Daiwa TD Black Reel LT Spin Buyer’s Guide
There are six size options with the series. The smallest starts at 2000 for finesse applications, up to the 6000 which covers a broader class of fish from the beach, rocks and a range of sports style fishing outside the heads. Below we will detail a little extra info on the sizes.
Small Size Class – the 2000 and 2500 are the small sizes in the TD Black series. These two sizes are ideal for light fishing situations. Where they excel is fishing estuary and lake systems. Species you may encounter, or target is bream, whiting, trout, bass, perch and other light fish classes.
Generally, 6ft-7ft graphite fishing rods are ideally suited for either the 2000 or 2500 size. A rod with a line class rating about the 2-5kg class will be perfect.
Medium Size Class – Starting with the 3000 model, this could classify as either a small or medium reel. It’s categorically an intermediate size. Why you would choose a 3000 size over 2500 will equate to your line capacity decision. The 3000 will embrace additional line or support a sturdier classification of braided or mono fishing line.
It’s a size that will suit mid to heavyweight estuary fishing should you wish to up-spec your line class.
In terms of fishing rod choice for a 3000 size TD Black, generally, we suggest picking a graphite rod with a rating close to 3-6kg in length between 6-8ft.
4000 and 5000 models are the next levels up in size. Either of these two models excel as ideal heavyweight inshore fishing reels. Perfect for the angler who targets cod, barra, queenfish, mulloway and a host of other mid-class fish.
Another thought for either 4000 or 500 sizes is that they also excel at light offshore fishing for snapper and other reef fish using either flesh baits or soft plastic lures.
Your choice between the two sizes is determined by the line class or amount of line you wish to spool onto the reel arbour. Rod wise they’ll generally suit short boat rods and shore spin or light surf rod that rate around 5-10kg or thereabouts.
Large Size Class – It’s quite simple in this class as there is only one to pick from, a 6000 size. Perfect for a few fishing styles which include, beach, rock or offshore boat fishing.
Ideally, a fishing rod with a rating of approximately 8-10kg+ means it should match well to the 6000 TD Black. Beach or rock rods generally range from 9-12ft in length and boat rods 6-7ft.
Benefits
- The new LT Concept body and spool not only looks fantastic but make it the lightest, most robust, most reliable and most advanced spin reel of the Black spin reel lineage. The new strength facilitates the use of much stronger PE line classes.
- Daiwa’s famous Magseal keeps dust, water and other undesirables such as sand from making its way into the critical working parts, increasing the working life of your reel.
- The ATD drag system helps provide a level of assurance that we don’t lose fish on hook-up owing to the reduced start-up inertia, protecting light lines from aggressive strikes.
- Air Rotor helps mitigate the transmission of vibration and delivers a perfectly balanced rotor, especially under load.
- Thanks to larger gears with smaller teeth Tough Digigear is now 50% stronger than the previous and highly successful Digigear II.
