Daiwa Tierra

G'day all,
Im looking to upgrade reel and thought this could be allright. How do these reels go? Or is there others at this price or less and they are as good? It will be going on a Samaki Zing.

Cheers Liam.

What's the price on them? 200? You can pick up a ci4 for 239$.

I've seen the Tierra for about $170-180 i reckon save a bit extra and get a ci4, great reels. Although have not used a Tierra.

$190, dont have enough to go over and I really want a daiwa.

What's wrong with Shimano

I had one quite awhile back, mine came with a really sticky drag wasn't impressed to say the least. And after a few days of use the anti-reverse started to go. Don't know if I just got a dodgy one, but still wasn't impressed. Mate, Mo Tackle have got Stradic FI's going for $159.00, much more of a solid reel then the Tierra's IMO.

I want something different, What about a Supreme XTS $200 on Mo.

theres a new daiwa coming out under $100 its called the aird, comes in 2000 size or the gekkabijin mx 2004 for $200 check out the daiwa site for details

LiamLannen · #9 11-08-2011, 07:19 AM

thanks mate will look into it.

LiamLannen · #10 11-08-2011, 07:38 AM

how about Exceler TSH-DA?

Bream lust · #11 11-08-2011, 07:45 AM

Mate as yakkindan said go the ''Diawa'' gekkabijin mx 2004 for $200 they are a great little reel

LiamLannen · #12 11-08-2011, 07:47 AM

will the 2004 go good on the Zing? And the will the shallow spool make a difference?

Grab the tierra liam..they are bullet proof...have that slight V shaped line lay which eliminates tangles and they are affordable.

dont waste your money on a Ci4 or a stradic

Thanks for the opinion everyone

I could spend $10 more for a gekka? What would you perfer?

bender · #15 11-08-2011, 08:03 AM

i didnt like the gekka...it had too much play in the handle...i picked up 3 all up and they all had play..but at least the spool main shaft didnt move in and out of the reel body like every CI4 and stradic i picked up
