Daiwa Coastal inshore reel

I recently purchased a Daiwa Coastal inshore baitcasting reel and matched it with a Falcon Coastal rod and I'm very satisfied with this set-up. I live in South Louisiana and fish mostly inshore bays for redfish and speckled trout. This reel is basically a bass-style reel with a few enhancements to last longer in a salt water environment. Very smooth reel with a good drag and the Falcon rod is the best that I've ever used. I took a chance on this reel because I haven't heard much about them, but so far so good. I've caught nice sized speckled trout and even a 18lb bull red which the reel handled great. I typically fish with Ambassedeurs, but this reel is much lighter and smoother. I hope it can withstand the saltwater conditions that I fish in.

Thumbs up

Sounds like a winner combo!
90% of my reels are Daiwa (love them) and I have one high speed Procaster Tour model that I just love to use for walking the dog with a Rapala Skitter walk



And with that high speed reel, it makes that surface walking much easier for sure... I use salt away on all my gear afterwards and even though not designed for saltwater use, they seem to hold up very well.

So I need to check out those newer inshore models for sure! Keep us updated on how it works on them big bull reds you all have (I'm jealous) up there!

Tight Lines!
