Can anyone please tell me what model this Daiwa is? I've looked all over for it and can't find one.

Team Daiwa TD-X.  Top of the line Daiwa when in was available and very nice....still

Thank you very much. I'm pretty interested in getting one. You say they're hard to find now?

It was discontinued a few years back.

Wow, that's such a shame. Do you have any idea why?

I was able to pick one up NIB on Ebay a couple of months ago. It was at the original list price. These were sweet reels, cast like a dream. If you look hard enough they can be found.

overstock. com has them

Thanks a lot guys for the feedback. Much appreciated

I recently bought one of these reels used on Ebay last month. It is an awesome reel. I'll be buying a one or two more at some point.

how much were they originally?? because i lifted a mint condition one off a guy i know for $20 a few weeks back. Was it a score?

A post in the flea market might get you one at a good price. Worth a try.

If that's the case, then you scored the deal of the decade...seriously.

On a related note, did Daiwa ever make a mirror image left-handed TD-X?  I've always wanted this reel, as everyone loves theirs, and I think they are one of the coolest looking reels ever.

I would LOVE to have a mirror image lefty.

You scored big time!

That particular reel from the picture is the super tuned version of the TDX, when that reel was offered it came in two versions, the super tuned got some extra goodies just for 10 dollars more, they ran for $210. You got it for 20 you had the deal of the decade. I used to own one and it 's a fantastic reel.

On the other question, no Daiwa did not offer a mirror lefty of that reel, the lefty version is a gripping left reel.

The lefty is below, front row, right:

You can find these used and new for a song.  Great reels.

cool... glad to see it was money well spent.. i havent fished with it yet tho.. still sitting at the house in the box.. feels AWESOME tho!!! gonna put it to good use here very soon!

More importantly, what kind of rod is that in the picture?

That was definitely an awesome reel in its day.  Still is!

Thanks for the info Raul and J.  I've known about the ergonomic TD-X for some time, but have always dreamed about a mirror image lefty.  A man can dream... ;D

It was a custom built rod.

I've had the 200 version in black for years and years. Always served me well, In fact I just pulled it out of storage to begin using it again.
