Just to RE phrase for those that never read his post properly.... he bought a Shimano NOT a Daiwa ::balance:

 

[Raggieman]

Hey mag man do you want to become shark bait

 

[Hooked]

sorry mag man.its the daiwa were you need to buy a spare.
sort of like the old lada niva.you buy 2 , one to drive and one for parts.hahahahahahahahahah

 

[Reefman]

So Hooked, you got your Torium to work yet?

 

[POIZN]

Lol good one Reefer

 

[mag-man]

My brew, to be honest I have also been looking at shimano's, because with the price of grapnels the way they going, I am now looking at shimano's as a substitute, about all they good for.

 

[CannonRocks303]

I have fished with the TLD and the Daiwa SL50SHK- obviously its not a Saltist, but in my opinion the Daiwa is a better reel to go for, hope you are happy with your shimano though- it will probably give you good service

 

[marine69]

Ei, im so far gone down this track that the popcorn and KWV 3 year old is a distanct memory.

But Daiwa, #$%! you anyway!

 

[Hooked]

Hey Reefie
No , my torium is still stuffed , been in for its 3rd sevice now and the okes just keep stuffing it up.Getting a bit ticked off now.I didnt service it myself as the reel is pushing 6yrs now and wanted a pro opinion.Seems there are no peeps left capable of servicing any reel properly.
By the way , how many jeeps did you buy 1 or 2 ??

 

[The master assasin]

Wats wrong with your torium hooked and why cant they fix it 3 diff times? Perhaps its a sign u should retire it now?
