2022 Daiwa Silver Creek Air TW Stream Custom

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

I think I will pass on this one. I use the Steez Air, recent Alphas Air and Gekkabijin. I normally just bring one reel with extra roro spools and should be covered for now.

It looks nice but I doubt that will much better than the mentioned reels.
I do like the Roro AX24 spool in the Alphas AIR TW or Gekkabijin for streams. I am mostly curious to see how the Silver Creek compares and, also need to live the TackleTour way and collect every reel based on the same frame. Got the rest of the Alphas TW framed reels, why not add one more πŸ˜‚.

For real though, I didn't have high hopes for the Gekkabijin...until I used one. That reel wasn't supposed to be much different than the Alphas AIR TW but...that reel is great without taking anything away from the Alphas AIR TW.

I think I'm not going to buy this reel despite of nice color of it. I have GekkaBijin with Roro AX24 (and Chamelleon) spools. But I might buy spool of Air Stream Custom. But probably there's not much difference from AX24.

I really like the Roro AX24. Daiwa has been releasing some very great and innovative BFS reels lately. I am getting this reel regardless. Can be my dedicated stream reel and the Gekkabijin can be for open water.

Yeah, that way those are supposed to be used :) But I think difference of magnetic brakes between Air, Gekkabijin Air and Air Stream Custom is purely from spool. For stream fishing AX24 feels better than GekkaBijin original spool.

Gekkabijin was designed for long casting ajing lures. I am not entirely sure if the magnets will be different. Alphas will be an all around options. Silver Creek being short range.

Its like Shimano forgot to release fishing reels? Everything that's coming out and looking good is from Daiwa as of late.

My reel should arrive Monday and now im thinking of a rod to pair with the reel. As of right now since it has cork knobs, im thinking of the p5 siglett rod. My buddy has that rod that he used for trout last year and surprisingly it fishes quite nicely.
