Hello Josh, I enjoyed your video. The first time I held a Tatula reel I purchased it, that was back in 2014. I've since added 10 more of various types/sizes and gear ratios to my collection. It is by far the best baitcasting reel I've ever owned. Thanks for putting out great videos and Tight Lines my friend...
Thank you for stopping by and watching and commenting. I half to agree they are the best Baitcaster I have used I love the way they feel in the hand and the way they cast. Will continue to buy them for sure. Be sure you follow us for more fishing videos
Enjoyed your video, Josh. I have two 100's and one 200. I messed with the factory spool tension on my first 100, (didn't read instructions thoroughly) and had an awful time getting it reset. Other reels just like you, mag brake adjustment and LOVE the way they respond and work. I've used Daiwa fishing reels for over 40 years
Great reels nice showcase, I recently got my first daiwa tatula CT I liked it so much and had much more fun fishing with it than my SLX DC that I now have a Tatula SV 103 headed my way!
I own an Abu Garcia Revo STX, a Shimano Curado DC and the 13 Fishing Concept Z. All significantly more expensive reels than the Tatula. Tatula 100HSL is my newest reel and immediately dethroned the Curado as my favorite reel. Casts so well, so comfortable, so smooth. I was able to pitch, flip and full on cast 3/16 oz lures with ease. LOVE IT!
I’m going to get me one of these. My current bait caster is a $50 Abu Garcia Black Max. I need an upgrade. I’ve have Daiwa spinning reels and I love them so I might as well give their bait casters a try.
I own about 5 lews reels, ranging from low to high end. Not the ti. But anyways. Hands down this is my favorite reel. I have the tatula 150hsl.. smoother then smooth is an understatement. No matter what I always backlash with my lews atleast once or twice and that's even after using them from about 3 years.. not one on the tatula on my first day. Absolutely love it. Probably going to get the steez next I think.
@@davidinman1656 these reels are very good and I love how they feel in the hand there are really comfortable to fish with thanks for dropping by and commenting we appreciate it
G'day Josh from Australia. I'm researching this reel to use on our local Murray cod. I found your review helpful enough to take the plunge and purchase one. Your video on this reel is two years old now, how has this reel faired out during that time? Reliable? Yep I've hit your subscribe button!
I own many of these reels in my opinion the Tatula is the best reel in its price range on the market right now. I believe you will enjoy this reel. Thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
This is why UA-cam is so good... Soooo, I just won this exact rod in a giveaway and thought to myself, "I could've sworn ol Josh and Hunter did a review of this I think" so I got to watch some people I actually already watch explain this rod to me. It's different when you watch people you know, than when you watch some random person. The believability is different
I like this reel a lot. I paired it with a 7'4" St. Croix bass rod and it works great. I also bought a Tatula 150 for a little heavier baits on a stiffer rod.
I’m thinking of buying one can I still throw it on a 7 foot 1 medium heavy and throw Texas rigs, jigs, chatterbaits, I just want this to be my most versatile setup
I have some reviews on some of the Revo reels if you would like to check them out I really like the Daiwa Tatula line though it is my favorite reel out right now thanks for watching
Nice reel bought two in different ratios, they cast very well until you try to throw buzz baits for whatever reason they tend to fluff during the slight change in wind. swaped the reel for a lews custom and had no issues with the buzz baits.
Wow i think you are the first person I have ever heard they says they got a backlash with a Tatula I can literally throw anything on it. Hunter ties on a Ned rig on it over the weekend and I laughed and said you are never gonna be able to cast that he said bet me and sure enough he did and even flipped it and pitched it was crazy. Thanks for stopping by and watching and commenting
A good all around line not sure what you will be using I would recommend a 12 pound monofilament line that would be good for about anything kinda middle of the road. But Yo-Zuri has a line out called Hybrid and it has been getting some great reviews and it is fairly cheap also I think you can get a 600 yard spool for $12. If you want just regular mono get the 12 pound Trilene Big Game. Hope that helps if you got any questions just ask I also have videos on how to spool a Baitcaster also. Thanks for watching
I like my reels to cast as far as possible with the least amount of effort. So I usually don’t use breaks. But I probably back lash more than a lot of guys.
I’m sure there would be times where long casts would be beneficial like throwing crankbaits. But for a lot of cases long casts are not always the case. But if you get use to a certain setting I’m sure you can manage the backlash
Here in the phillippines daiwa is a well known brand ..coz its durable and compy to use...nice im ur new friend from the philllipines keep safe always god bless
150 yards of 12 pound test they are great reels my favorite right now I love how they feel and how well they cast with the t wing system thanks for watching and if you have anymore questions please ask
The 100 is plenty big enough what size line will you be using? The 100 holds 150 yards of 12 pound line. If you need more line you may look at the 150. But I like the way the 100 feels in the hand. If you got anymore questions be sure to ask thanks for watching
just got my first tatula 100 a few days ago.. i’ve been using mainly shimano and have been iffy on the daiwas, but i’m really excited thanks for the tips! just earned a sub
The SOL hasn't been made for at least a decade. The Tatula 100 is as close to the SOL as you can get from Daiwa's U.S. models. JDM Daiwa the Alphas gets you closer to the SOL. I miss the SOL too.....
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 itsa $150 reel. Kinda pricy too. Im going to try the piscifun which is a $35 reel that apparently comes from the same daiwa factory. I don't know. Maybe the tatula i got is a bad one.. so lets give a piscifun a shot
@@reefgratos2035 the Piscifun has a T Wing system on them? I guarantee you that you need to adjust the Tatula is all I promise this reel will out fish the Piscifun. Think about what you just said $150 compared to $35. And this reel is not expensive compared to other reels on the market but I understand $159 is a lot of money but it’s not no where near as expensive as some of the high end reels out there.
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 ya there are reels over. $500. Unfortunately fishing is an expensive hobby. When you add all the the stuff. Lures and rods… and your vehicle, a boat if you using one (jetski, kayaks, paddle board…submarrine., ok maybe not a submarine but you got the picture, everything add up.. at the end there are just fishs..

I loved the Tatula's till I stepped up to the Steez A TW. The other day I was at the Japanese tackle store here in Japan and held the new Steez A II TW and it is on another smoothness level. The reel technology today is mind blowing and it just keeps getting better. :)
Well to be fair for the price of the Steez it should be on another level of smooth for the price they want for them. I can buy multiple Tatula reels for the price of one Steez.
It’s a cranking stick for square bills. 10-12 pound test you can still get a lot of line on it. Works great casts a mile to. Thanks for watching anymore questions let me know.
I have a couple of them. I like the size of them, usually I prefer Shimano's profile and size, but the Tatula 100 and SV TW feel real nice. They look better than Shimano reels also, IMO. My only problem with the Tatula 100 is when using Fluorocarbon, I have to use line conditioner even when using more expensive line or it's hard to manage at times, and even then it can be touchy, at ;east for me. But, overall they are nice reels that work, feel, and work good and you can often get them for a little over a $100 often. BTW: This is Kayaking Kev, I just changed my Channel name.
@@HardTrancer - You can cast any lure if the brakes are adjusted tight enough, it just won't go far. I know what you're asking though and to get decent distance, I like it to be at least 3/8 oz. But, it will cast 1/4 oz. just not that far. I like to throw a size 90 Whopper Plopper with it that weighs 1/2 oz.
I have never compared it to Curado I’m honestly not a big fan of Shimano reels just always liked Daiwa and Abu Garcia honestly if you try this reel you will probably love it
