Questions about Daiwa Coastal TW Casting Reel

i am confused about left and right handed. I rotate the reel knob by my right hand... is that a right hand then?

Answer: Its refering to what hand you retrieve with. On typical spinning reels you can switch the handle and if you cant you normally cast with the right hand and reel with the left hand.

Answer: I'm right handed and for years I bought right handed bait casting reels. A few years back I started buy left handed bait cast reels, you're used to using a spinning reel with your left hand retrieving, no difference to me. The plus side to using a left handed bait caster is now I don't have to switch hands after casting.

Answer: Yes, if you rotate the handle with your right hand you will use a right hand reel model.

Answer: This is an image of a right handed reel. Why they're displaying it upside down is beyond me.

Answer: I’m right handed but it feels more comfortable reeling with my left

Answer: Yes

lefty or righty？

Answer: This is right handed

Answer: Hello

Answer: Hey SELLER!!! If you would fix the pics, folks would not be so confused by your offering!!! Dang pics are UP SIDE DOWN!! TURN THEM OVER!!!

Can't tell by the pic or description, is this a level wind reel?

Answer: Yes , this is a level wind reel.

Answer: Yes it is with a new design. It works very well.

Answer: Yes it is. I love it

Answer: Yes

If I wanted to reel with my left hand I should get the “one size” ?

Answer: yes same size for left hand

Answer: Then buy the reel with left hand orientation, regardless of size. These reels come both ways. By the way it's a very good reel. No issues with mine thus far and it's over a year old.

Answer: Yes.. also have to think about how your going to apply. I got the right hand only bc I flip mangroves with it and that’s what fits my hand best

If this is a 2015 model anyway to get the latest version of this reel not the 150

Will it work/fit on a st croix mojo inshore 7’ hf ??

Answer: I have it on a jigging Travolta Shimano rod I have 200 ft 20 lbs brad

Answer: Yes, I use it on a 7ft falcon lowrider medium heavy fast action.

this reel has 7.3:1 gear ratio, so , does it have the crank power like lower gear ratio reels like 5.5:1 Lexa to "winch" fish up when bottom fishing?

Answer: This is a high grade finesse baitcaster made for casting, 10 to 20 lb. string. I have done some shallow water rock fishing with it but I would not use it out in the deep for a winch........ this reel is way to small for that. I use mine mainly for surf casting, perch and stripers Montery bay area!

Answer: This reel is awesome - it is my second one! I still fish with my first one I fish for specks, Redfish and Alabama River Spots - it will do what you need and smooth - it is beyond smooth!!!

Answer: This reel will cast a country mile!

how much 20 or 30 lb test mono line will it hold rh

Answer: I only use 17 lb test

Does anyone use this with a conventional surf rod? If so, what size (length, power and action)?

Answer: This reel will work well with a 9 or 10 foot medium action surf rod. The Daiwa Coastal TWS reel is a good choice for this application.

Answer: It'll cast but you need more line than it holds for all the surf casting I've ever done.

Answer: I have used this as well with my 8’6 Shakespeare elite.

What is return policy?

Body materials graphite or aluminium?

Answer: Daiwa’s new Coastal-TWS 200 Inshore baitcaster has TWS system and all Corrosion resistant ball bearings to help keep the saltwater out. It has high strength gearing material and 100mm Swept Handle with custom EVA handle knobs for more cranking power. The 200 size A7075 aircraft grade aluminum spool has 35% more line capacity than the 100 size. Combine that with Ultimate Tournament Drag with up to 15.4 lbs. of drag max and you have a strong and durable inshore reel.

Answer: Aluminium....nice reel...i use it only in saltwater and holds very good

Answer: Aluminum

Why isnt there a left handed option? it offer 'right handed' and 'one size' at different prices.

The description says left hand but answers say right handed - is the one size option a right hand retrieve?

Answer: I've ordered 4 of these and they are right hand retrieve reels.

Answer: When it has the letter L at the end of model number hsL. It’s a left hand retrieve. HS Is a Right Hand

Answer: They make both models, righty and southpaw. Pick your hand. They can't be switched. And it's still a heckuva reel after big redfish and trout and flounders.

Is this recommended for Saltwater trolling for Salmon? 2lb ball?

Answer: Reel is not designed for heavy weights. Ok for a downrigger, but not a 2lb ball. I use mine for shore casting lures 1/4oz up to 3/4oz.

