Rod feedback Daiwa Torny.

[dicky123]

Just a bit of feedback regarding rod I brought recently.

I've only had two chances to use the rod at 10'. Catching around 20 carp to 7lb over two days. The rod performed with consummate ease, so a big cheers to those that offered advice to me about it.

I'd imagine it has a touch more power at 11' but that's just my guess. A double figure carp would really put it through it's paces, cannot wait.

If anyone is contemplating buying one of these expensive Tournament rods I can only say I think you get what you pay for. My Drennan rods are nice, but the Daiwa has something in the feel about it that I'd find hard to describe. I have the similar rod but in a 13' float rod that too has that something? I've termed it with a new Shimano Aero Ci4 4000 fa. Together a amazing combo. The reel drag is as good as my Daiwa's in my humble opinion.

Again thanks all.

The Spectron is so good that the Tournament must be damn near perfect, with its durable Megatop quivers and superior blank. My own experiences with the 9/10 indicate that there's a fair amount of extra oomph to be had by adding the extra foot, making these rods incredibly flexible in their range of uses. In fact, I haven't had to use another quiver rod since mine arrived, although I rarely fish rivers or at extreme distance, so hardly need any more than the rod provides. Damn fine tools.

I have both 10 and 11 ft Touneys. The ten footer is my go to rod and I have easily handled carp to 18lb. The action of the 11ft is if anything softer than its little brother but every bit as strong. I am sure you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Tight lines!
