New Daiwa reels

Post by dustlane » Sun Jun 17, 2007 6:14 pm

All I can say is WOW! These reels look like they will be exactly what Daiwa needs to sway some hardcore Shimano guys their way. From what I can tell, they have covered all the bases as far as updates, improvements, facelifts, etc. I can't wait to see the prices! 8-)

The new advantage cast and spin reels look like definite winners.

Good lineup. Glad that Daiwa is always introducing the lefties with the righties now. (Now if rod companies also start making a good selection of light power and multi-piece rods... ;) )

Kinda disappointed in a way though :( No 1000-size TD-A spinner. And no presso or pixy? Com'on Daiwa. Make one of my dreams come true. Am I asking too much? :big grin:

I'd like to try the new Supertuned TDA...sounded like some nice improvements/upgrades were made to an already nice reel. The price point will be the deciding factor though.

The TD Advantage supertuned reel will be around $150. ;)

This season more than any other Daiwa seems to have spent a lot of time in the mid range. A lot of these new reels will be priced aggressively. The same can be said about the new lineup of rods as well targeting mainstream anglers.

They did not seem to put a lot in the looks department. They look very plain. IMO, nothing to get excited about. :(

But then again, I don't have to worry about spending money on the new stuff. :lol:

Are they going to have any rods over 7’?

Wanted to try their rods several times, but at 7’ and under they are just too short for me. Last winter I acquired Daiwa Morethan rod (9’, M) from Japan and been more than happy with it. The rod is built and designed for Seabass but it works amazing on SMB, steelhead and walleye..