Will this work well on a topwater rod for both bass/snakeheads in fresh and trout/reds in salt?

Answer: I use mine (have 4 set ups wiith them) on tops, cranks, soft plastics, salt/fresh... They're so good, I dumped all my old Curados.

Answer: Well, I've not tried it on bass and I never saw a snakehead, but the reel casts beautifully with braid or mono and the drag handled a big 25 lb red last summer near Pawley's Island with Capt. Steve Roff of Barrier Island guide service. We were all amazed at how far it would cast with braid and no backlash. Serious, buttery smooth drag. I've tried all the good ones and its the best to date.

Answer: A little much for Topwater don’t know about snakehead

Answer: Absolutely yes! I use my Daiwa Coastal on my top water outfit, works well and you should no problem.

Answer: Yes.. i love mine . Caught many reds.

Answer: Yes when I’m not using this reel for redfish this is my top water frog setup.

I'm seriously considering one of these for my spinnerbait fishing hoping to gain 15-20 yards per cast. Is this the reel to go with?

Answer: It’s a good one for sure

Answer: No

Answer: If you’re throwing 1/2oz to 3/4oz spinnerbaits it’ll do good. Wouldn’t cast anything under 1/2oz.

Is this Japanese or American made?

Answer: Box says it's made in Thailand.

Answer: Made in cypress California

It says it has a metal spool. What about the frame is it plastic or metal?

Answer: Metal frame with plastic covers. This is one sweet reel.

Answer: Frame is anodized aluminum and stainless. Very durable reel. I'm in my 3rd season of using them and so far, only maintenance has been to clean the outside and lube with CorrosionX. Have 4 of them... all smooth as butter still...

Answer: Metal

Can someone plz tell me what is a good baitcaster for saltwater fishing thanks.

Answer: The best out there. I have 10 of them. I fish them hard and often with great results. Randy

Answer: I would stay away from the TWS costal. Mine was great for the first few trips, but the worm gear failed out of the blue. Sent it into to DIAWA well within the warranty and diawa said they wanted to charge me over $60 for a faulty gear. Sold both of my Diawa Lexa's that I loved as a result of the horrible customer service.

Answer: I highly recommend the daiwa coastal TWS. Lightweight and corrosion resistant. Has a better line capacity for being a lower profile reel. I love mine so far. Smooth drag.

What’s the difference in the two real options

Answer: probably right and left hand wind, since one says "one size " and one says right hand. I bet if you order "One Size" you get left hand wind. Other than that, who can say? But it is a really great reel.

Is the one size a left handed

Answer: Comes in either right or left hand!

Answer: This one is left handed

you have it with a left hand retrieval?

Answer: Yes I do

What is the line capacity?

Answer: I was able to put roughly 150 yards of 40lb braid on it.

Would this reel work on a daiwa proteus® wn rod?

Answer: Yeah as long it’s a casting rod. NOT a spinning rod. I paired it with a phenix M1 inshore 7-11. Works great !

It says right but description has it listed as left. Whic is it?

Answer: This coastal reel is right handed. That means that you hold the rod in your left hand and reel with the right hand.

Answer: They make both so make sure you order for the hand you want to wind with.

Is the one size the tws200hsl?

Answer: Don't know. Look at Diana website.

Would this be good for swimbait fishing

Answer: Should work great for swimbaits depending on rod selection. I use mine with a Dobyns Fury 735C rod for fishing larger swim baits and top water plugs inshore for snook and reds with 30lb braid.

Answer: Yes, this reel works very well for swimbaits.

Answer: Yes. It's fast enough.

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes definitely

I'm seriously considering one of these for my spinnerbait fishing hoping to gain 15-20 yards per cast. Is this the reel to go with?

Answer: It’s a good one for sure

Answer: No

Answer: If you’re throwing 1/2oz to 3/4oz spinnerbaits it’ll do good. Wouldn’t cast anything under 1/2oz.

Will you ever sell the left handed version? I would really prefer that

Are these reels available inleft hand retrieve?

Answer: Yes

can this be used for salmon

Answer: I'd say yes. The line capacity with braided line is more than sufficient with 20-30 lb test line. Drag system is more than capable and if coupled with a 7-8 Ft MH rod would make a fine rig. I use this reel for inshore fishing and have zero issues with landing large reds, specs, blues, and Snook. With proper care when fishing salt water, it should hold up well. Rinse with fresh water after every use and lubricate regularly. Really impressed with casting distance.

