THIS REEL, made me a Daiwa Fan!
May 31, 2014
Wanted a "step-up" from the super durable Shimano TR-100G, that I use for all my charter reels. I wanted a power handle, a star drag with a clicking adjustment, a super tough levelwind, all aluminum. That I can cast jigs with, rip a giant top water plug with, and be a "personal reel".
Pros
- The bench mark for me as I said above was the Shimano TR-100G work horse conventional level-wind, star drag reel in which I have 16 of, and use daily for charter fishing with customers. But wondered if there was a step up out there in reel land, that wasn't terribly expensive, and would suit my days of personal fishing.
- YES THERE IS! And the saltist H-C is durable as any with so many features that I was in the need for.
- And now, I'm a DAIWA guy! These HC reels have made a Fan outa me!
- Clicking adjustment star drag
- AUTO-ENGAGING.....with a 1/2 turn of the massive reel handle!!!!!!!!
- Bullet-proof, almost over sized level wind mechanism
- Loads of bearings for super smooth operation
- AND...........6.1-1 GEAR RATIO!
- Yes a heavy duty saltwater contender, that feels like a MANS reel in your hands.
- Please cut & paste this Url to Youtube to watch my full review comparing the Saltist H-C to my other reels: http://youtu.be/A1hjY8ZmzbA
Cons
- NOT A ONE I CAN FIND, SO FAR. After months of heavy saltwater fishing.

Would like to match up with a 12 foot Penn Carnage casting rod 4-10 oz.
Would this balance out?
1 Answer
Hello Mr Taylor
After putting that reel on the 12 foot rod I would go to 30 size one
Size up from the 20 you selected.

Good day, I am an interested to buy your roll LW20H-C, but I'm curious whether it is possible to adjust / regulate or slow down the free spool on some kind of way. I watched a video on you tube but I could not see
Thank you in advance for your reply

Yes. There is a control knob that allows you to adjust the tension on the spool.
