2025 marks twenty years since the first TDR was released, and to commemorate two decades of this performance, Daiwa has released two limited edition models of the TDR-QD AB – a 3012 and a 4012, both in single handle. The 24 TDR-QD AB ‘All Black’ offers all the technology and features of the current ‘blue’ choices, but in a stealthy all-black finish. The reel utilises AIRDRIVE Design and a hard aluminium body, which keeps the mechanism perfectly aligned when operating under load. This is combined with Digigear II and 7BB bearings to ensure a superior level of smoothness and power delivery. The ultra-secure, wind-on handle – a first in match and feeder reels – ensures direct transmission through to the drive gear, optimising power delivery. Power and smoothness also come from the AIRDRIVE Rotor and AIRDRIVE Bail. The rotor’s advanced spherical shape perfectly displaces load, and the lighter but rigid Zaion V material gets it moving with minimum lag, so winding responsiveness is higher. Original Daiwa features such as the HIP line clip and QD Quick Drag assist with distance control and fish playing, while the full spec spare spool finishes off float and feeder perfection. - 3012 and 4012 models, both in single handle - AIRDRIVE Design - Hard aluminium body - Digigear II - 7BB bearings - Ultra-secure, wind-on handle - AIRDRIVE Rotor - AIRDRIVE Bail - Zaion V rotor material - HIP line clip - QD Quick Drag - Full spec spare spool