Answer: You sure can. I would spool the reel with 20 lb braid and use 15 lb fluorocarbon leader. I personally use 10 lb test for pier fishing and and a 101/2 foot light rod to catch chinook and coho in the Great Lakes.

Answer: Sí, peces más grandes sin ningún problema podes pescar

Answer: Yes...any kind of fish

Will this reel sit well on an Okuma Nomad? Looking for a new combo.

Answer: As long it’s a “ bait caster “ rod. NOT a spinning rod.

Does know if the bait adjustment clicks as well as the brake..i have a zillion hd and love it..everything clicks like a quality watch on this..

Answer: No bait clicker on the 200 coastal. Only a spool tension and brake adjustments. Awesome reel for throwing big lures.

Answer: Absolutely! Sealed great for saltwater usage and with the T-wing backlashes are virtually none existent. Awesome awesome reel.

gear ratio? line copacity? reel weight? how many ball bearings? the reel looks cool but no specs are desplayed, pls help.

Answer: It says it's the CLTW200HSL which is a 7.3:1 gear ratio. 7CRBB+1RB, reel weight is 8.1oz. Mono 14/164, 17/125, 20/100. Braid 40/190, 55/145.

Answer: Google is your friend...

What is the line capacity of the LH reel for Mono-filament?

Answer: MONO: 14/165, 17/125, 20/100

Answer: :) that depends on the line size. I would contact Daiwa.....

Answer: 195 yds 12 lb test

Does it have bait clicker?

Answer: No the only part that click is the star drag. But for it being a 200 class reel a clicker is not needed.

Answer: No, it does not have a bait clicker.

Answer: no he tenido nigun problema con el reel, anda 10 puntos

Why is the pic of a left handed reel? Is this reel right handed?

Answer: It is right handed. The picture is of the bottom of the reel

Answer: Mine came right handed

Answer: Mines right handed

Answer: Look closer at the pictures...they're upside down !!! (although, it's still a lefty)

154lbs Max drag? I’m pretty sure that’s impossible.

Answer: Yes, that’s impossible. It’s 15.4lbs.

Answer: It’s 15.4 not 154

I'm seriously considering one of these for my spinnerbait fishing hoping to gain 15-20 yards per cast. Is this the reel to go with?

Answer: It’s a good one for sure

Answer: No

Answer: If you’re throwing 1/2oz to 3/4oz spinnerbaits it’ll do good. Wouldn’t cast anything under 1/2oz.

can you use this for catching muskie and throwing big baits

Answer: Yes, it handles swimbaits up to 6oz so far. Great casting distance and great drag. I don't have musky in Oklahoma but I imagine it would handle them fine. This is a saltwater rated reel. Tight lines!

Answer: I’ve fought little yellow tails here just outside of Long Beach. Great reel

Why is the reel upside down in the picture... Nice job Daiwa

Answer: This reel he’s been flipped upside down. This reel has the handle on the right side for right hand retrieving.

Answer: Is it Daiwa or Amazons fault? I have one of these, it’s the best saltwater bass reel I’ve ever had!

How much does this reel weigh?

Answer:

Answer: It's not very heavy, but it sucks. I wasted my money on this reel. Used it twice in the salt and it's already noisy. I clean and lube my reels after every use. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money. Buy the new Shimano chronarch mgl. By the way all that garbage about casting far. Well, is the shortest casting reel I own out of over 20.

Answer: Not sure don't have a scale to weigh it but I is a decent reel

Answer: 8.1 OZ

Answer: 8.1 ounces.

Why does it say max drag is 154 pounds in the description?

Answer: That is a typo, this reel has 15.4 pounds of drag.

Answer: It should say 15.4(fifteen point four) pounds.

Will this work for fresh water bass and pike

Answer: Yes. I use it for striped bass and sea trout. Great reel.

Answer: Yes it should work fine I use it for Calico Bass and Sand Bass fishing out of Oceanside CA

Answer: Of Course. Love it

Product description is a bit lame at best, no specs posted for line capacity. Typo too, 154lbs of drag!? Nope 15.4 Lame!

Answer: This is a high quality Daiwa product, line capacity is 125 yards of 17 lb test mono and 15 lbs drag. Great reel for swimbaits or light saltwater. I own one now and I am very impressed.

Answer: 12 lb...(0.32mm)....195 yds

How does this reel hold up against light lures? Planning to use between 1/8th and 1/2oz jigs mainly.

