Had to split this up into 2 vids, the next vid will be the casting comparison vs the US SLX DC
I was gonna say I didn’t hear you say your final thoughts on it at the end of the video. Is it worth it?/better than the SLX dc
Awesome, can't wait!
Nice reel. Thanks for the demo. Nice.
Love you Godly messages GOD Bless
Thank you for witnissing about our saviour. I also enjoyed the video.
did you ever try with the braid? Thanks for the review
I gently rip the rod tip up a foot or two right before it hits the water, works everytime.
It has been a great reel. It bombs better than my curado dc.
There is a better way to pick out back lashes that don't damage you line like when you pull and pick it. Look up Bill Dance Backlash.
Do you still have the plastic on your cork handle?
I want to get. Scorpion DC to see if the IDC brakes v. 5 is better the the SLX DC 🙌👍
ON DC reel, try to set your spool tension a bit tighter, it will help. Not all reel can do what Daiwa Zero Adjuster or Daiwa Magforce Z do.
DC reels look down on Daiwa reels
Dc reels blow diawa out of the water
Do u think mono be better then braided line for this reel
My slx dc had one flaw that I just couldn’t overcome. Brake setting 3 would just kill the cast. I’d be trying to get a spinnerbait out 30-40 yards and “doink”. It was really heavy on the tail end. But then brake setting 2 would randomly blow up on me...so it was kind of a rock and a hard place. Do I cast short EVERY time or do I live in fear of random blow ups? Distance mode seemed to work fine but you need a heavy bait and you need a good casting stroke, otherwise it’s gonna be a “go home” backlash. I love every other slx model. The mgl sits nicely alongside my curado 70/engetsu rigs and the regular slx is still an amazing bargain with old school shimano vibe. But something about that dc and the way those brakes are tuned. I could just never make it work for me.
Just use a braid and setting 2, it will work fine.
Curado BFS next !!!
Do you think we will see big differences with braid? Im using 0.20mm braid and I received my new SLX DC 70 just yesterday :)
How are you liking it?
@@johnnyp2155 really a nice reel! it feels nice in the hand and I have improved a lot my cast with lures.
Do you put a line conditioner on your reels before taking them out for the first time? Maybe something for you to try. But great video I think I’m sold on that reel.
Line conditioner makes 0 difference on most line types, except mono, in which it makes VERY little difference
Line conditioner is good for nothing but them to make money off people like you
Got to tighten that spool knob.
All thats great but when i start fishing from my boat i want my reel set up to cast a constant distance without fear of blowing up on me which for my Blue Max is 35 to 40 yds with little or no thumb pressure cause I'm out there to fish...not to see how far i can cast and pick out back lashes which for your reel appears to b about 40 yards. My Abu Garcia Blue max combo 79.97 from Walmart can b set up to cast a constant 35 to 40 yds with no or very little thumb pressure consistently. I can bait both my combos with my favorite 2 lures which saves me time . 2 BM combos for the price of just that one reel. Like i said..I'm out there to fish..not to win distance awards and picking out black lashes. But your video's r interesting.
Agree, accuracy and reliability are why I use baitcaster..its not all distant and really baitcaster reels are for accurate casting. Long bombs use spin reels.
The SLX DC is really a set it and forget reel. I leave mine on the #2 setting and slightly adjust the spool tension knob. Instead of testing the nuances and actual performance these videos are always just based on distance and never focus on, on the water fishing scenarios. Pick the right rod for whatever weight lure you are throwing and any combo will cast a long ways. The SLX DC is a great reel and it is definitely made out of better materials than the blue max combo. End of the day, fish what you like and you are right, fishing is about catching fish not about casting across the pond at some unfishable distance while you pick out a backlash. You will be catching fish while this guy is trying to convince himself that the Japanese SLX DC is somehow better than the US version even though they are the same reel.
@@RockyPondProductions The JDM version is a 70 size spool half the size of the USA and Australia version. I own the SLX DC, Personally I use my jdm SLX MGL More because it never backslashes and I don't like the DC sound.
@@leonardbrown1512 Yeah I know the spool is a different diameter but the reel itself is the same. They just changed the spool.
@@RockyPondProductions The 70 spool is going to have a lot less rotational inertia than the 150; that in itself is going to make it a better even if they didn't change anything else. The difference will be more pronounced the lighter the bait.
What sites do you trust to buy the Japanese versions?
Japan Lure Shop, JDM Heaven, Digitaka I have used all of them. Japan Lure and Digitaka use PayPal which I like rather than credit card
Asain fishing portal that’s where I get mh metaniums
bruh adjust spool tension by dropping your bait in the water straight down if the spool ovcr spools its too loose if it doesnt even drop too tight just find a middle where you can drop the bait it hits water and stops
bruh no
What power level pole you're using?
Medium
Killer man. Is Asian fishing portal reputable? They’re 174 I believe through them
Yes they are. Order from their ebay all the time as well
They are legit, fast shipping also
yes they are legit
@@livinglife3230 how long did it take to get?
Thanks was wondering as well. Just bought a Lunamis from them still waiting to get shipped. How long do they take to ship? It’s been 2 days now.
Slx bfs please
I don’t use a rod or reel to fish and get my bait out twice as far. I just lasso my line out there like if I was ropin a bull. You kids now a days thinks you need all these different thingamajigs just to catch fish. Come fishing with me I’ll reach ya somethin
Have you ever ordered from Samuraittackle? Are they legit?
Ive heard of them, never ordered from them though
how you put scripture first is my Favourite! Subscribing now ! God bless !
Am i the only one that wants to see this dude go actual fishing
Give him a break.....he actually thought a SV reel would outcast something and didn't expect it to be good at its intended purpose lol
@@badzr2 you still butt triggered? lol
ive uploaded fishing vids, its not worth the time to edit because they dont get many views. There are 2 billion "fishing" channels out there
@@THEREELTEST I see, in other words great job keep it up
Khoooooo
I think SLX is very similar to Curado
it seems to be a long boomer with braid 😏
oi man
@@danishmarali6955 orang malaysia bro..
@@rosmawati2424 hehehe ko tgk jugak rupanyaa hahahaha
I usually find mono I little more “tangley” than fluorocarbon.
Maaan, that reel scares me its already backlash on your FIRST CAST! with THE MAXIMUM BRAKING!! TF?? hahahaha
You have to tighten down the spool tension knob to where there's minimal side to side play in the spool and use the appropriate setting for the line type. I have mine dialed to where there's zero side to side, and i use setting 2 for braid like the manual says to, and it won't backlash on me 9/10 times
Also the dc chip doesn’t have a battery so it needs a few casts to actually charge the system
@@jonquirk9582 9 out of 10 times? I have a $40 abu garcia black max from walmart that won’t backlash 10 out 10 times 😂
@@BigDirtDawg any baitcaster, didgital or not will backlash if you whip it hard enough
