Bought another TP in the 6000 size. Was going back and forth in my head between the TP and Certate but ultimately i went with the TP. The "click" feel when opening the bail on the TP is more to my liking. Especially when you make you make 200+ casts from the shore in a single outing like i do. Another think i like about the TP is the connection between the handle and reel. The TP has a cover which i assume helps keeps water intrusion out.
Do you see any difference in length of your casts between the reels?

not really. about the same. i think castability has more to do with the rod and line rathan than the reel when you get to this level of a reel
Yeah I think the SW line is much closer to the Saltigas than the LT line. There’s a 5000 size in each lineup, right? But a big difference in weight between the two as well as drag and maybe line capacity.
I’ve got a 3k one I use for freshwater. Awesome little reel. Don’t own any SW certates though.

Yeah, SW's are beefier for sure. They have the "tough air bail" or and "perfect line stopper". I am just kind of sick of all the marketing crap Daiwa uses lately, and i have issues with magseal and serviceability. So i traded it in for a 13` Stella SW. No issues with stella's or twinpowers so far.
Funny, I used to be a shimano guy almost exclusively. Used to buy TwinPowers from Japan before they made that model available here in the US and used to fish a Stella in the salt before the SW versions came out. Nowadays I’ve skewed towards Daiwa. Love the MQ designs, but the slow transition to daiwa started back with a tournament z reel and has sort of snowballed since.
The whole mag seal thing doesn’t really bother me. In fact I was kind of caught up with the novelty of it when it first made its way into the Saltigas. Maintaining mag-sealed reels doesn’t worry me any more.
To be fair I really haven’t used a modern high-end shimano - have just kind of been sticking with daiwas. Either way, both companies )and others) are putting out some pretty amazing spinning gear these days.

Yea for sure, nothing against Daiwa. Just saying Mid summer when the YFT bite is strong and my Saltiga starts making noise, its about a 2 week turn around time for Daiwa service. Shimano i can take it apart myself or ask a local guy for half the price. Anyway, try out the newer Stella's. they are money. Especially the bail feel. Love it.
You can take apart a mag-sealed reel and clean it. The reel will still work fine even if you don’t replace the special oil. It just won’t be as water resistant as it was before you stripped the mag oil off. You can source mag oil from the same mfgr daiwa uses too (might not be the exact same formula though) if you really want to DIY. Opening an MQ reel requires a special tool though.

For the ferrofluid, the same company that supplies Daiwa also supplies speaker manufacturers. While daiwa doesn’t make theirs available to consumers, you can find the stuff out there from the speaker industry. Lots of garbage products out there too, though. So best to do your research on what you’re buying.MF Magnetic Fluid Oil For Daiwa Mag Sealed Reel Steez Certate Exist etc.. | eBay

They are actually using different strength ferrofluid for line roller and the rotor.the roller can hold 40gr of weight while he rotor only 27 if not mistaken. seen the video made by reel spa who is an authorised daiwa service agent.
