Shop doesn't stock it.

Thanks!

Daiwa is again making the Light & Tough series of rods.  Check Northern Bass Supply as I believe they carry the whole line.

Thanks, jdw.  My rod (and the one listed) is an S-series, though, not the actual Light & Tough models.  The TD-S-B (which the old one is) was based on the LT models while still being an S-series.  Here is the link:

If anyone has a lead on one of these rods anywhere, let me know.

Jim,

Why not call the shop and get an email address of someone there... send the pic and ask them to verify for you?

Keith,

I did just that earlier last evening (but had sent a photo 3 days prior with no response until last night).  I found out that they don't actually carry the rod in stock, which leads me to believe that it is the new TD-S series rod.  Kind of a downer for me...

Now the hunt begins for a replacement.  I am going to call Daiwa today and see if they can repair it for a charge that isn't astronomical.   I am not hopeful...
