BUYER'S GUIDE: BEST SPINNING REELS (BUDGET TO ENTHUSIAST)

[@robertrizzari3684]

There's a faction of grown adults out there that await these videos like the Sears/J.C. Penny Christmas catalogs of the past. Grown men just laying on their stomach in the living room circling what we want lol😂

[@tacticalbassin]

@@robertrizzari3684 😂😂😂

[@robertrizzari3684]

@tacticalbassin With that said, this reply from you guys will make my holidays one to remember. Didn't have any one to show me the ropes coming up. I got my beginning education with the legendary Bill Dance, but by I have Tactical Bassin to thank for my higher education. Fishing with you guys is at the top of my bucket list one day, but until then good luck and thank you!

[@tacticalbassin]

@@robertrizzari3684 we appreciate you! Thanks for being part of the Tacticalbassin family!

[@gabrielwalls524]

Funny as hell and so true

[@mgd2040]

Yes

[@nawinchester]

This is without question. One of the best tactical Bassin videos you guys have put out. I'm a spinning reel, not, specifically on the Daiwa side, and I actually learned something today about both sides of the equation. Good stuff! Thank you.

[@mikebuniva6251]

This video was a grand slam! I think this may have been your best video ever. The amount of knowledge and careful detailed explanation is unsurpassed. Thanks for all you do to help us increase our knowledge and make the most informed decisions possible. You two are the best at this.👍👍

[@timdarnell7819]

Possibly one of your best video yet. You guys definitely took most of the heartburn away from a reel purchase. Now its just making the wife be ok with buying more gear lol.

[@philipfalco7304]

Great video guys! I still have one of the first STELLA'S that were available in the U.S. It's a 2002 STELLA FA 2500 (Originally made for Saltwater) that's not only as smooth as it was the day I purchased it, but as smooth as ANY spinning reel I own today. It has 15 BB, perfect line lay and casts as well as anything I own (And that's saying something).

[@scottmiles5783]

I have bought so much gear because of these videos. Saved a ton of money. Amazing information!

[@gslang3489]

I mean that's kind of the point of them

[@mitchfarmer9509]

Up early getting ready to work up some fine B-B-Q. Appreciate you guys dedication to the sport and willingness to share it with all us beginner level anglers.

[@mitchfarmer9509]

Btw, What jighead are you guys using on the 7” Damiki Armor Shad that you were landing nice striper on? Was it the Z man you used in the Freestyle Magdraft?

[@tacticalbassin]

It was the Owner XL Round Ball. They imported a small run and we bought most of them 😂 But word is they'll be here in mass this Spring.

[@mitchfarmer9509]

I have been searching and best I’ve found so far us Gussy said Smeltinator uses Gama hooks and I can get jigheads up to 1/4-1/2oz in a 5/0.

[@c.shoefish]

Man...i played with a 3k size twinpower this weekend in a saltwater tackle shop...all i can say is wow, I get it. You wouldn't believe how close i was to buying that damn thing....but, still have more presents to buy so i forced myself to walk away. It's all good, I'll keep enjoying my Miravels and the Ultegras...For the fellow saltwater guys out there...look no further then the Daiwa BG (esp if you're on a budget) , i personally have em in reels from 3k to 14k and ive never once had an issue, catching everything from flounder to 100+ lbs tuna...great video guys.

[@AVA787]

You guys are spot on with the longevity of Shimano. I have a first gen Stradic Ci4+ that I bought 15 years ago. Still runs just like the day I bought it.

[@dennisederer3594]

No words to explain my appreciation for your insightful presentation on spinning fishing machines. I’m unable to cast a bait caster reel. I installed spinning reels on my bait caster rods. Accurate casts, long casts and no more birds nests. I’ve struggled to select a better spinning reel to work better for my applications. Now I have the recorded seminar to make a wise decision. Thank you so much.

[@fonsecaandre]

Best reel video ever made!!! Thanks a lot for the explanations. Until today I never understood differences of Shimano models. Congrats

[@loaf21]

thank you for laying out and explaining the Shimano lines differences. the 1st time I heard you guys talking about this, I did a Google search. the results were a couple boards (which I moved on from quickly) that thought you guys were nuts for thinking there were different lines within the company to a few that were just plain guesses. I finally did find a Shimano pamphlet online that showed the 2 different lines, but only had a couple of the U.S. reels on there and more of the JDM reels that I had never heard of. long story short...thanks again for the wonderfully detailed breakdown!!

[@calebriemer8763]

Gold mine of information yall have discovered about these reel families! Thanks for sharing!

