Lock and Load with the Daiwa T3 T-Wing System

Lock and Load with the Daiwa T3 T-Wing System

Image

Introduction: The Daiwa T3 is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated premium freshwater low profile baitcaster this season and debuted just a few months ago at ICAST. The T3 features a number of innovations including Daiwa’s MagForce 3D cast control system and the very anomalous looking T-Wing design which flips the front of the reel completely open during casting to reveal the uniquely shaped “T” levelwind.

Great review can't wait to get my hands on one. :D By the way there is a mix up in Plus and Minus colums there for the CUC70H Cumara rod. :lol:

Thus far the consensus has been what I thought it should be - a very good reel. Now the question is, do you get 6 T3-Ballistics or 3 T3's? That is the question!!!! A couple more weeks, most lakes in the Northern US here will be frozen or close to it. Time to start selling old gears!!!

This is not what I was hoping to hear. I wanted to hear frame flex, gimmicky jack-in-the-box hood and other disparagement. Not a 8.58 Innovation award :doh:

You're killing me Cal :crying:

I do not need to be spending more money or reels. ](*,) I was very impressed with your report of the reel's pitching ability. That's huge for me. \:D/

This tackle addiction needs to end. :talk hand: I need to "book" a room at Betty Ford :-k