Answer: You are good to go.

I want a left handed

Answer: Hello

Product reviews of Daiwa Coastal TW Casting Reel

Thomas Jensen : Great reel for throwing 110 minnows

Casts like a dream
It’s a small reel but packs plenty of muscle

Scott : Save your money and buy another reel.

Not really worth the price, seems cheaply built, had to clean and grease before first use.

james : Four Stars

Love it

Dusty Japp : Horrible

If I cast hard it makes a noise like an animal scream.

Alex R. : Love this reel!

What a great reel! Handles very well and has some amazing drag. Took it fishing for the first time and it was a joy to cast.
Very light weight, great tension control and again, drag is incredible for this size reel.
Great value overall.

JoshH : I like the TWS on Daiwa reels

I like the TWS on Daiwa reels, really enjoy the handle that comes on the Coastal reel. Can’t go wrong with a Daiwa reel.

"Mike's Tackle Box" on YouTube : A reel in a class of its own.

What an awesome reel.. this being my first real bait caster it’s completely night and day. I’ve had other entry level setups but nothing as smooth as this one. I’ve had the opportunity to finally use it in the surf and what a difference it made in my cast alone. The t-wing concept is awesome which I feel aids less in“birds nesting”. The 7.3:1 gear ratio is stellar compared to abu Garcia’s similar ratios. With the more pronounced hand assembly you can connect with the reel much sooner than with much smaller handles. I have paired this setup with 20lb J braid X grand 8 and was able to get as much as 170-190yards. As far as the weight goes 8.1 oz is huge factor when walking long distances to seek out fish. For smaller target species like surf perch or bass in general its great.

William Somerville : Beautiful reel! Have not had a chance to use ...

Beautiful reel! Have not had a chance to use it yet. I will update a review after I have a chance to use.

JoshH : I like the TWS on Daiwa reels

I like the TWS on Daiwa reels, really enjoy the handle that comes on the Coastal reel. Can’t go wrong with a Daiwa reel.

E.E. : Five Stars

Great reel!! Very smooth, light and super strong!! Already tested with Tarpons, Snooks, and Jack Crevales! Love this reel!

Kid T : Good middle of road reel

Pretty good reel for the money. Only issue is no matter how much you wash it the T-Wing starts to rust

Amazon Customer : Handle nobs are a bit oversized but not a Deterrent

Great inshore reel. I use 30lb broad and use mainly for top water. I get extremely long cast that was important for me bc I seatrout fish and I need to make long cast.

HeatSeeker : Superb

Great reel. Beats my Shimano Curado hands down.

Amazon Customer : Quality product

This is my first bait casting reel so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm sure its making the learning process easier.

Scott : Save your money and buy another reel.

Not really worth the price, seems cheaply built, had to clean and grease before first use.

Kathleen AManes : Wrong reel

Beutiful reel but its a lefty...I specifically ordered a right handed reel and Im on a time constraint so not super happy with Amazon right now.

Andrew B. : Great multipurpose baitcaster for saltwater and freshwater

Effective reel and downright beautiful blue finish. Drag clicks between settings precisely. No problems casting far, and retrieval and drag are both smooth. Feels sturdy with no loose parts. Looks so good you want to display it somewhere.
My first T-wing reel and my impression is it works well for casting, but it is not magic so don't expect that. The single-mode braking system is effective, very simple and easy to adjust. As with any good baitcaster, once dialed-in, had no backlash issues, but you do need to adjust it properly.
The stock handle and knobs are very ergonomic and one of the highlights for me, coming from the basic flat stock handles on most mid-price reels.
Buying direct from Amazon, my biggest concern was that this reel would be significantly larger and heavier than typical low-profile freshwater reels. It isn't. The increased size is barely noticeable compared to Abu Revo models.
Only one very small drawback, the tension knob does not have a clicker, but this is being pretty picky and I was able to adjust it just fine by feel.

Dusty Japp : Horrible

If I cast hard it makes a noise like an animal scream.

Jim J : Smooth casting and reeling in

Came packaged excellent , great casting distance with braid and the drag system easily adjusted

William U : Good reel for the money

So far the real has been excellent I use it to throw a Carolina rig on and also a big Jig

Jose A. Garza : Make sure the crank is on the side you need it to be before you purchase

I love this baitcaster. Very smooth casting. It is a little expensive but worth the money I say especially that it'll hold up in saltwater. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the description read right handed. I thought the crank would be on the left for right handers and maybe I didn't read it correctly. I have to cast with my right, then switch rod to my left hand to crank it with my right. Maybe I'll buy a second one with the crank on the left lol. S happens.. other than that, I love it!