[@ReelKingsNQueens1]

Im a Shimano Stan. I think 1 thing that makes Shimano better in the spinning reel is Shimanos trickle down technology.

[@shorefishingontario]

That is a big one and the Shimano gear train is superior as well.

[@asteenbock1]

Awesome video guys, thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us!

[@LasVegasSportfishing]

Never knew that about the shimano’s, and i’ve been running them forever. Makes sense now that it’s been explained. Thanks!

[@thadgeorge4984]

Good video guys. It was helpful, like others have said, seeing the 2 shimano lines laid out and talked about.

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

The Daiwa's have a switch which allow you to reel backwards. If you are an amataur like me, and if you forget to set your drag correctly, it allows you to real backward if a big one makes a run Also, at the end of the day, when you're putting your lure in the hook keeper, you can adjust the length of the line more easily. Have Regal, Reveros, Exceller Sedona and Stradic

[@jimmypage279]

I've fished with both daiwa and shimano from low, medium, to high end. You guys hit it on point shimano power spinning reels are meant for baits with a consistent retrieve or for power baits, think crankbaits, swimbaits, tubes, and jigs. The finesse spinning reels from shimano are comparable to the daiwa reels. I will say at the high end, shimano reels do have a lighter more free rotation to them but the daiwas definitely have tighter tolerances to them.

[@SongFong]

Thanks for great video, I learned so much about spinning reels.

[@matthewspell416]

Love this video! I agree Shimano and Daiwa have had the spinning reel market forever. The lower priced reels blow my mind. I will say that Lews finally made a good spinning reel with the custom lite , it’s very nice.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for the feedback, we'll give it another look.

[@shorefishingontario]

Shimano guy here watching at work, lets go! Also, lighter doesn't necessarily mean that it's better.

[@donaldferris1638]

Just ordered my Stradic fm 3000 for my Phenix feather 7.7 medium. Thanks guys I’m enjoying these series

[@Larry77777]

Fantastic information in this video and description. FYI: Worldwide, the SHIMANO models shown above have multiple size 2500 variants and multiple size 3000 variants, besides those shown. Some size 2500 variants have 9lbs drag; others have 20lbs drag. Most, if not all, size 3000 variants have 20lbs drag.

[@johngfishing8814]

Im a Shimano guy. Have the Vanford, CI4, Nasci, and 2 Stradics. Love them all. But with your description of the Daiwa Tatula I’m thinking of checking that out. Thanks for a wonderful video

[@bassinbilliards6279]

It's cool you're doing a complete dedicated for spinning and casting. I had learned about shimanos lines years ago when I bought my first Stradic ci4+ and bought two nasci for power fishing. This was back in 2016-17 i think. I remember reading Japanese comments and using translation.

[@rapalaXJS]

One of the best TB videos! Perhaps to the whole story related to shimano finesse reels, I would add two more, which are worth mentioning. They are Vanquish (high end reel) and Complex XR (bass custom reel) . Probably they were not mentioned because they are not present on the US market?!

[@IIamjj]

I was waiting for this!!! Thanks yall

[@tacticalbassin]

You're welcome!

[@dsc420247]

I love my Abu Garcia reels and poles!!! Never ever had a single problem with them!! 👍👍

[@scottharvey2392]

Extremely informative video! Thank you for the info. I agree, this might be the best video you've done. Do you have thoughts on Okuma?

[@BassinJared18]

Excellent explanation of the reels , great video !

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks!

[@Twangtown7]

Excellent stuff as usual, fellers!

[@lightningmusky5286]

So the Tatula elite did what the Exscence A and Vanford do with bigger spool , smaller body. That’s interesting. That’s why I bought all three. I still have an old Shimano Aero from the 80’s going strong

[@DougLane-dj3oh]

Really well done. A verbal catalogue. Why the two types? Gears size and teeth design and spool support design with drag stack diameter. Really great job!!

[@derekspicer1143]

That’s awesome info you found. Good translation

[@polychris5961]

This was a standout video boys. Even after having watched you guys since pre 100k subs. I’m a vanford / stradic guy, now I understand exactly why lol.

[@davidvanmaanen-icperch2797]

I just let my girlfriend feel the difference between the new Vanford and Twinpower. She said the Vanford accelerates faster and is easier to stop halfway a handle turn, the TwinPower needs more power to get the handle turned but feels more comfortable and smoother while it is turning. She has never fished. Yes, the TP is mega smooth so not that comparable as Vanford VS Stradic but the essence is clear, the inertia and winding is different. Officially the Magnumlite starts at Miravel (MGL rotor) vs top of the line Vanquish and the Coresolid at Ultegra (Coresolid body) - Stella FK. Interesting to catagorize the less expensive ones in those two categories.

