*Used this rod recently on a river hike in NH. It performed beautifully **enjoyable.fishing** recommend as I had hoped it would, on a whole heap of river smallies using tiny torpedoes and tubes.*
I've been using the Daiwa tatula spinning reals on my finesse setups and they are amazing. after hearing what you had to say I will be looking into the baitcasters now as well.
Picked up a lexa 300 hd this year and man that things awesome. Using it for moderate size glides 6-9 inch and some soft baits in the same size range. Handles everything I throw on it flawlessly and quite effortlessly. Super easy to get dialed in too. Love that thing gonna outfit my new swimbait rod with the same thing. Really really like the powerhandle on it too. Balance is spot on
@@OliverNgy and I have small asian hands too lol so low profiles definitely Palm better than round reels. Man you missed an amazing upper midwest warm front this week into early next. Your Wisconsin buddies have got to be smashin’ them
I just got a 7’9” Heavy Tatula swimbait rod, planning on throwing mainly 6” hudds, A rigs, and glide baits up to 200 at the most, mostly stuff like the arashi glide and s waver 168. Would you go with the Tatula 200, tatula 300, or lexa wn 300?
Nice brotha!! Just wandering, have you checked out the Daiwa Schrapnel?? OMG, SOOOOOO sweet!! My Calico reel..love that you came over to Daiwa brother.❤️🤙🤙
Hey bro, I truly appreciate what your doing, Megabass products was for a while that white buffalo but your format made it more known and accessable for the masses, truly dig that bro!! Fish on, follow that rainbow 🤙🤙
Late to the party here but which 300 would be better for primarily back bouncing catfish in heavy current? Casting distance is no concern, heavy bait from 4-10oz with anywhere from 1-80 pound fish… or recommend something else. I want to stay with 300 size because palm it all day long while bumping bottom.
I'd go slower gear ratio Bradley! More torque and power to winch them big slimy bastards off the bottom. There is no clicker but I didn't find that to be a problem when we were fishing blue cats on the James river.
Hey Oliver, Im pretty new into fishing and starting with a crappie setup and a moderate budget setup for cranks, jigs, and texas rigs etc. I wanna get into swimbaits! I don’t have a boat so ill be a banker for a while. I was looking to invest into a proper swimbait setup where I can cast far from the bank and invest into take 2-8ou swimbaits. Would I go for the 7:1:1 or the 6:3:1? Also I was looking into the swimbait casting rods daiwa made that are 9” to pair with this reel for $100 bucks.
Milan! Welcome to the sport!!! Sounds like you're off to a great start! Those Daiwa rods sound like a great starter option. I'd suggest the 6.3:1 as my bank fishing is generally a much slower presentation. Good luck in your learning journey!
@@OliverNgy I've tried but with a messed up spine that is curved,twisting and shrinking dur to a rare type of scoliosis it gets a lil hard at times. I have one bait caster that took me forever to get and it's a lews it's been doing the job for now.
@@OliverNgy I know. If I were to get one I'd buy a handle to go with it. I just got a new reel I'm trying out for a season before I buy another one. Is the lexa aluminum?
@@OliverNgy Drt anything is dope I liked the gomexus so far but haven't had em long enough to say. Ty for replying you totally changed the way I fish. 🙏
I love your channels. So, Im wanting to set up a rig for the lake where you won 100,000. What would you suggest? Im a newbie to swimbaits. I own a couple of the magdrafts but Im wanting to expand my horizon into this swimbait scene.

The Tatulas are awesome, I will be getting some soon!
I just picked mine up a couple days ago and have fallen in love!
I've been using the Daiwa tatula spinning reals on my finesse setups and they are amazing. after hearing what you had to say I will be looking into the baitcasters now as well.
You're gonna have some fun! Enjoy!

