Like other Japanese fishing tackle manufacturers, Daiwa is renowned for producing reels designed for a specific purpose, species or angling method. Here, we focus on how to interpret the many different spool size options Daiwa has available for its vast range of spinning reels, past and present, so you can best determine the right size model for the desired application.
spools
Daiwa Ignis Type-R SOM Custom
Replacing the fluorocarbon-only spool of the Daiwa Ignis Type-R with this red, No Limits custom shallow spool from Studio Ocean Mark. Tuned further with SOM’s amazing looking Rail Arm handle and knob to complete the look.
Studio Ocean Mark No Limits Custom Spools & Handles
As you can see, I’ve become a bit of a fan of the Studio Ocean Mark No Limit spools.
Tict Custom Spool & Handle
Tict isn’t necessarily a brand that you instantly associate with fishing reels, but in their quest to make light lure fishing better they have designed an innovative range of custom reel parts that fit both Shimano and Daiwa reels.
Daiwa Exist 18 LT2000S-H Finesse Custom
One of the most desirable items at the 2018 Osaka Fishing Show – the brand new Daiwa Exist 18. This top-of-the-range Daiwa spinning reel pictured here, the LT2000S-H Finesse Custom has been pushed to even greater heights with a full SLP Works upgrade kit including, spool, handle and handle cap. Whoa mumma!
Stella 2500FE With Studio Ocean Mark Spool
Shimano Stella 2500FE with Studio Ocean Mark spool
Shimano Vanquish 3000SDH + Livre + Yumeya
What follows is my own, rather lame justification in purchasing yet another fine fishing reel – a JDM Shimano Vanquish C3000SDH.