[@fresnocascabel7571]

One thing most anglers don't know or realize I that Shimano specializes in making gears. Not only are they giants in the fishing industry, they're giants in the cycling industry. In my family we joke about how my dad (an avid cyclist) wears Shimano apparel for entirely different reasons as to why I wear it.

[@andrewbland7109]

Left out the Daiwa Exceler. Best reel for the money I’ve ever seen or used

[@nickrobertson8406]

Hmm. I don’t like mine. I liked the older ones. All of my ultralights have old Excelers and they are still perfect. I bought the 2500 and 1000 Excelers and they are already feeling less smooth after 2 months. I was initially impressed with the tolerances, but they feel less rugged.

[@Shawn-y3z]

Great information! Thanks 😁

[@Recyclopps]

To add to how the Vanford is in the finesse line but can do power fishing just fine. Caught one of my biggest striper of last year. 47" and 35#+

[@GardenStateFishin]

Awesome video guys. How often do you guys service your higher end reels?

[@Grant_Reynolds]

All I i have is a Walmart for fishing gear. So it's nice to have these videos so, if I ever decide to, I'm not questioning a purchase online. Thanks for the video guys!

[@freddyj5845]

Everyone deserves one boujee rod and reel combo. Just got mine and it hurt but let me tell you it makes a difference.

[@Grant_Reynolds]

@freddyj5845 Oh I know it does...my dreams have told me so. Well and so have Tim and Matt lol

[@rhodesianhunter9360]

Good video, I’ve always looked at the shimano’s as fresh water and salt water.

[@mikecamalier2653]

That was the best information on shimano I have heard thank you. Bassmd

[@cbmn3994]

Great video guys.

[@structurebe1]

Found the power/coresolid and finesse/mgl chart in a Shimano catalog!

[@nickcautrell2514]

The main things I look for if I'm buying a new spinning reel is first off how many bearings does I have. It's not the absolute deal breaker but it sure helps. And the brand and if they've got decent reviews. I've got two Lews speed spools, I don't remember the exact model number. They're in the 50 to $60 range at Walmart. Been very happy with him. One of them is about 4 years old and the other one I just bought this past summer. They both feel identical on the water, the brand new one is obviously just a tiny bit smoother than the old one, but they've held up good. The other thing I've learned to look for is make sure it has a reverse switch. I bought a $60 pfluger trion I think it was, got it home pull up a package felt good looked good, and then notice for whatever reason they took the reverse switch off. I figured okay, I'll try it. Fish one afternoon with it and took it back to the store. That right there is an absolute deal breaker. If my daughter is using my pole and she wants me to change her lure, or rebate her hook it's a lot easier to say flip the little switch on the bottom and give me a little bit of line then it is to say flip the bail and give me all of it and then see how much comes out.

[@freddyj5845]

What’s the ideal range of bearings that you would look for?

[@toddpossum]

Thanks!

[@SW_OhioFinesseBandit]

You guys left out one of the best reels from Diawa and that is the Ballistic MQ LT… that particular series is truly the blend of the the Tatula Elite and the certate with a price like the Fuego. Get some of those and try them you’ll be mind blown at how they perform.

[@RworldKM]

BFS may be growing, but there's a whole new niche of saltwater anglers that go for ultralight fishing. "Ajing" is what they call it. For ultralight saltwater fishing, spinning reels still reign supreme, particularly finesse spinning reels. Glad to see that this video shows the differences.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I started out in saltwater and just can't get into casting gear, especially after using heavy conventional set ups off shore. When I grab a casting setup I keep having to foyght the urge to stick it under my arm like a grouper rod. 😂

[@RworldKM]

@Steve-ev6vx it's very rare to see saltwater anglers using baitcasters. There's also another niche market from Daiwa regarding shorecasting baitcaster reels. Something entirely different from your conventional multiplier reels.

[@scottturner3762]

The DAIWA KAGE 2500 is never mentioned.... It is an awesome reel and easily competes with the Vanford

[@jamesg1425]

I think it's because not everyone can purchase one. But I know a lot of the retailers will sell you a Kage online but it has to be done through email or a phone call, my local shop says Daiwa doesn't allow it to be sold online but they can do it still if you call. I just ordered mine! Haven't tried it yet. I'm picking it up on Monday from the store. Can't wait though! The guys said it's a great reel I'm sure to love. Got the new 3000 size LT that just came out

[@scottturner3762]

Gotcha... Yeah I've only ever seen it locally and not that frequently. But man that reel is super sexy. Works extremely well. Smooth and I love the handle. Just the entire package is s winner and frankly, I'm not s DAIWA guy..

