I never put too much thought into it before my first import Daiwa purchase, but now when looking at a 2023 Saltiga I figured I should ask some questions for the folks with experience. I purchased a Australian Certate LT 4000D-C (ARK Model), I had read that you can typically get imports serviced in the US but not warrantied before purchasing, but I would love to hear your experience with both below(warranties and service)! I am thinking of picking up a JDM 23 Saltiga and wanted to ask about JDM reels getting serviced in the US and peoples experience with it, and has anyone sent their reel to japan for warranty or servicing and how was that experience? I am willing to get the XH model, as that is what is sold in the US market, if that makes getting it serviced here more likely. Two extra questions, does anyone have a 4000 certate and a 23 saltiga? Which size do you feel like is a worthwhile upgrade from the 4000 for a different reel size feel, thinking 5000 or 6000 with a bias towards the 6000. Secondly, does anyone have a 6000 23 Saltiga and what size rod do you like throwing it on?

Hey yall Im planning to get one of these cheap spinning surf rods for casting 3 oz weights. I have multiple other surf rods and need one on a budget. I've narrowed it down to these two as I needed something lightweight, able to cast 3 oz sinkers, and decent quality. I think I'm leaning towards the emcast as it is a rod I've felt before and enjoyed. Furthermore it has more guides which will allow it to cast further. If any of yall have tried these rods please let me know any information you have. Thanks Okuma Rockaway 11' -10.6 oz -6+1 guides -Originally $130 but on sale for $77 Daiwa Emcast 11' -unknown but still extremely light -8 guides -$90

Looking to sell some reels that I’ve collected over the years and were barely used. All are in great shape - no visible scrapes, gauges or nicks except for the Shimano that has slight marks from the rod reel seat. All payment via PayPal FF or in person in SE/Central CT. 1. Daiwa Laguna LT4000c - loaded with 20# braid (can’t remember the brand) - super light and very smooth for a budget reel - $35 shipped 2. Shimano Spheros SW 4000xg - great reel but I have a Vanford and Stradic so this one just sits. Comes with box. $70 shipped 3. Penn Pursuit 2 and 3 4k - selling as a lot. These were probably fished 2 or 3x each for porgies from a pier. $50 shipped thanks for looking!

Bought a year ago but unfortunately not a lot of time to fish. Used less than 10 hours. Comes with extra eva power knob. PRICE: $300 + Shipping Located in Vero Beach, FL 32963

Team Daiwa Fuego, Left hand retrieve. Filled with 15 Lb Power Pro. Line capacity - 120 yards of 12 lb test, 100 Yards 14 lb test. Gear ratio 6.3:1, Weight 7.6 ounces. Local pickup / meet in North Jersey. $80.00.

Thinning out the backup reel collection. This is a like new Daiwa Certate LT 5000D (US Model). Took this out for one trip and took all the line off and cleaned the reel and back in the box. My primary one is holding strong so won't be needing this one. The only blemish I could find is the EVA foam knob looked like a hook went into it briefly leaving a tiny dent. Wasn't able to show this in the pictures. This reel model is one of the best I've ever owned with unparalleled smoothness. Price: $425 shipped.

Looking for an EXCELLENT to LIKE NEW Certate 8000h...checking to see if anyone has one they are not using. US version please. Thank you

Looking for another one of these, half the JP stores are out of stock, or charging an arm/leg for retail + overseas shipping.... It's the larger sized neoprene cover with a reel handle pouch. Please and thank ye

Bought a few weeks ago thinking I'd have the time to really get into swimbait fishing, but that doesn't look like it's happening lol. Rod is a Daiwa DX extra heavy rated 3-10 oz. Used maybe 3 times and is basically brand new. Reel and bait not included. This would also make a great bottom fishing rod if you don't mind the 8 foot length. Asking $85 picked up in or near Hull MA 02045. More pics if you need em. Thanks!

got these for a guy. bought from hedgehog shop in japan. he didnt want them afterwards. some cussing and words later. i let it go. got them in black as it blends well with most reels. i just put it on a reel to demonstrate how it looks or its purpose. You can see how it lifts the reel up off the bottom. want to sell. i have no use for it personal. My boat reels uses similar but with line clips instead. reel stands are nice to stand your reel off the ground, sand, concrete, whatever. protects it from ALOT of scuffs marks when laying rods down. $12 shipped. no need to order from japan and pay like $30 shipping. take all 3 for $30 shipped. PPFF venmo zelle fits the reels ill list underneath. please make sure you have a model on the list with a Type A size hole. generally smaller size reels, fw, inshore sizes. i cant confirm other fitments, daiwa and shimano uses a standard thread for those reels. which is classes as Type A. the diameter of the threads are 11MM.

Have a BNIB ‘20 Saltiga 20000-H I am looking to either trade or sell. This reel is not the best fit for what I will be using it for. I don’t have to get rid of this reel and may still keep it, I just prefer something with a lower retrieval speed. Sell - $900 + ship (to be calculated) Trade - Looking for Stella 20k *** If new Stella, I am willing to add cash as there is a clear price difference from one to the other *** Will absolutely consider a used Stella and will discuss trade details with anyone interested I have not even cracked the box yet, if I get any serious inquiries, I’ll open box for additional photos. - Andrew

Looking to trade my Brand New Never used HIGH GEAR 5.7:1 Daiwa Certate 6000 for the LOW GEAR 4.9:1 Daiwa Certate 6000-P I would ask for similar condition or like new, preferably never used for a straight up trade. thank you.

Hey just wondering if someone can give me some insight in the new zillion or another baitcaster for boat/kayak fishing in the salt. I’m a freshwater fisherman mainly so the second I hit the salt I’m out of my element. I about put half of my guides tackle in the mangroves. So I’m looking for a low profile baitcaster that can make me feel at home when I’m casting towards the mangroves or other structure. I’ve been looking into the Daiwa zillion sv tw. Aluminum body should help and although it is not that important I’m a sucker for the clicking drag. Sorry if the post seems stupid just curious if anyone has any experience with the zillion or other ideas. Hope all is well. -Ben

Got my black friday Caldia SW a week ago but wonder what size it actually is. Its the 5000D-CXH (left reel) and the Certate LT is a 3000-XH (on the right). I´m not asking respective rotor and spool, which of course is much bigger for the 54mm spool (Certate=48mm) but what body and gear the Caldia SW actually holds. Keep in mind both the Certate 5000D-XH and Caldia SW 5000D-CXH are the same weight with the same spool dimension and both aluminum. I´m pretty sure that both my reels are 3000 size, but what brings that 45g compared to Certate LT5000D-CXH? Maybe a more heavy duty version like Saltist or Certate SW in smaller sizes, thicker frame and rotor? https://www-daiwa-com.translate.goog/jp/fishing/item/reel/spin_rl/certate16a/index.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product_info/language/en/products_id/63040/cPath/4027_4029_4033_7046/reel/daiwa-2022-caldia-sw-5000d-cxh-free-shipping.html