That 50 incher catch was epic! Super rad! 🤙🏻🔥
Love my LEXA-WN 300 HLS!The best reel purchase I made this year.🤙☮🙏😎
Hellllll yes! Love the mail call!
Loved the stream bro 👊
@@legionssb thank you my dude!!
You look like such a fun dude to be around 😂 Great content bro
Just waiting this whole vid for bud in the back to hook up lmao. Just ordered the tatula yesterday I’m stoked
So sick!..🤤🤤...I picked up a Tatula 300 after watching this video......great videos like always! 🎣🏆
I really do like mine's a lot I am so happy I got one
I'd love to see the 300 Tatula in a slower gear ratio, like a 5:8 or something like that. Is the only thing that keeps me on the "Tranx team"
Instablaster
Onagher!! Love it, big ole Mideavil catapult!! CATOOOOOSH!😆🤙
It's a great rod for 6oz softbaits!!!
💪💪28 lbs or drag,holy “BEEP” 🔥
If you simply can’t afford this reel, take a look at the Okuma Citrix 364. Hell of a reel for a great price!!!
Awesome video!
I’ll definitely have to try a Tat 300. My JDM Daiwa Catalina just doesn’t have the spool capacity needed for big baits. Thanks for posting
Impressive line capacity for a 300 sized reel for sure! Enjoy!
@@OliverNgy and I have small asian hands too lol so low profiles definitely Palm better than round reels. Man you missed an amazing upper midwest warm front this week into early next. Your Wisconsin buddies have got to be smashin’ them
Think the tat 300 is enough to handle a 8" Huddleston? Just picked up one and I want to spool it with 65lb braid to 30lb leader just for this
Yes the tat 300 is fine for 8 inch huds. Once you get to 10inch huds then I would go with a tranx 400 or 400 size reel
Thank you !!!
Nice carpet decal @Parker
Tatula 300 my next reel for big pike
I love my Lexas!
Thanks for the video! Does the Daiwa Tatula have a clicking drag as well?
The Tatula does not have a clicking drag. The 13 Fishing Concept A3 which I've used all this year does however. bit.ly/3zrQv4j
I fish the original Lexa 6:1 for deep diving cranks in the saltwater. It’s perfect for it. 20lb Fluoro
Awesome 👍, Thanks
Sooo honest answer. TranX300 or Tatula 300?
I liked the Tranx 300, I LOVE the tatula 300
I just got a 7’9” Heavy Tatula swimbait rod, planning on throwing mainly 6” hudds, A rigs, and glide baits up to 200 at the most, mostly stuff like the arashi glide and s waver 168. Would you go with the Tatula 200, tatula 300, or lexa wn 300?
I'd suggest a 300 sized reel like the Tatula or 13 Concept A3
Ive already got my rod but i cant decide on what reel to get. Im stuck between the tatula 300 and the tranx 300.
Love the Tatula 300! Have also wrecked them on the Tranx.
Nice brotha!! Just wandering, have you checked out the Daiwa Schrapnel?? OMG, SOOOOOO sweet!! My Calico reel..love that you came over to Daiwa brother.❤️🤙🤙
Not yet! Might have to get my hands on one!
Hey bro, I truly appreciate what your doing, Megabass products was for a while that white buffalo but your format made it more known and accessable for the masses, truly dig that bro!! Fish on, follow that rainbow 🤙🤙
I Have The Lexa 400WN,I Shoulda Got The 300 Size.
How much 20 pound fluorocarbon will it hold?

How do you think it will handle these big 20+ pound king salmon and striped bass out here in the delta up through the sac feather and American?
Just caught over 150 stripers up to 38lbs on the Atlantic Ocean in current. It will do beautifully!
What is the different 200 and 300 daiwa tatula Bro
A TON. Overall size, gearing, drags, everything. The 300 is a BEAST.
Had to pick 150-200 tat or lexa 200-300. For all arounder reel (bass/pike/musky)?
300 size tatula personally.
@@OliverNgy also looking the abu garcia zata casting combo. (On sale rn) have u used it, if so whatcha think?
@@zoomzoomgt no experience. I'm of no use to you here.
Wat rod was you using on that 50inch musky
MEGABASS BLACK JUNGLE OGRE 👊

Can you cast lighter lures with it?
Throws a frog a loooooing way...
Man I can't even afford a cheaper reel. Those 300s are nice
for a LONG time, neither could I brother. Use that as motivation.
@@OliverNgy I've tried but with a messed up spine that is curved,twisting and shrinking dur to a rare type of scoliosis it gets a lil hard at times. I have one bait caster that took me forever to get and it's a lews it's been doing the job for now.
Don't give up my man! When there's a will, there's a way! Wishing you good health...
@@OliverNgy thank you man means alot and no sir I won't ever give up.
How do you get so many reels are you sponsored?
I bought these particular reels. But I do have brand relationships with both Daiwa and The Hook Up
Send me the old ones
Didn’t know they were called
Tat-oola
I wish the lexa HD came with the double paddle handle. that’s the only thing that keeps me from buying one.
You can always swap handles or even trade someone 😉
@@OliverNgy I know. If I were to get one I'd buy a handle to go with it. I just got a new reel I'm trying out for a season before I buy another one. Is the lexa aluminum?
Conquest 300 :)
Tatula 300 saltwater rated?
We have fished them successfully in saltwater without issue.
Do u upgrade ur handles?
I have only fished the stock handles so far. Thinking about trying some aftermarket options though. The DRT Handles look DOPE
@@OliverNgy Drt anything is dope I liked the gomexus so far but haven't had em long enough to say. Ty for replying you totally changed the way I fish. 🙏

@@OliverNgy Thank you
28.7lbs of drag... good lawd
Bro. Neck breaker of a reel LOL
@@OliverNgy no doubt! I’ll get my hands on one, I’ve been using the new Lexa WN for my A Rig and Big M 4.0
Nah. The lexa or prorex is better
Oliver we have been messaging back and forth on Instagram man I love my Daiwa for glide baits