[@charlesthomas5926]

That's one of my favorites kage is an incredible reel

[@freddyj5845]

You can only purchase that at your local bait shop. I have the 7ft Kage UL rod. Was thinking of getting a 2500 Kage. Do you think it would be too heavy?

[@scottturner3762]

​@@freddyj5845 I love mine, I have 2 Vanfords and the KAGE is just as light, even more compact and super smooth. I'd think it would work perfectly

[@us_patriot_31b]

To be quite honest I run daiwa in the Salt and shimano for fresh. The Saltist MQ is a beast along with the BG and BG MQ. I’ve yet to pick up a tatula MQ, I hear they’re better than the BG MQ. To put it easily both companies are worth every penny at any price point.

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Warning about the Miravel: I used it for inshore fishing out of my kayak and it got some salt water in it after sitting in bottom of my kayak while I fished with another rod. Left it overnight without rinsing it out-my boneheaded mistake-and reel got really geary and drag effed. Sent it to Shimano and they basically replaced the internals for $35 and good as new. So, 2 things: don’t use Miravel in the salt (duh, I know) and Shimano reel service never fails to impress me. Got a Daiwa Fuego (magsealed against water intrusion) and now that’s all I use inshore (well, Daiwa BG also, which is best bang-for-buck saltwater reel 5+ years running)

[@Skunko5000]

For anyone looking at the Nexave, I was using 10lb power pro on the reel and line was getting caught underneath the line roller. I changed to a thicker diameter and haven’t had much of an issue.

[@F14AB]

Hey y’all, I’m curious about how your alls boat n motors have done so far this year.. I’m very curious. Great video in a condensed version which is amazing for you two lol. Looking forward to the baitcasters now.

[@RUF33OH]

lol…. What??

[@richardbossman9875]

Specifically talking about saltwater spinning reels I typically fish with Penn and they ALL fish like power reels, they are bricks but if you hook into a Bull Redfish or a baby shark you won’t get owned assuming your line and rod are up to the task. Penn used to make a fantastic freshwater reel called the Prion that felt as high dollar as anything else Diawa was making at the time, and then they got rid of the lineup ..

[@richardbossman9875]

I also have the Diawa Fuego 2500D-XH which is about half an oz heavier than the 2000 size and trades a little capacity but has a much faster retrieve speed. I use mine for mini- senkos and spy baits in tiny sizes.

[@freddyj5845]

Perfect timing

[@jasonwilliams8875]

Dang gonna be late to work gotta watch you guys lol

[@SkiiDoggy]

I love you guys. The info you bring to the viewer is priceless. Just have one question, why did you not include the Daiwa Ballistic in the guide. Been considering purchasing this reel and was hoping this guide would help me with that. Thanks.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

I have noticed a huge problem with spinning gear since I started fishing again 6 yrs ago. It really surprises me how poorly most spinning reels fit into the reel seat of most spinning rods. Especially when you attempt to pair a rod and reel from the same company. You would think Shimano rods/Shimano reels, Daiwa rods/Daiwa reels, Lew's rods/Lew's reels, etc. would fit together properly, but most of them don't. The first thing I do when I consider buying a new reel is test fit it on the rod I plan to pair it with. I can accept the fitment of a pairing being off a little, but if it's too bad I pass on the reel regardless of how good it is or how much I like it.

[@dsc420247]

Can y'all do one on spinning rods next??? Different actions for different baits and which is best for each!! 🙏🙏

[@Tallnerdyguy]

Sedoña? Spanish Japanese reels? Xenon is zee non. It's an element, use Google to pronounce it lol. Big difference in the shimano line from vanford/stradic and above is the long stroke spool. The spool is taller and can increase distance drastically. Great otherwise

[@seangalvin7394]

Question regarding the Brecknell scale. Do you guys use the hook it comes with or do you use a fish trap? Wanted to ask this question on this video because it’s the most recent video

[@jimbrandt2532]

Why is it that spinning reels don’t have anti reverse switch anymore? That’s something I use quite a bit. Thanks for the great job you guys do explaining fishing gear.

[@TAK-1127]

No mention of the Daiwa Ballistic MQLT? Amazing reel at a reasonable price. Did they stop production perhaps?

