            These Daiwa Infeet reels literally arrived days before the Daiwa 2022 catalogue was going to print, and they were final samples so needed a fair bit of work to get them cleaned up for catalogue and web. In the end they look great and compliment the rod series...

          The Daiwa TD Black has been around since the mid 2000’s. Over the years its had many variations with the latest model being the most technically advanced model to date. Matt black reels with metallic black components aren’t that simple to photography, realistically you need to over expose the...
