Anyone ever held one of these?  I'm wondering if the body is "slim profile" like the new BPS Extreme spinning reel?

I own one in the 2000 series.  Not sure what you're referring to, but the BPS description of the Extreme makes it sound like it would be wider because of the spool width.

If I remember, I'll try to get a side by side view when I got to BPS today.

Russ, I was going out today (saturday) to try and find one in person. Went to Quaker Lane yesterday, they don't carry Daiwa.

OK, I'm back from BPS

The display models were the Extreme 2000 and the Tierra 3000.  The body of the Extreme was slimmer (not surprising given it was a 'smaller' sized reel), but the spool widths on these two were very close, despite being different sizes.

Does that help at all?

Yes, thanks. I am buying one for a rod Fletchero made me. Matt, looks like we are going to be twins,lol.

I was just wondering because BPS extreme is boasting this new ultra slim body. The tienna looks very similar, was wondering just how slim it really was.

Thanks for the feedback.

Matt- you do realize, with a name like the one in your avatar that I will be coming up with nicknames for you 2 all summer.

For now, we will start with Biscuit and triscuit. ;D  Which one do you want to be?

;D Cuz that's how we roll! That's what happens when you mix one part Foster and one part Burrilville.  

Matt- Did you find any local?  

Reel came in, VERY nice piece for the money. Daiwa gave great attention to detail.

I am kinda bummed that I spent $130 on a spinning reel and it didn't come with a felt travel bag. My $59 Pfluegers all did.

Report/review (and hopefully pics) to follow from Fork.

Sorry 4 the late reply. I keep going down to Ericksons but they are always closed.

Russ,

I'll bring you a couple next week so everyone will think you bought the right brand.

I'll bring the sharpie and we'll make it a real Daiwa bag!!  ...lol  

How about  a pic of the reel... some of us have a vested interest in the color.  

You can't fish with a reel bag on

I have the SOL, which is similar to the Tierra, and I FREAKING LOVE IT! Daiwa makes a fine spinning reel!