[@2apunky441]

Great video! To bad tackle warehouse didn't include shimano or diawa reels in the black friday sale this time

[@Hatedepot]

They do, you see the discount on the final checkout screen. Sadly my bank account found this out 😊

[@2apunky441]

@Hatedepot thanks man.

[@user-lj9sl9fp2u]

They're included, but you have to actually make the purchase to see the discount. Check your receipt at the end, they're all on sale 😎

[@irvinjr2529]

i just bought a penn battle 4 dx 3000 and i have a shimano nexhave c3000hg

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

I think the Miravel would fall in the "finesse" side for Shimano. The MGL Rotor defines the "finesse" side.

[@charlesthomas5926]

Matt or Tim do you know what the difference is between the shimano vanford and the vanford fa is

[@nick8339]

What's wrong with the Shimano Sienna and Daiwa Crossfire? If you guys don't recommend certain popular products it'd be great to hear you explain why you recommend staying away from them. Thanks for the videos guys!

[@scottcameron3559]

Good stuff boys well done no shusi tonight

[@chriscurtis8577]

I think you should do one about baitcasters please and thank you

[@nathanprovost2162]

I have a vanford 2000 reel on a NRX 822, is there a huge difference if I jumped up to the excense? Just curious

[@brianrobinson9979]

So would you say that, if I wanted one style over the other (with Shimano) I can just look at the reel weight?

[@joefish63]

I love my Abu Garcia Revo spinning reels. ABU GARCIA FOR LIFE!

[@timdarnell7819]

I love Revo reels too. Just bought a Nasci, will never go back to Revo. They're seriously that much better.

[@starwars095]

Hey guys: cool video and very good breakdown of the spinning reel world. Just curious: You always say that when your on the road fishing you’ll stop at at any tackle shop you come across to find tackle. If that’s the case then why do you only mention Tackle Warehouse on your channel. Thanks…🎣🤔😎🐝

[@timdarnell7819]

When you need something in a pinch, you have to stop where you can

[@WorldsOkayestBusDriver]

Abu Garcia Zata is the BEST I have found. Then, they stopped the Olive Green color WHY?🤷‍♂️ But I have done everything from dropping it in the water to reeling in BIG pike while panfishing.

[@adamdennison1406]

Here's one for you where would you put a 1987 Shakespeare tiger tsp50 at a reel that kept on going 14 years for me never skipped a beat

[@darrensmith8091]

Is it just me or are the video descriptions dark grey and really hard to read on these buyers guides. Great video as usual.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Seems normal to me

[@darrensmith8091]

Text is white on the Jig video but all others have dark text on dark background. Weird.

[@scottsayasing3785]

That’s a Stella FK The link has it listed as a FJ

[@AidanSmitfishing]

No mention of the daiwa ballistic? I’ve got a 2500 and 3000. As well as a vanford and a Stradic. They all have they’re time and place but the ballistic is a good mix between the 2 and the price hasn’t changed much the last 3 years compared to the Stradic and vanford

[@idontstunt2613]

Just asking this off topic cause I know you guys would know and it’s not listed what line would the vanquish reel be in ?

[@TWC6724]

I’m a father of 4 and don’t have a lot of money Lol. I have 3 of the Daiwa Revros. I am absolutely surprised how decent these are for the price. I really like them.

[@nickrobertson8406]

The Revros is a great reel. On some of my long crappie rods, I offset the weight by using the slightly heavier Revros. I wouldn’t be happier with any reel in the Daiwa line up, really. When you’re catching, you’re not thinking about your reel. :) At least not if you’re using a Revros. It just works.

[@TWC6724]

@ Agreed. 👍

[@Vexzah]

Uh oh boys I’m up so late TB posted before I passed out. 😂 just bought a Vanford FA 24’ for an Edge DSR and a Tatula SV TW 70 for an expride 610MMH. Long time follower first time commenter. Just wanted to say that I absolutely love and appreciate the hard work both of you put into this channel. You two have helped me turn from first time bass fisherman to seasoned veteran in a way quicker fashion than I could have done on my own. My question for you guys is have you had any experience with Edge rods? I know you as well as myself have heard horror stories of customer service and long wait times. However I’m curious of your opinion on the rods themselves without the bias of the other issues within the company. I get really good discounts from some people that run them, so I am just curious your thoughts. I don’t need a long winded explanation, but just a comparison to the highest end rods in the market. Specifically Expride/OrochiXX/P5 destroyer/NRX+. Keep up the good work guys I absolutely look forward to spending my work day listening to you guys while I’m on the grind.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

There nothing special

[@carlodeblasio3968]

Interestingly the higher end reals are not being included in the sale on TW.

