Submitted by Bruzoandnicko on Wed, 2014-03-12 11:10
Daiwa Demon Blood
Model number DB60–2/3
Overhead 1 piece PE2/3 - Fast taper
Daiwa Pluton 200H w/ Daiwa Saltiga PE2 Braid
Any one have anything similar and can tell me if they like it?
Sounds like a pretty sweet combo, was going to go with a TR mytho instead of the demon blood but will maybe upgrade later...
I work with Jeff swears by it, does anyone have a video would be cool to see if anyone has one laying around :)
Cheers guys.

I think that rod would be overkill
Pluton's don't have all that much drag pressure as they are really just a beefed up baitcaster.
i think you would be going down the overkill path with pe2 -3 rod matched to it.
i would be thinking something along the lines of a bay rubber rod instead.

The mytho is by far the nicest rod ive used. And ive got a jm evo ti and a saltiga coastal and have used plenty of others including the demon blood and ns magic eyes. Worth the price straight out. Cant comment on the pluton I havent used one. But the calcuttas are nice.
there was a goid vid of tge temple reef on youtube I watched tge other day. Ill try and find it.

+1 for Mytho
I have the PE 1.2 - 3 spin rod matched to a Stella 4000 and it is a fantastic rod - love it!! Also have a Saltiga 62S PE2-3 which is also a very nice rod that has been punished by some pretty big fish - still prefer the Mytho. Hope you get some good feedback on the outfit you're looking for.

Video
Found this video the other day of the mytho and a doggie, pretty awesome fish caught on a rod as thin as a bream rod haha.

The rod would be a little thick I reckon, I've got my Pluton on a saltiga coastal 60b for inshore jigging and love it also added a Ryoga power handle to it and love it, I think the 200sh may be a little better, I've got 30lb whiplash on mine to help with line capacity, as far as drag goes I find the Pluton locks down nicely.

It might be worth lashing
It might be worth lashing out and getting the Ryoga Bay Jigger instead of the Pluton. Far better reel. My wife has one on a Jigwrex and it is an absolutely brilliant outfit.
I can post up the differences if you like.

They certainly look the goods Bunny, double the drag, power handle plus a few other improvements, I see japantackle has them for preorder for $555 usd, not a huge jump in price for a local Pluton.

Pluton and ryonga bay jigger
Pluton and ryonga bay jigger both have 7kg drag? Unless you go up to one of the large models which has 10kg. Or did I read the wrong thing?
The 35lb line is overkill but it would just be to thumb the spool if need be when over heavy structure. - better looking at it then looking for it...

The Ryoga 2020, Ryoga bay
The Ryoga 2020, Ryoga bay jigger 2025 and Pluton 200 are all the same size overall but the 2025 has a deeper spool.

The 2020 Ryoga is what we
The 2020 Ryoga is what we have and it is small. About a Saltiga 15 (which no longer exist). At the time tehy wer nto making the 2025 which would have been a better reel for us for the extra line capacity it gives.
