Fishermen's opinions about Daiwa Heartland-HLD Trolling

Great rod and great price

10/26/2012 11:55:30 PM 5 of 5 stars 5 out of 5 stars

This is a great rod for wire dipsy use.With a twili tip it gives years of great service.It's got enough backbone to handle big divers,and big fish,yet not so stiff as to kill the fight of smaller ones.

For the money these Heartlands can''t be beat.The green color is nice as well.I''ve had a few of these and all have been great rods.

Great inexpensive trolling rod

Bought the 7' 6" planer board rod to replace one of the six I have. They are some of the best rods for pulling in-line boards that there are out there. Soft action with enough backbone for the big ones.

Works well for all but the biggest trout species; might not be heavy enough for 20+ lb salmon

These rods I know will hold up for many years, I fish Salmon on lake Michigan and so far they are doing what they were bought for . . . to have a back bone for the 20+ lb fish they will feel.

Best Buy for the money

7/10/2012 4:01:54 PM 4 of 5 stars 4 out of 5 stars

I bought my first Heartland in 2004, and still use it. It has caught countless salmon (kings and silvers) on downriggers. It has held up to abuse for all those years, and has a better feel to me than other brands I have tried. Also, the guides have held up. That's why I have purchased more, and the newer ones are even better. These rods handle #25-30 pound salmon without problems. They would probably do fine with larger ones, but since I haven't personally experienced that, I won't comment. These are ALWAYS the rods I grab when trolling for salmon in salt water off the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound.
