New reels.

My new reels, the daiwa Tierra 3000 , after some considerable research on what is current & available in the U.K, my search found me looking at what is available in The USA. With the pound being so strong against the dollar i took advantage of a special offer from a U.S retailer & got this pair for £61.00 each including P&P & Insurance. I waited ten days for delivery but it was worth it. Similar to the TD-R range available here in the U.K, The Tierra comes in a variety of sizes, It has a ratio of 4.7:1, so has plenty of power. It has a whole host of daiwa features including airbail etc etc. The front drag is micro adjustable is very very smooth with loads of power. With 7 bearings including 2 corrosion resistant, it really is one smooth performer.

Just checked the Bass Pro site for the Tierra reels & price, as I'm off to the States shortly.

Enjoyed your article on the pellet wag & other topics, excellent site.

Cheers

Thanks Steve, I am getting on really well with the reels, they suit my style. For the money I think they were a bargain.