[@tinydiscgolf]

So I own a miravel but it's not my favorite. If I wanted to test the power side, trying out a nasci, would probably be a good starting point I imagine?

[@timdarnell7819]

I just bought a nasci, best reel I have ever purchased. Even for a power reel, it's buttery smooth and you can feel everything with it.

[@christophererenberg1963]

So I picked up a fenwick elite bass 6'10 MLF last week on the rod sale. I'm trying to decide on a reel to pair with it for my finesse stuff. What would you guys buy if you were using it?

[@tacticalbassin]

Do you have a brand preference and a budget?

[@christophererenberg1963]

@tacticalbassin not especially. I would like to be around 100. I have a regal on another setup that I like. I also have a pflugger president on another travel setup that is fine but wouldn't necessarily buy another one. All of my other spinning stuff is like 25 years old

[@tacticalbassin]

@christophererenberg1963 if you put a Shimano Miravel on that rod I think you'll be shocked by the result. During the sale it will just about fit in the budget as well.

[@christophererenberg1963]

@tacticalbassin ok thanks guys! That's kind of what I was thinking, to be honest. Just like you guys always say there is sooo much stuff out there it's hard to decide. Thanks for making these vids fellas but you can stop now I'm gonna go broke!

[@josephpatten8087]

Just get stradics!!!! I finesse fish with mine and power fish with them. Biggest tragedy Shimano did was end the stradic CI 4 reels!!

[@DavidBronstein1961]

I still troll eBay for the Stradic CI4. I’ve got 2 in the 2500 size and they are perfection, chef’s kiss, 💋 Agree 💯% they are great reels for the $$

[@josephpatten8087]

@ I have a CI 4 + and a CI 4 ++ both in 2500. The amount of drag they had for their size is ridiculous and also survived saltwater fishing.

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

Might check out the new Vanford-A, new features really put it step ahead of the Stradic until it gets upgraded

[@johndynneson662]

The. Tatula. Great reel. Handles braid like it’s not even braid Iff that make sense.

[@SamAndSamuel]

Exist blows the Stella away for finesse freshwater techniques

[@RUF33OH]

Truly curious. Why would one need an Excense just to shake a drop shot?

[@Gobert27]

Is there a big difference in the japenese shimano versions? Just ordered a vanford MHG3000 off ebay and not sure what the M means

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

The depth of the spool! S= Shallow, M=Med if it just shows reel speed then it’s the higher capacity spool! Try going to Digitaka pick a Shimano Vanquish and a chart will explain depth or line capacity! Have fun!

[@Gobert27]

@davidrauschenbach6871 awesome info man, thanks a ton

[@travisla1217]

I just scrolled through the spinning reels on Tackle Warehouse and there is not a single Daiwa or Shimano that’s eligible for the Black Friday sale. Am I missing something?

[@user-lj9sl9fp2u]

Yeah, you're missing the sale behind the sale. It isn't advertised but they're all included. Complete your purchase and check the receipt, it's been working that way for years.

[@MichaelRomero]

No Daiwa Ballistic?

[@brianrobinson9979]

Matt..... You don't like talking gear? I don't believe that. When your tackle junky geek comes out it takes everything for Tim to get you back on track 🤣👍

[@piddhan]

There's no sexier piece of equipment in bass fishing than a high end spinning reel!

[@JobForATurtle]

None of the Shimanos and Daiwas are on sale though...

[@user-lj9sl9fp2u]

They're all on sale, it's just not advertised for certain brands. If you purchase one, your receipt will reflect the discount. This isn't new, it's been going on for years.

[@TahoeBassLife]

While I love the breakdown of the lineups, Shimano and Diawa are excluded so not a sale really at all. Just the xenon and 13 fishing reels are. Disappointing for sure but nothing new. Just don’t think you should be saying they’re on sale when they aren’t.

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

You have to put them in cart and checkout you’ll see the savings, and if you send in or photo copy your DD214 or military I.D. you get an extra 10% off! Just a tip!

[@mickeybrowne6207]

They are still on sale, they just can’t be advertised as “on sale” but if you put it in the cart the discount will still apply

[@TahoeBassLife]

Thanks. I put them in the cart and even started checkout with no change, but like you said, on the last step it took it out. Thanks folks

[@theoriginaltech019]

Oh no not the fairy sticks! 😂
