Great Rod. Casts a mile

I picked up a TDSF 1202MHFS last week and headed to the beach. This rod was an upgrade from a Shakespeare 12' Breakwater Ugly Stik that I never liked using because it felt heavy, clumsy and delicate. I paired it with a old model Okuma Avenger 80a spinning reel. I only caught two skate in about 10 hours of fishing but I would say the rod performed excellently. The lure weight… read more rating is 2-9 oz. I used a 5 oz. sputnik sinker and 6 oz. pyramid sinker, both with a whole clam as bait. The rod loaded perfectly at both these weights and cast for very long distances. I think weight ratings are accurate. I liked this rod so much that I will be upgrading the reel so I can use it more often.

I bought the 12 foot Team Daiwa Model No: TDSF1202MHFS. It's advertised as rated for 6-16 oz. lure rating and 20-60lb line rating on TD's and other websites as well. But printed on the pole itself, it states it actually has a 2-9 oz. lure rating and 15-40lb line rating. On Daiwa's own website they claim to build it with Fazlite ring guides but attached to the pole was a tag that… read more said it had Alconite ring guides. Daiwa makes great products but I felt the need to inform the buying public of the misinformation so you can make a more accurately informed buying decision.

Bought the 9 ft med rod and it casts 3/4-2 oz jigs and swim baits about 70 yard easy. Don't even have to whip it. Paired w/ a saltist 4000 and 20 lb daiwa j
Braid ?8 (island blue). Smoothest casts i've ever had. You can feel every bite. The 2 pieces when connected do not come off easy.

A favorite west coast fishing surf rod

Lostatsurf
4 years ago

I bough the 9’ MHF and absolutely loved it when casing fish finder rigs with 3-4 oz pyramid or coin weights. Paired it with my BG 4000 and Clash 5000.
70% of my reels and 30% of my rods are Daiwas.
The only downside which you need to consodering when buying Daiwa Products is the turnaround time for warranty claims.
While it is very easy ti reach customer service… read more the turnaround time (in my case 7 month) for a warrantly claim and the fact that they want u to aend back the whole broken rod not just the broken part makes not convinient at all when you thino you are dealing with a large outfit such as Daiwa.
The only reason giving it 4/5 starts is the warrnty claim experience and the leg work and calls it takes to follow up.

I would match the 10' Team Daiwa Surf rod with the Daiwa BG 6500 for better balance and you would get better distance in your cast using the 10' model.

The 9' model would be a better option if pairing it with the 10' team daiwa rod. Or you could use the 5500 size Spinfisher on the 10' M or MH rod.

Post an Answer
Donald 6 years ago

The Daiwa TDSURF902MFS Team Daiwa Surf Spinning Rod would be the best rod to match with the 4000 Pursuit reel you have chosen. I would advise using a heavier reel in the 5000 or 6000 size and a 10' team Daiwa rod if your targeting larger sharks.

Asked by Jim McG 3 years ago

I would go with the 5000 sizes for either reel. This should make a setup that balances better and fishes more effectively.
