pmak Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Have 2 Tierra reels 2000 & 3000 size - never had that problem. However, my 2000 size anti-reverse was slipping badly - might have got carried away with oiling the insides too much. Bought both reels second hand so had no warranty back-up. Bit the bullet, downloaded the repair form from the Daiwa website and mailed the reel off to Daiwa with specific instructions to call or e-mail me cost of repair before proceeding. Did not hear anything from them for 3 weeks when I received the reel back in the mail fixed free of charge. Not saying this scenario will occur with everyone who deals with the Daiwa repair department but it's definitely an avenue you should follow up.

Cheers for the info pmak, mines out of warranty to so i might give it ago.. Ive got a regal z 3000 that slips a bit but i guess they are not built for trying to pull kings away from channel markers, Poor thing cops a hiding!!! Thanks again, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinmaster Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 REBIRTH THE DAIWA TIERRA LT Yesterday I bought the 3000 and the 4000, what attracked me to the reel was the 3000 has a 10kg drag and the 4000 has a 12kg drag, solid build!!! Also another important part is the pice point, managed combos with the Laguna stick for $199 which is basically getting a $70 rod for $10 not a rolls royce rod but will do till i can upgrade although I think its perfect pice and quality for the reel. Will come back and repost once i have used it for 6 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
