Hi All
i will not bother contacting Daiwa anymore they are a complete waste of time, they told me that they are out of stock of 6lb line.
Here is another device that is currently unavailable, the Daiwa line spooler, but you can make something similar that will do the job.
Here is my device, its...
Hi Neil
Take of the cap at the bottom of the lower section push the top section down and expose the bottom plastic cap, unscrew the cap and give it a really good clean with some white spirit.
Pull out the top action a clean the inside of the pole.
Once all the joints are cleaned replace the...
Hi Alex and all
these are some modifications to stop the spool from breaking.
The ones with the single nut and bolt should stop the problem and the ones with the two bolts are so that i can inset a pen or pencil and in my case a line spooler to run off line.
I have had a few replies from Daiwa...
Hi Ian
all the spools were purchased from local tackle shops.
Now the big news, i have just had a reply from Daiwa asking me to send back the defective 5 spools along with proof of purchase.
Now then, i wonder how many people have got a proof of purchase for a spool of line that was bought...
Hi Christion
I am very happy with the line, I have been using it for many years, it’s those bloody spools that are the problem.
I shall continue to use the rest of the spools that I have in stock, after that I will change.
5 spools ruined is a joke.
Cheers mate

Hi David
That makes complete sense, I have decided I will not be buying this product again, I shall be using Guru and Gardner recommended by John.
Daiwa must know about this product and have done nothing to rectify the fault.
I will let you know what and if Daiwa respond.
Cheers lads and...
Hi David
That makes complete sense, I have decided I shall not be buying any more of this product, I blame Daiwa for not sorting out this problem which I would assume they know about.
I shall be using some Guru line and also get some of the Gardner line that you mentioned John.
Again it’s...
Hi Guys
Many thanks for your replies, I have some Guru Drag line which I shall use.
I have just written to Daiwa, let’s see what their response will be.
I can’t believe they use such a crap plastic spool.
I will let you know what they say.
Thanks again.
Brian.
Hi Guys
My line problem has once again reared its head, although its not actually the line, its the spool that it comes in.
Basically i have now had 5 spools that have broken causing the line to be completely destroyed and ready for the bin.
These bulk spools of line 2500 metres approx cost...
Hi Guys,
I have many books by so many anglers, and quite a few are signed, but I suppose it has to be any book by Chris Yates, they are easy to read and no technical rig advice which I find at times complicated and boring, with the writing by Chris i find that I am almost on the banks with him...
