Not worth the buy....,
November 29, 2008
By keg0311
"I bought one of these reels and one of the tierra's. Went home and was practicing with them both. The tierra was great then I tried this reel and it sounded terrible when casting. It sounded like all the gears where going to break and come flying out the reel or something. I should have listened to all the reviews. Needless to say I am bring it back and getting another tierra."

Not the greatest DIAWA product out there!,
October 28, 2008
By rbaquialfrom Toronto, ONT
"The main problems I have with this reel...
1) When I 1st used it, the gears would grind on casts... at 1st I thought it was just me, but after having buddies use it, they realized it was the reel, and not how I was using it. After a few uses, the grind disappeared. (I don't know how - it just did)
2) The biggest problem I have with this reel - after a couple hours of fishing, the clutch does not dis-engage itself. I would literally have to lift the "clutch" to dis-engage it (rather than turning the reel handle, to dis-engage it that way).
3) Overall, I am somewhat unsatisfied with this product. I don't know if what I got was a "dud", but something to keep in mind."

"This is a great reel. My others baitcasts have taken a back seat to this reel. I purchased this reel about 6 months ago and it still performs great. #1 rod I own.Pulls in 4 pounders like nothing. I'm tempted to try the Zillion since everybody says its the best Diawa makes."

Surprised!,
August 28, 2008
By Angler88from South Florida
"First off, I'm not very big on Diawa's braking system (they use the exact same concept in ALL their reels) from the $450.00 'Steez' right down to the $60.00 Megaforce, just higher grade magnets in the upper end models. I just don't feel it offers enough adjustment. I [think] the Steez also has a six pin, which I believe to be essential to fine tune spool control. But with that said, I was surprised to find that it IS pretty smooth in this model. It's probably the coolest looking reel I've used, and 'spews' performance just looking at it. (the photos don't do it any justice) as the reel is a charcoal color, almost carbon fiber looking, with jet black spool, retrieve handle, and the little slotted part that covers the line guide over the worm shaft. It seems Diawa also makes 2 different size reels as far as the frame and side covers...small, and smaller! This is the smaller one...like the 'Sol, Zillions, Fuego etc. (the other size is like the Mega Force, Pro Caster etc.) and this sits so nice inside my palm, I almost don't notice it's there! I have to say, it's actually smaller than my 'Revos'. It doesn't take too many casts to get it adjusted to changes in baits, lines, and meteorological conditions (wind), and when it is ready....2,3, maybe 4 casts, it IS ready! Incredibly smooth casting and retrieving, which you would expect with 11 bearings, but I was very pleased to find one of the smoothest drags systems of all my reels, better than my Shimanos, and right up there with my BPS J.M. Signature Series, and Revo's, AND smoother than my $250.00 Ardent XS1000! It is an 8 disc system, and you can tell through out the entire drag spectrum. Very, very smooth, and strong. I had to clamp it down to wrestle a 7 pound Peacock with ease! And she was pretty angry (at herself) for hammering my Spro, Lil' John 'Cell Mate' cranker. I must have swept it right over the nest, because she tore about 15-20 feet of line of the spool before I had the chance to thumb the drag star, which tightened down like butter. I currently have it on a 6' 9" MH AirRus 'Puls-R', but it handles cranks so well, it will probably end up on my BPS 'Rick Clun' Sig. Series 6' 6" MH 'Crankin' Stik'. Diawa really impressed me with this unit, which isn't easy...I use ONLY low profile bait cast reels, and use lot's of them 6-7 hours a day, EVERY day, and this TD-Pro (exclusive to BPS clientel, by the way) will be one that receives daily abuse! I haven't dissected it yet....something I do with ALL my reels once I decide I'm gonna' keep it....to see what makes it tick. I'm particularly curious to inspect the drag system. This is an exceptional value for a reel of this quality. I would highly recommend purchasing one. I believe you will be as happy with yours as I have been with mine. Fish On!"

Not a good choice,
July 23, 2008
By DerrickS
"I read all the other reviews and ignored them thinking i wouldnt have the same luck. I bought this reel and immediately went fishing and about after the 10th cast the reel started squeaking really bad i even tried putting some Hot Sauce on it but it still squeaked. The only thing cool about this reel is its looks."

SMOOTH,
June 29, 2008
By papajoe222from chicago, IL
"I held off writing a review on this one after reading some of the other negative ones. After three months of flawless performance, I gotta say this is the nicest Daiwa I have in my collection. It casts a mile, is super smooth on the retrieve and has held up to the demands that I put on my equipment. I'll be getting another as soon as the wallet can provide for one. Given the asking price, it won't be long."

"Pappa Zillion met Miss Sol and this is the offspring. I love the Sol and the Zillion, so, I could not pass this one up. I ordered one and it performs perfectly, quiet, smooth and powerful. I am definitely ordering more of these reels."

Giant Let Down,
March 24, 2008
By Crankbaitfrom Georgia
"After 6 days of fishing with this reel the gears were shot. Luck they only had 2 when I purchased them, or I would have gotten 8 just on looks, feel and the Diawa connection alone. Both reels started making noise after a few days and then the gears were completely gone on day six."

"Recieved my daiwa pro on Monday, spooled it up with 10 pound trilene. On the lake Wendsday, decided to break out my new very nice looking reel. First cast and i was bummed, when casting this reel sputtered loudly. Im sending it back tomorrow and going to spend the extra money and buy another zillion...."

Excellent reel for the money,
February 27, 2008
By DennisHPfrom South Florida
"I own a Zillion and a TD-Z. The TD-Pro compares quite favorably with both of those reels. Granted, the TD-Pro isn't a TD-Z or a Zillion, but it's solid, butter smooth and an excellent addition to the Daiwa Line of reels. The Japanese equivlent to this reel is called the Aggrest and sells for approx $187 at today's exchange rate. The Japanese version has 4 less bearings (which are in handle knobs in the TD-Pro) and has some cosmetic differences. This makes the TD-Pro quite a bargain when compared to the Aggrest. However, Daiwa also makes a reel called the Exceler (is sold in the USA) and retails for $69.99. It has the same specs as the Japanese Aggrest and bearing count..it looks identical to the TD-Pro although with a slightly ligher color finish. Your decision is whether the 4 extra bearings in the TD-Pro are worth the extra $50. Having upgraded my reels with handles, Knobs and bearings.....the $50 extra is not a bad deal."

Great reel/Great price,
February 20, 2008
By Sailorfrom Pasadena, MD
"After picking up the Zillion and falling in love with it, I just knew I had to try the new BPS exclusive TD-Pro. Ergonomic, smooth, and overall just a great reel. I've owned Quantum PT's and Tour editions and this beats them in every aspect, especially price. It's no Zillion, but good enough to be called it's little brother."

February 19, 2008
By BC08from Creedmoor, NC
"I own 7 baitcaster reels and all of them are shimano (New and old Curado's and older calais), and i just wanted to try something different...So I ordered the very stylish TD-Pro by Team Daiwa and just received it today...Very disapointed....Sounds like an ocean when retreiving...its somewhat smooth but it was the loudest reel i've ever picked up...Im sending it back and puttin a little more money in to get the Team Daiwa Fuego...if this doesn't work im sticking with shimano."
