Title: Tournament SLT 50 2 speed
Post by: Legal Bill on December 17, 2013, 04:04:45 AM
I just picked up one of these lightly used for a very fair price.  Here is a link to the Diawa site:

http://www.daiwa.com/Reel/detail.aspx?ID=56

It is a very solid piece indeed.  It came without an owner's manual and I can't seem to find one on-line.  I found the schematic on the Diawa web site, but that and the link above was all they had on line.  If anyone has the manual scanned or knows where to find it on line, I would sure appreciate a link.

Thanks.

Bill

How are these reels working out for you?

I won't know for another couple of months.  I'm in New England.

Thanks for the reply. I've always been a fan of daiwa reels. I have used the Sealine star drag reels for years, and am going to be trying out my 900H  for some beach sharking next month.

I caught a small tuna on it this summer and it was overkill.  The reel performed flawlessly, but the fish was about 100 pounds underweight.

I'm just wondering why you brought up a 2 1/2 year old thread that was started almost 3 years ago with no new info other than "I caught a small tuna on it this summer and it was overkill"?

Not that your reports are not important to this forum but I have to ask myself why you only reported back at this late of a date?
