Older Daiwa 7.x ratio reels

[Drew03cmc]

I've found and fallen in love with the older TDS/X reels, but they're all 6.3 or slower. Are there any available in a 7.x ratio? I'd be interested in looking at them and, eventually, buying one. These reels just sit on the rod and in my hand perfectly. The weight is not excessive and I find it comfortable.

I don’t think so

I don't think it is too hard to find gear sets, assuming they are compatible.

[Drew03cmc]

I guess I'll have to look for some gearsets.

I'm a huge fan of the old tdx reels too. Unfortunately there aren't any faster gears that'll fit that I'm aware of.

[DirtyD64]

Yeah, unfortunately after looking more into what you meant by older, I am not sure any faster sets exist that I know. The TDX reels are interesting looking though, I like looking at reels that were before my time as a serious angler. I have always liked that one strange looking older Daiwa with the weird clutch/thumb bar.

Back then, 6 ratios were the "high speed".

The TD-Z was a step up from the TD-X. http://jdmfishing.com/daiwa/td-z/

There is one gear set available for the LH TDZ 103ML/100ML, and it is a 7.1:1 ratio available from The Tackle Trap.

If you like the size/shape of the TD-Z/TD-X/TD-S, then have a look at the original Daiwa Zillion. Same shape/size and available in faster ratios.

I'll have to look at that Zillion then. Thanks!
