The TC boys get to grips with tackle and bait, testing them to the limit out on the bank. Here’s what they think…
Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel
RRP: £125
Website: www.daiwasports.co.uk
Test period: Two years
Marc says: I originally got one of these for my spodding when a review sample came into the office and did not need to be returned. It’s been on my spod rod ever since and I’ve added a second model to my marker setup. The cranking power and general build strength is what originally appealed (it is noticeably quick at retrieving spods from range), but the twin line clips also come in handy when feature finding multiple spots.
I’ve given mine a bit of stick over the two years that I’ve had them and they’ve never let me down. The spod reel is covered in claggy bait, but the marker, below, is still in good nick.
Marc's Verdict
Performance: ★★★★★★★★★★
Value: ★★★★★★★★★★
Genuine workhorse but with refinements you'd expect from Daiwa
