Hi all,
I just order a new custom rod from a local tackle shop for hard body. The rod is 7' 2 piece 4-10lb . Now I need a reel to suit it.
Really need some advice. Please help.

The Jap spec Daiwa stuff is only avaliable through stores with Daiwa "Tournament Dealer" status, of which there's 6 in Sydney, they can't be listed here because Breammaster is a store and it's against site policies (fair enough).

The prices of the "tournament' items are set my Daiwa Australia and they aint cheap. These Items include, Luvias, Certate, Airity, Sol, TD-Z, Heartland-Z, TD-Battlers, Saltiga rods and a few others I can't think of at the moment...

I'll probably cop abuse for this, but it's a lot cheaper to get the jap spec reels direct forom Japan. That's all I'll say about that, don't bother asking me for the websites.
