daiwa rods

[salmonquest]

Does anyone use the Daiwa Dipsy rods??? I noticed there is a firewolf and a Wilderness(?)? I was wondering how well they stand up and if the action is good. I saw them for a good price recently.

Well, I'm not exactly the guy that beats his equipment up all week. But, i have two of the firewolf about 8'6" i think. M action. I got 20reels on em and use for my riggers. only other rods i have are the okuma classic pro i think. the cheap ones. and i can definately tell a difference in quality.

Like i said, i haven't really pushed the rods to the limit and gave em a good test, but i definately like them more than the classic pros by okuma. where are they on sale at?

I have a couple of Daiwa Heartland Dipsey Rods and theyve served me well. I just picked up a pair of Daiwa Heartland Wire Line rods. Im hoping to test them out here soon.

I have 4 of the wilderness rods full core on 2 of them and the other 2 are setup for riggers. I also have 2 of the Firewolf ML rods setup for riggers No problems yet I like the Firewolf rods as they are very light action and make catching fish a lot of fun. I am still using the Okuma Mooching rods I bought 5 years ago for my braid diver rods.

I have 4 of the 9-6 MH FireWolfs. I used them for over 6 years now. The only problem that I've had was the ceramic guides came out of one of the tips. I've changed them over for my short core rods a couple of years ago. With a couple of inner flow and roller rods, for dipseys, I didn't have any other use for them. Not having invested in trees yet, they have served me well. I recall buying mine for around $20 or less a piece.

Thanks fellas. Jay's in Gaylord had the wilderness for 15 or so and the firewolf for 17 or 18.. I think I'll splurge on the firewolf for my new dipsy rods. :)

I also have the wilderness rods in med, med light, and med heavy, have had good luck so far mainly used on the riggers, cant beat the price either.
