salmonquest Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Does anyone use the Daiwa Dipsy rods??? I noticed there is a firewolf and a Wilderness(?)? I was wondering how well they stand up and if the action is good. I saw them for a good price recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its an addiction Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well, I'm not exactly the guy that beats his equipment up all week. But, i have two of the firewolf about 8'6" i think. M action. I got 20reels on em and use for my riggers. only other rods i have are the okuma classic pro i think. the cheap ones. and i can definately tell a difference in quality. Like i said, i haven't really pushed the rods to the limit and gave em a good test, but i definately like them more than the classic pros by okuma. where are they on sale at?

Adam Bomb Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have a couple of Daiwa Heartland Dipsey Rods and theyve served me well. I just picked up a pair of Daiwa Heartland Wire Line rods. Im hoping to test them out here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mainiac Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have 4 of the wilderness rods full core on 2 of them and the other 2 are setup for riggers. I also have 2 of the Firewolf ML rods setup for riggers No problems yet I like the Firewolf rods as they are very light action and make catching fish a lot of fun. I am still using the Okuma Mooching rods I bought 5 years ago for my braid diver rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwhisperer Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have 4 of the 9-6 MH FireWolfs. I used them for over 6 years now. The only problem that I've had was the ceramic guides came out of one of the tips. I've changed them over for my short core rods a couple of years ago. With a couple of inner flow and roller rods, for dipseys, I didn't have any other use for them. Not having invested in trees yet, they have served me well. I recall buying mine for around $20 or less a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonquest Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks fellas. Jay's in Gaylord had the wilderness for 15 or so and the firewolf for 17 or 18.. I think I'll splurge on the firewolf for my new dipsy rods. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
