Great content man! Really appreciate you taking the time and putting this out for everyone in the market for new fishing gear! 👊
I appreciate that! Hopefully it helps.
Glad to hear your thoughts on it Brian. If it gets good remarks from you, people can rest assured that its a good rod. And especially at it's price point, I would say they hit home run with that one. You even got me tempted to pick one up just to try it.
Good review, as always bud. 👍
The old xt is awesome, my fishing buddy recently broke mine by stepping on it. Definitely gonna have to cop v.2. Great vid!
I have the 7ft Medium Casting and I love every bit of it so far, Also have it paired up with a Tatula CT100
great review! I have a couple of the xts including the new version. They are the best all around $100 rod out there period in my opinion. I also have a couple of tatula rods with the cork grip which is the next step up from the xt. At $150 they can’t be beat. They compare to other companies $250-300 dollar rods as far as sensitivity,light weight and overall quality. Being a budget fisherman I’m slowly switching my whole rod lineup over to tatula.
Thanks, just held 2 spinning models at sportsmans tonight. Quality review, thank you.
I can't wait to try the new xt I have a few of the older ones now and love them
One of the best bang for the buck rods i've ever held. 10/10 for price point
The previous gen I had 2 7ft med they both snapped in 1/2 on the load on casts about 1/2 way into the rod. Really like the rods though. I do use neoprene rod sleeves and take very good care of my gear. Used them primarily for wacky rig and shakey heads. They are very light and sensitive. Contemplating getting one of the new revamps.
Nice review Brian. They remind me of the old Lexa rods cosmetically.
Just picked one up we shall see 👀 how good it is looks amazing 👏
Just bought 1 yesterday 3,5 - 14g.
Crazzzy Rod....real in the 300euro qualität range for 79,99.
What great deal.
Very much reminds me of the Cronos line of rods that was replaced by the new Tatula, non XT and non Elite, line of rods. Nice looking stick. I have the 7'3" Cronos Spinning Rod and I am going to pick up the 7'3" Tatula XT to compare the two rods. The Cronos is a really nice stick, so it will be interesting to see how it compared to the new Tatula.
Just picked one after watching this video and used your code. Great video man 👍
Thank you for the support!!
I bought 2, 7 ft medium lights and use them for bait fishing for walleye, catfish, and carp. Good rods. Lighter than some of my Loomis rods.
I've been waiting for this review. I was one of the ones who got the spinning rod. And so far mines been great too.
Good to hear!
I actually just purchased one of these rods today at a local outdoor store and they had an entire rack full of them. I dont know if that speaks to the mass availability of them, but this local store most definitely wasn't in short supply of them
Daiwa truly is killing it these days. Have you tried the Rebellion glass rods? I just picked up the 7ft squarebill rod for my 12 year old son. Blown away. Looks great and weighs a gram less than my Madbull.
I got a tatula xt casting rod (7'3" MHF) with the new tatula 100 on it and i love the thing
Bought one to give it a try. Went with the ML 7 ft. Thing handled some 4 pounders on St Clair throwing Ned Rig very well. Obviously not quite as good at my $300 St Croixs or higher end daiwas but what a great rod for cheap. Throw a Exceler on it and you got a great combo for under $200.
Just got my Tatula XT 7' M/F spinning rod last week. I love it for a low budget rod. I have other much higher end $400+ rods and I'm am very happy with the overall performance/cosmetic of these cheapy rods for not even a 3rd of the cost. I still have some of Daiwa's older rod that came with the first gen x45 bais blank that is meant to prevent blank twist,lighter, and more powerful. The old Harrier and Steez were some of the earlier models that have them blanks. Of corse in Japan they have so much more older rods that came with the same x45/Xwrap rods before US ever seen them. Again a dollar for a dollar, no other companies can't compare to the 22 Daiwa tatula XT and the 22 Shimano SLX rods. Only to get the 22 SLX early was to go to the iCast conventions that passed already to get them from the Shimano booth. Great video review and tight LINES!
If you had to pick the XT or the SLX?
@@structurebe1 I have the Shimano SLX 7' MH not bad for $100 Today I was at International Sportsman Show and saw the new Daiwa Tatula XT rod.😲 if I had to choose one I would definitely get the Daiwa tatula XT. It is light and sensitive and cosmetically it blows the SLX out of the water. The Tatula rod looks like a $250 rod.
Just bought the 701m casting. For california aqueduct for stripers hope it works out
I like how Shimano & Daiwa are using the X Braiding in their lower priced rods. The new SLX and Tatula XT are gonna be hard to beat for a hundred bucks.
The SLX feels much better and lighter!