Dusty Japp : Horrible

If I cast hard it makes a noise like an animal scream.

Kathleen AManes : Wrong reel

Beutiful reel but its a lefty...I specifically ordered a right handed reel and Im on a time constraint so not super happy with Amazon right now.

Scratch : Good

Good

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Very good reel, just an all around quality product.

Period Six Mining : This one makes me laugh at Lew's

Fantastic reel for the money and really puts a lot of Lew's to shame. Wouldn't take a Curado over it either. Do yourself a favor and buy it. Buy it now. You're going to love it. WHY HAVEN'T YOU BOUGHT IT YET????? Add to cart, go to check out. You'll never regret it.

SaltwaterSlick : Daiwa is BACK!!

Years ago, I had several old Diawa Pro Tournament series reels and I loved them and their magnetic casting control especially when changing weight and type of lures... I jumped on the Shimano Curado bandwagon and still have several of the old SuperFree's... They are great reels... I saw this one while doing some new real searching and decided to give it a try... All I can say is WOW! This is the smoothest casting slick winding and fish fighting reel of this class that I have ever had! I will sell my old Curados after a bit more hours with this reel. Am about to order another one. Daiwa has THE BEST magnetic cast control of all the major brands. When you change to a heavier weight lure, just a couple clicks up on the magnetgic control and rare back and let it rip for loooooong casting with zero over runs!

Update as of 4/29/19
This is my 4th purchase of this item. I have converted all my saltwater set ups over from old Curado Superfree reels to this reel... This reel is especially good for fishing (I mostly wade fish) when you have to cast directly into the wind... Anti-backlash control system is the best I've ever used.

You can call me Sir : It's Hard to Find a Good Saltwater Baitcaster

I fish from shore, and this baitcaster does the job. I have fished this reel 15+ times in chest deep water with 3ft waves. I sure did get hit with a few plus sized waves that put my reel under water (don't tell anyone). I have opened and inspected this reel before writing a review. What I found as a very slightly wet looking surface, which wasn't salt water (weird I know). It is possible that when I rinse the reel after every use, fresh water gets in there, though I dump water on the reel with a cup and do not allow actual faucet pressure to hit the reel, which could push debris into the reel housing. I also found the gears to be a little under greased. No joke, other than adding some grease and oil I found nothing noteworthy. No sand, no saltwater, no rusting. THRILLED WITH THIS PURCHASE!

Tony sun : Not good reel

I need a new reel my bearing not good

Jacob de leon : Worth every penny

Wow what reel...One of the best reels i have

james : Four Stars

Love it

Cliente de Amazon : Excelente

Excelente calidad y precio

Mstr_K : Polished. A piece of art

Good looking, highly polished, extremely smooth. However easy to get scratched.

Sara Murphy : Five Stars

One of my husband's favorite lures. It doesn't easily snag, so he uses it often.

E.E. : Five Stars

Great reel!! Very smooth, light and super strong!! Already tested with Tarpons, Snooks, and Jack Crevales! Love this reel!

Kathleen AManes : Wrong reel

Beutiful reel but its a lefty...I specifically ordered a right handed reel and Im on a time constraint so not super happy with Amazon right now.

Kindle Customer : I'm impressed so far!

I've been looking at these for awhile to put on a Dobyns Fury 795SB to throw swimbaits and top water chuggers. So far I am very impressed. I loaded the Spool with heavy braid, tied on a Whopper Plopper 110. I wasn't able to find the lowest brake setting. As it was I was reaching 50 yards across the pond and had to thumb the spool to keep from hitting land on the far side. It seemed a bit noisy casting, but it was a super smooth reeling in. The large knobs are awesome. At 1/2 the price of a Tranx, I am super happy with it. 4 Stars until I land a fish with it, find the low end brake setting, and throw a larger lure like a Spro BBZ-1. I'll edit after I have.

Lynn : Not Good

The reel screeches when casting. Trying to contact Amazon for replacement.

Dusty Japp : Horrible

If I cast hard it makes a noise like an animal scream.

Rob west : Good stuff!

Great real use for large swim and crank baits.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Awesome reel! Love the look, feel, and casting.
