THE 'TEAM DAIWA ADVANTAGE' SERIES



"Light and Tough" and built to last,


Just thought I would add a feature on KFA of my favourite rods and reels to use from the yak, the Team Daiwa Advantage series. I am lucky enough to own many rods and reels from Daiwa in various sizes, along with more expensive brands. They are my preferred option when fishing for native’s species like Golden Perch or heading offshore and trolling for Snapper. With the new Team Daiwa Advantage 3 series rods being made up of multiple pieces they are perfect for travelling and pack away in purpose built rod tubes in my luggage or the car.

Team Daiwa Advantage 3 :

The TDA match up of namesake products delivers a great performance. With fast and medium actions the rods are perfect for larger bodied fish that fight deep rather than take to the air, add to that the spin range in a length of 7' 0" you have a match made in heaven. The high modulus make up featuring the "Light and Tough" design is coupled with high quality Fuji components and EVA grips. With everything from Bream to Barra in mind these are smart, travelling alternatives to similar one piece models with light, medium light, medium and medium heavy line ratings available. Used exclusively by the Hobie State Fishing Team members, you can be sure they work well under stress and have shown great face in the tough competition market.

"The latest generation spin and baitcasters reels from Daiwa the TD Advantage need the latest range of matching balanced rods with tried and tested blanks. The new generation TD Advantage rods are built on a re-designed version of the world famous “Light and Tough” blanks. Built for ultimate performance and designed to withstand the demands of today’s angling requirements, the TD Advantage rods are perfect choice for the serious angler. With such a diverse range of reel sizes and models available the Advantage range of rods can be easily matched and balanced, no matter what the fishing situation. One thing for sure if you want the angling advantage you need the Team Daiwa Advantage".

Super performance “Light and Tough” high modulus carbon blanks, Fuji CYSG and CLSG new concept chrome silicone carbide guides, Daiwa’s ergonomic reel seats, Ultra hard EVA grips, Technique specific actions, Matched perfectly to the TD Advantage spinning and baitcaster reels.

Team Daiwa Advantage reels :

Having owned a 2500 TDA and a TDA 153HST since their inception I can only report good things come in cheaper packages. The spinning version at first glance seems to lack some of the key features rated so highly in the SOL series, however once the handle is spun and the drag enforced the comparison narrows to almost non existent. Blindfold me and test me on this one, I can pretty much guarantee I wont be able to tell the difference ( Apart from my SOL needing a good service ) its that good. Caught many personal bests using the 2500 and never felt undergunned, even on light line and a 7 kilo + Snapper pulling hard.

"The name TD Advantage has been around for years and has built an enviable reputation for outstanding quality, in 2007 the new Advantage is now available. TD Advantage reels put a winning combination of strength, durability and ultra smooth performance on your side. Six ball bearings inc. 2 CRBB, plus a rugged computer die-cast aluminium construction make these reels ideal for both freshwater and saltwater use. The long cast X-treme ABS system will let you reach the distant spots with even the lightest lures. And when you do hook up, you can count on the super consistent sealed drag to provide reliable fish stopping power. The new TD Advantage reels deserve the best rods and in spring 2007, the new TD Advantage rod range is available".
