Are you looking for Daiwa reels and rods or something else from their well-developed range? On this page, we list the entire range from Daiwa.
The global brand Daiwa was founded in the 1950s in Japan. Initially, Daiwa produced simple fishing reels for the Japanese market. Yoshio Matsui was a Japanese entrepreneur who, with his passion for fishing and a vision of better fishing equipment, turned his dream into reality when he started Daiwa Reels, as it was called at the time. Rods, reels, and accessories from Daiwa have always been distinguished by high quality and innovative technology.
The number on the line class determines the fly line’s weight, in other words, how powerful the fly rod you’re using is. That’s why the intended rod’s line class determines which line class you should choose for the rest of your gear, like the fly reel and line. A fly rod in line class 3 (#3) is a lighter rod for smaller waters and smaller fish. A fly rod in class 9 (#9) is a heavier rod designed to handle larger flies and bigger fish. When matching fly fishing gear, ensure the line, reel, and rod are of the same class. The best-selling fly fishing gear in Sweden is a 9-foot rod in class 5 with a class 5 floating line (WF) and a matching reel.
