Default Team Diawa Guys

I have a few Team Diawa rods that are probably 15 years old. I started cataloging all my gear and I am not sure what the TD rods are telling me. I have four rods...........they are:

TD-701-4RB (jig/worm)
TD-601-4FB (Spinnerbait)
TD-601-4RB (worm)
TD-601-3RB (topwater/twitchin)

The TD is Team Diawa. The 70 or 60 is 7ft and 6ft. From there, I am not certain what the code is telling me. Any ideas?

Tony

Not a daiwa guy but from what I see on their website it goes like this

The numbers are power
3=medium
4=medium/heavy
5=heavy

and the R & F is action
This is a gues on what they mean but i would think
R=regular action
F=Fast action

Here is a section from their website

Gottafish is correct.

The number is the power. A lot of brands use a number system, like Lamiglas, G Loomis, Dobyns, etc. Just becareful because all brands vary slightly in which number they designate as which power.

The R, or regular action, is more moderate than a Fast Action rod. on a worm and jig rod, I'd assume this would be like a MF action.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help.

With the rods being ~15 yrs old I didn't even think about checking their website.

Looks like the 1 in 701 or 601 probably refers to if it is a 1 or 2 piece rod.
