Daiwa T Trigger Rod

Featured Replies

Does anybody have any experience with the Daiwa T Trigger rod? I am thinking about getting one for my new baitcast setup for soft plastics and jigs. The other option is a BPS Carbonlite. I will be getting a 6'6" probably in medium.

It's a freakin' good rod. Performs better than the Veritas and Carrot Stix.

That's good to hear. I had a Veritas Spinning rod and took it back to Bass Pro for a refund, I didn't care for it at all.

You'll like it. It handles the same as a Mojo Bass rod, if not better. Daiwa is a great company.

I have 3 or 4 Daiwa reels and really like them. I might pick up the Daiwa rod but I will have to see how it stacks against the other rod I am looking at which is the Carbonlite Micro.

Go with the carbonlite micro. You'll get more bang for your buck. From what i can see The Daiwa T is nothing more than a re designed Tierra rod, which i have 3 of. I would gladly trade them all for carbonlites if i hadn't made split grips out of them.

Daiwa does make some good stuff, but so does BPS, Shimano, Quantum, Pflueger ..etc.etc......Its all about confidence and personal preference.

I'd also go with the carbonlite. I am not a fan of Daiwa's economically priced rods. But keep in mind that the carbonlite is also $40-$50 more.

I bought a 6'6" MF regular Carbonlite. I was going to get the micro version but couldn't see the extra $20, plus I didn't have to pay anything for the new rod since I was exchanging a 6'6" Carbonlite spinning rod I bought during the rod trade in that I still have not used and did not see myself using.

I also got my reel spooled up with 12 lb Yo-Zuri Hybid and got to play with it in the backyard a little and love it.

As long as youre happy with what you got then that's all that matters. I personally think you made the best choice :thumbsup:

I'm not so sure that's a compliment...

Hey don't be a mojo bass hater, they are good rods. Not the best. But good.

Not a hater, just not a huge fan. I've owned a couple, along with their "sister" rods the Premier and Triumph. They're all functional rods, but generally not as sensitive, light, or well-balanced as many of the other rods in their price range(s).

To be honest, out of the three, I prefer the Triumph. It offers all of the performance of the other two, for $30+ less.
