Daiwa TD Sol II 2508 Fishing Reel TDS 2508

Daiwa has always had a long history of innovation, in 2010, Daiwa pioneered the ground breaking technology- Magseal, Zaion and Air Rotor, a combination that is the future for all Daiwa spinning reels. Originally introduced in our flagship reels like Saltiga, Certate and Exist, it was only a matter of time before we introduced it into Australia’s most popular spinning reel ever the TD Sol. Developed over the past two years, TD Sol II shows Daiwa’s commitment to introduce its best design innovations into mid-price reels.

Magseal

Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, sealing a reel is a major goal. No leakage means no corrosion, longer life and better performance. If saltwater penetrates a reel and dries, it crystallizes, and then erodes gears and bearings. In the past waterproof gaskets and “o rings’ prevented water intrusion, but they have the disadvantage of, producing friction and thus winding inertia.

In order to increase the durability of the reel, Daiwa had to make the waterproof structure an absolute priority. Through years of research and development, Daiwa found the solution – a membrane of magnetic oil, which shuts out saltwater. By using magnetized oil in conjunction with magnets, the oil attaches itself to the metal surfaces to form a seal. Being magnetized this lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces dust or water intrusion, eliminating oil spray and improving reel life expectancy. We call it “Mag Seal”. You’ll call it magic and a transformation to long lasting, smooth rotary efficiency.

Air Rotor

Air Rotor is like no other, it is truly a revolution in sensitivity. The new rotor serves several functions. Firstly the main principle of the rotor is support the line roller, line is pulled instantaneously from the spool to the line roller creating stress and flexing to a concentrated section of the lower rotor. The new arch form disperses pressure to the entire lower entire section of the rotor, dramatically decreasing stress and flexing.

Sensitivity is one of the strongest attributes of Air Rotor. The rotor transmits vibration through the reel more efficiently than ever before. By hollowing out the rotor system, a lighter construction is created with more surface area, resulting in increased strength and greater transmission of vibration. With a decrease in weight the balance has been fine tuned, with a lower centre of gravity and precise centre of axis the rotor spins more efficiently with perfect balance. This decrease in weight, increased surface area and new resin construction transmits lure vibration to the angler like never before.

The new TD Sol II introduces new innovations and unparalleled designs, the combination of Magseal, Air Rotor and Super Metal making it one of our most technically advanced reels. You will feel more connected to lures, detect more bites and fight fish with ease…. real design and real technological development for “Technology to Feel”.

TD Sol Type II – the new Sols are out now instores and potential buyers please take note that the handle cap is a left hand thread. This means just the cap, many forums and websites are stating that the reel is left hand only, this is completely untrue.
