Best Daiwa Fishing Supplies
Diawa Exceler DA 2000 Review – I've had the 2000 model for about 2 years and it cannot be faulted. Sold to me at the fishing store as a low-cost entry into finesse bream fishing.… Read more
Unless you're a pro tournament angler or have money to waste, then you should buy one of these. Lighter and way cheaper than any Shimano equivalents. And if you use it for bream, etc, it'll have no problems. Obviously not a Stella but at about $160 as opposed to $800 its affordable. I use mine with 4lb flourocarbon on one spool, 6lb braid on the other (came with 2 spools). These reels are probably now old stock though as I don't see them at fishing stores. Diawa has a new model - Aird - which is not metal body (but I've found you really do not need that in a small reel anyway) and so its light, is a funky metallic orange (that's different!), way fast (6.2:1) and has 9 bearings and Digigear. Seems to sell for $129 but I got two (the 2500/3000 and the 3500/4000) on special at BCF for $99 each. BARGAIN. Was gonna get two Exceler DAs on clearance for $120 each at another store (the only store I've seen them in lately) but decided I'd rather the speed and extra bearings of the Aird over the metal body Excelers. So unless you need speed (the Exceler is about 4.7:1 - not much line cranked in per turn, being a small spool, but fine for finesse breaming, etc) and if you like the idea of a metal body, I'd recommend the Exceler DA if you can grab one on clearance for $100 or so. quality, reliability, light weight, price not fast - no prob for the 2000 or 3000 but if you wanna saltwater spin, it may be slow in the 4000 size
little pocket rocket – This light weight reel is a little beauty, it punches way above it's weight. I'ved used it for a variety of fishing from bream, whiting, salmon to… Read more
shallow water snappers. The more I use it the more it grows on me. The aesthetic about it is just beautiful. This has to be one of my favourite reel. It's one of those reel that always put a smile on your face even when the fish aint biting. She's a gem. silky smoothness, sound of the drag when she screems, feels light but tough for it's size and just the unigue styling.

receipt and the place I bought had closed down. Talked to [Name Removed] who is the worst customer service with no intention to help and requested to pay for the snap part. Please don't buy Daiwa rod.
I have just had a fishing session completely destroyed by a cr>p quality fishing braid. This braid is ridiculous for wind knots, I have never had… Read more
worse than this. I literally could not get more than three casts without a wind knot. Three quarters of my two hours was spent fixing a mess. I cannot believe that this braid got good reviews. It is totally unusable and a waste of $42. My berkely crystal braid will be getting returned to the spool, it doesn't fold on itself like cheap sewing thread.
