can you get that ball handle for the 3000 reel?

[@chasekaneakua8874]

Is this the same size as a non SW 5000 Shimano?

[@williamoratajr.4365]

Which is better 24 certate or the 22 exist?

[@mvladimirov2001]

Hi, Do you know what is the difference between the normal size 2500 and the PC 2500 version? The PC has 10 kg drag but what else? Thanks!

[@maxschmidt9461]

😅😅😅 better test those drag numbers yourself, 10kg is more than even the 6K Certate SW puts out, the 5k Certate LT which is similar to the Exist only produces 6kg which is still plenty for such a small reel but don't believe those numbers, regardless, such a small reel wouldn't survive such a drag for long anyway, sadly.

[@aharonsofir4869]

Can I link a silver button handle? as in the video

[@jamssparow7967]

A clasic design with expensif price

[@DrJanLindberg]

Not expensive for what you get actually

[@vsonic86]

If you have to pick one reel between exist 2022 5000 vs certe 5000 sw for saltwater, what would it be and why?

[@TackleWest]

For saltwater fishing would be better off with certate is you want more heavy duty

[@johnnynguyen-cf3zc]

totally different reels , weight of the reels are different

[@DrJanLindberg]

@@TackleWest For salt water the new 23 Saltiga!

[@chasekaneakua8874]

Why so? The Exist is a better built reel and rated for SW use just like the Certate is.

[@maasai-]

Regular locomotive osc. plus magseal oil to worry about , as a shimano guy i have baught lately certate 5000 lt just for the design sake only, when compared side by side with tp 5000 fd i can spot easily quality finish with certate rotor bottom section with one side having sharp edge , i do cast good enough n certate would always come short , still happy with my purchase though. stella 5000xg fk is my next hunt.

[@DrJanLindberg]

Magseal is no worry. I have that oil if needed, and the "locomotive" oscillation is best. The "new" slow oscillation was introduced in the 1960´s by Mitchell. Not very successful.

[@maasai-]

@@DrJanLindberg Most users find it impossible to get genuine magseal oil , locomotive vs worm gear osc means cross pattern vs parallel . Even logics going against what u c , less friction does help alot in good hands,

[@DrJanLindberg]

@@maasai- When the line is slightly loosely wound, it can sometimes cut down to the layer below and cause more friction than a slight cross pattern. MagSeal oil is easily available from Hedgehog Studio .

[@DrJanLindberg]

Not regular simple locomotion at all. Just a more advanced oscillation, compares to Shimano´s design, borrowed from bait casting reels.

[@DrJanLindberg]

Yes, the new 22 Exist is the best of the best! I have many previous Daiwa, and three new Stella 2022, but the 22 Exist is top of the top. I have three so far, but two more on order.

[@TackleWest]

That msg a lot of High end reels! Enjoy

[@CannonCountry]

Jan, What sizes and what rods did you pair with each? I have a PC LT 3000-XH on order from digitaka. I still have not picked the rod yet for it. Do you have a good recommendation?

[@DrJanLindberg]

@@CannonCountry I use the 2000, 2500, 3000 and 5000. I mostly use the 3000 for pike on a Westin W10 Powerteez 8´7" . An amazing rod!

Hi , can you tell me is it good quality for salt water or can i use it for beach fishing with salt water . please let me know .Thank you for your time .

[@TackleWest]

You can use in saltwater but this is not a beach fishing reel

@CindySmith-ek5lc yes it is strong enough for that

[@andyk8322]

[@roymiller1295]

Where’s it made & can u get the 5000 knob on a 2500 ?

[@TackleWest]

It is made in Japan. The knob on the 5000 Size would be way too big for a 2500

[@DrJanLindberg]

All Japan made. Ball knobs available

[@DrJanLindberg]

There are ball knobs that fits the 2500

[@HaiFishing]

I love the new Exist, just wish they kept with the same iconic thick bail that high-end Daiwa reels have. I really don’t mind the extra weight that comes with a more sturdy thick bail. But other than that, it’s just superb to fish with! Great video mate!

[@TackleWest]

Thanks mate. The new bail is actually stronger then the previous model but yeh they are trying to make it as light as possible

[@wayned3137]

How is this compares to SHIMANO stella and VAN STAAL?

[@TackleWest]

This reel would be our pick of the bunch

[@DrJanLindberg]

This is number one

[@ShorrockPaul]

Where does this place against the Saltiga 2020

[@TackleWest]

Saltiga is heavy duty and the Exist is a finesse reel. Both are Daiwa flagship models

[@Dave30867]

Looks ok anyway. I do not drop my reels in the water 🤣 I do not want any mag sealed reels in my collection . I do like the design of the body 😉👍 .

[@phiromtauch6059]

They all don’t come with the ball knob?

[@TackleWest]

No only the 5000

[@DrJanLindberg]

for the 5000 size, but you can buy many different handles, with round knob or all other types

[@Jessica37323]

Beautiful reel! But can you reel it underwater salt water?

[@dearSamuelSamuel1]

Not sure why youd need to do this? But if you want to spin your reels fully submerged in salt water, get a Van Staal I guess.

[@maxschmidt9461]

🤣🤣🤣 No! It's not a Van Staal, even the Saltigas shouldn't be reeled underwater and the exist isn't a heavy duty fully sealed saltwater reel. The Exist is for freshwater and light inshore fishing where the reel is neither submerged nor heavily drenched, salt spray is fine but anything more is at your own risk. Get the small Certate SW or Saltiga if you expect a dunk or two, if you actually want to reel underwater get a Staal if you don't like to waste money on broken reels

[@chasekaneakua8874]

The Exist is SW rated and is built better than the Certate. Just because it doesn't have SW in the name doesn't mean it's not sealed just as good or better.

Well this is the flagship Daiwa, of course it is good. Not a fan of the colour tho. I am still keeping them brown/gold beauties from 2018, absolutely stunning looking, these new ones are a bit meh.

[@cozab5487]

Go hold one in person, they make the 2015 feel like a plastic toy🤷🏽‍♂️ (you meant the 15 I assume, as the 18 was the ugly silver LT, 15 was the brown/gold gem). However I totally agree with the looks, I wouldn't say "meh" as honestly the liquid metal kinda look in person is supe cool, but it definitely doesn't look as classy as the 2015! But no reel does to be fair 😂.

[@tonyg3091]

@@cozab5487 Yes, my bad, 15 indeed. Beauty. But I just realized that I badly need a 3000/4000 HX 😅😅 So… If you remember at that time the Stella looked very similar-brown and gold. Both were amazingly looking reels and I stocked up well on both but small sizes only. Which is good as now I can justify adding another Exist, gonna check it still tomorrow.
