Hi Guys,

Anyone know where i may be able to pick up another reducer to fit my Daiwa Powermesh? Or i may just end up ringing Daiwa.
After a slight accident the one i have is fecked

Very hard to get one. I recently got one for my AWB129 and it was the wrong size so I had to make some modifications to it to get it to fit. I would suggest ring Viking Tackle/Henry's Tackle/Southside with the diameter size. They may have an old one hanging around.

Thanks for the info Robert. I was thinking it might be hard to get one to fit, will measure the rod see if i can find another one similar size.

Odd, i've never had any trouble with the guys in Scotland, granted have only called them on a couple of times.
Remember one time few yrs back my dad & his mate in a drunken Christmas session decided to play around the house with his new Daiwa Whisker kevlar tournament, which they proceeded to snap 2" of the tip!

quick call to Daiwa Scotland & a new tip section arrived free of charge within a week. Actually the replacement section was better than the original, as its still going strong.

Can't be bad getting new tip FOC.
Probably got the delay cos the Scottish guys might still be recovering from new year!

yea the first tip was to loose on the spigot the mail; order company didn't believe me at first a diawa with a fault they said it would be like Chinese whispers so the mail order company replaced it got a new tip broke it getting it out of the car boot in a rush to get fishing lol i was gutted to say the least id only used it about 3 times i was told a new tip would cost 130 but i wrote them a few letters then rang a few times but i cant complain now
