What is "Team Daiwa"?
The Daiwa website doesn't say anything about Team Daiwa except to list who is currently on it. But, more to the point, how are the TD rods and reels different than the regular Daiwa stuff? I also see that there are different series of Team Daiwa gear, e.g., TD-A, TD-S, etc., what's the difference?
My guess is that Team Daiwa is actually a group of professional tournament fishermen that Daiwa sponsors. Daiwa incorporates their input on certains rods and reels which then carry the TD name. I'm also guessing that there have been several different "teams", with each one getting a unique letter (TD-A, TD-B, etc.). The current team is Mike Iaconelli, Ish Monroe, Mike Folkstadt, Takahiro Omori, and Dustin Wilkes (from the Daiwa website).
Well....the "Team Daiwa is the higher end line doesn't hold up." All you have to do is look at Daiwa's HIGHEST reels, and realize that they DO NOT have the Team Daiwa label. The Steez and Certate spinning reels are a prime example. Neither, although retailing for well over $300, has Team Daiwa in the name...anywhere.
It's just a marketing tool. It seems like it's the "higher" end products, but truely, it's not. It seems they tend not to put it on rods/reels that are too far down the product list; however, all you have to do to dent that theory is go into a local Sports Authority and look at the cheap-o Team Daiwa rod/reel combo for $34.99.
There is the Daiwa sponsored anglers. And in a sense, they are "Team Daiwa," but that has nothing to do with the rod/reel line up.
So, to answer your question, it's just words they use to make things SOUND cooler. Nothing more.
