Description
Daiwa’s 18 TDR Reel is an incredibly smooth, powerful coarse reel with an iconic blue livery and boule handle that – to us – may be the most aesthetically pleasing reel on the market. Completely impermeable to liquid thanks to the mag seal means the reel’s smoothness and gear quality are maintained over time. With up to 12kg of max drag, the relatively lightweight reel is powerful enough to handle serious pike or carp. The shield between the line clip and spool gives greater protection to the line itself.
Like other Daiwa reels – the 19 TDM Reel or the Ninja Match and Feeder Reel – the inclusion of a spare spool is one of our favourite features for any reel. With up to nine ball bearings and a sealed mag, the 18 TDR is most well-known for its smooth retrieve and long-lasting quality. Whilst the line capacity isn’t at the top end of the market (150m for 12lb braid), it’s more than capable of handling anything but the biggest of coarse fish in some seriously large bodies of water. Still one of the best coarse fishing reels on the market.

FAQs
The Daiwa 18 TDR Reel has a gear ratio of between 4.7:1 to 4.9:1. This means that the spool turns 4.7-4.9 times for every turn of the handle. The higher the gear ratio, the faster the retrieve and this is a typical gear ratio for a coarse or feeder fishing reel.
The Daiwa 18 TDR Reel is a reel that comes in five models with a gear ratio: 4.7:1 – 4.9:1, 8-9 ball bearings, a line capacity of 150m/8lb – 150m 12lb, a weight of 265-395g, a max drag of 10-12kg. The mag-sealed body and hard aluminium shell are durable and the air rotor and quick drag are excellent feeder reel features. As is the spare spool.
