A Precision Tool For Any Angler -- Daiwa Fishing Reels
I can remember my first experience with Daiwa fishing reels -- it was an inexpensive Daiwa spincasting reel that had belonged to my father. I used it for many years, and never had a bit of problem with it -- even though as a young person I subjected it to a fair amount of abuse! But that's par for the course: Daiwa fishing reels are precision-made instruments, yet they can handle the rigors of outdoor angling.
So let me begin with the kids -- specifically, if you need to purchase a fishing reel for them. For them you need a fishing reel that is not too expensive, but which will still function without major problems (poor-quality reels usually don't work very smoothly, and this can really frustrate kids a lot and discourage them from taking up fishing as a hobby). If you're looking for a Daiwa fishing reel for a young person you know, may I suggest the Daiwa Minicast 40 Spincasting fishing reel. It is very reasonably priced at $26.99, and it's made very durably -- a metal construction, rather than plastic (which is so common with cheap-quality reels). This Daiwa fishing reel can be used for either right- or left-hand operation, and features a dial drag.
Here's another great set for any beginner: the Daiwa D-Wave Spin Combo. This set includes a Daiwa fishing reel (a 3-BB type) and a 7-foot, 2- piece graphite rod -- both perfectly balanced and matched to work efficiently together. The rod is a graphite rod with aluminum oxide line guides and a stainless-steel hooded real seat with grips manufactured from EVA foam. The Daiwa fishing reel included in this set has 3 stainless-steel BB and 1 RB. It features an infinite anti-reverse, graphite body, tin bail and line roller and aluminum fishing line spool. This Daiwa fishing reel and rod combo normally sells for $49.35.
If you are a saltwater fishermen, you might be interested in Daiwa's new Saltwater Rod-n-Reel Combo. An excellent value (priced at only $54.99), it includes an 8-foot medium-heavy action Daiwa rod (a Daiwa D Force rod) paired with a South Bend Infinity reel. While this is not a Daiwa fishing reel, the South Bend Infinity Reel features a Ball-bearing drive and is big enough to hold a line spool with up to 190-yards of 35-pound test line. If you're into baitcasting, you simply can't do better than the Daiwa "Millionaire" S Series S-250 baitcasting reel. Priced at $44.95, this Daiwa fishing reel features an aluminum alloy take-up spool, and a Centriflex automatic centrifugal spool brake for easier and smoother casting all through the day. In addition this Daiwa fishing reel is very durable: it is constructed with a rigid, 1 piece frame made from anodized aluminum which is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salt water. Finally, let's not forget the fly fisherman -- and an excellent Daiwa fly fishing reel is their Daiwa Lochmor-S Fly Reel. This Daiwa fishing reel is made from high-grade aluminum alloys and is designed to be used with size 7/8 fly fishing line. The clutch on this Daiwa fly fishing reel is reversible -- both righties and lefties can use it. Priced at only $51.54, this hand-cranked fly Reel would be an excellent gift -- or you can just buy one for yourself!
