abecedarian Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The Sol is a nice reel, don't know about the heartland though. I take it you're a daiwa fan as there's no mention of shimano gear?? If you're not fussed check out the stradic. All the same important stuff as the higher end ones (twinpower and up) like the line management systems etc. only with a few less bearings and heaps cheaper. Definitely worth a look in my opinion...

SZ1 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) HI Mate, Have a look around I know of a store that is currently running out the TDA Red and Silver one for around $250, i have one these with the matching rod and it is a nice little weapon. Pretty much same as SOL, send me a PM and i am more then happy to tell you where I saw it, as i don't want to disrespect the sponsers of FR. Cheers, sha Edited October 9, 2009 by SZ1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer666 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have the daiwa certate and it is a awsome reel it's perfect when you want to cast out those slugs and retrive them very fast. Hope this helps. Cheers Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donjuarez Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I wouldn't classify a Stradic as being in the same class as a TD Sol... The TDA's might be worth a look at the price mentioned above.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray R Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have a Team Daiwa Advantage 4000 as well, great reel and has no probs spinning up small kings and bonnies off the rocks, for me it works great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bream Mad Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would definitley look at a Stradic i have a 2500FI and it realy feels solid as a rock I just feel confident it can handle big fish bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humkyle Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 the primary differences between the sol and the heartland is its ball bearings. the heartland has one more ceramic coated ball bearing than the sol, meaning its more tolerant of salt water. I would go the sol though..i think its a much more attractive reel, but thats my opinion.. If its for fishing off rocks etc and is probs going to get wet, go the heartland. also, a 2500 will land kings up to 80cm n easy on bonnies n stripeys etc. are u land based or boat?

abecedarian Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Depending on what type of fishing you're planning to do, you might want to have a look at the retrieve rate too. I don't know about the TDAs, but after having fished with a mates sol I'd say it has a very slow retrieve rate compared to other reels. If you're fishing soft plastics then it won't matter, but it would make life difficult if you were trying to spin up bonito... I wouldn't classify a Stradic as being in the same class as a TD Sol... The TDA's might be worth a look at the price mentioned above.. They're not in the same class, that would be the twinpower I'd say. But at the moment I can't really see the point in spending an extra $150 or so for the upgrade. And I own both reels. The stradics are just fantastic value for money IMO.