@@structurebe1 the biggest difference in the eyes. I prefer the Tatula XT even though I already had an SLX DC reel to pair with the Shimano rod. Both are really good rods, especially at around $100
I have the 7'3 heavy casting rod and it's a beast. However after 2 years the ceramic on the tip cracked in pretty bad. Im not sure from what but it lasted a while
Looks like the Blazon to me from afar. Black and understated is cool.
Excellent video 👌👌👌
Used your code to pick up a Tatula SV. Thanks
Appreciate the support! 🤘
Just picked up the 7’4 heavy. They had one in stock. Used your code. rod, sticker and tshirt out the door for 89 bucks.I have the old xt that is still good for the price. Look forward to catching on the new xt.
I want to try that rod!
I’ve been eyeing this rod. How are you enjoying the 7’4 Heavy?? Using it just for frogs or anything else?
I purchased a Med -fast 7-0 XT and it turned out to be stiffer than a Tatula Elite MH-fast "Howell" Power spin. Tested with weights not just feeling.
Im curious do people shop around and try lots of different rods and compare? Then once they find something they like they buy multiple of the same rods for specific fishing styles?
Hi can you explain about tatula 22 662 MRB-G? Cant find any explanation abt this rod. TQ
How does the sensitivity and the softness of the tip compare to the bass x
I've gotta agree. I don't think anyone is gonna beat that rod for the price, Shimano included. P.S. ironically I think the Nasci is the best fit for the spinning rod. Killer combo for under $200.
I don’t see how the nasci is any better than the Fuego 🤷🏽♂️
Other than a handful of reels and very few rods, I think are budget friendly and decent for shimano. I think diawa smokes them in that aspect.
I have a ultegra on one of mine. I still like Shimano reels over diawa but it’s a personal preference. Their pretty equal I think.
The new miravel reel from shimano is gonna be a nasci / old ci4 hybrid worth it for $30 more
How’s the action on the spinning rod?
Looks like a super nice budget rod, I wish it would have incorporated some cork though. I love cork lol
The regular Tatulas have the cork and are just a little more.
yea i’m a cork guy myself
Would you recommend this rod more than the Googan gold?
Thanks for the detailed review - for a 7' medium spinning rod for river smallmouth would you prefer the Tatula XT or the cork grip Tatula? Not worried about price difference. Thank you.
Personally I like the regular Tatula with the cork grip.
Hey man, loved the video. I’m currently hesitating between this specific 7’3M tatula XT and a regular tatula 7’3M. I love my tatula and I’m worried there will be a big weight difference between the two. What do you think? Should I cop this one or the regular tatula ?
I would step up to the regular one
Anyone used Ultralight baitcaster from this series? I wish to buy 1,8-11g but have no possibility to check it first... Thanks for feedback
What’s the difference between this one and the regular Tatula
Interesting they have a 7'0 med-heavy/fast and a 7'1 med-heavy/x fast (in casting line). And they both have the exact same lure rating and recommended line ratings. Seems kind of redundant. They do look sweet for that price though.
Thanks! With the huk shirt promo this is a no brain’er. Makes it a 45$ shirt and at 45$ rod if you wanna add it up that way. I’ve done several clothing promos over the years. Thanks Daiwa!!!!
I just got mine 7’1 MH at a boat tackle show for $54 and all I can say is I should have bought three. The sensitivity is awesome, light in hand I have it paired up with a Tatula 200
Is the 7'3" spinning accurate with the low lure ratings? Looking for a cheap rod to not worry about that can throw 1/8oz underspins. something on the lighter end of medium or heavier end of ML
I would say yes, it's got a pretty soft tip.
Nice Review! But I thought you'd find the new Exist boring as claimed by your gram so often.
It's boring looking, but I still want one 😎
@@PunchFishing Yeah, got one a few months ago, can't say I'm dissapointed!
Is this worth the extra money over the daiwa aird X?
This is a bit off topic, but, I'm looking for a chatterbait rod around $200 and wondering if you have any experience with the Tatula Bass Glass 7'4" heavy moderate VTC72HM Rip'N Chatter? I'd love to know how much it weighs. I don't want a glass composite rod that feels like a club.
Buy the 7’1 MH Tatula XT it’s a extra fast action, it works good when throwing chatterbaits
daiwa caldia ul or tatula xt ul?
You didn't mention the Braiding X. Does it give the rod feeling like a Rebellion or Zodias with those carbon tape wrapping?
I don't even know what the braiding X does. It only goes little ways up the blank. I'm not sure what benefit it brings honestly. It doesn't cover the whole rod
@@PunchFishing It's Daiwa's version of Hi-Power X. I was hoping it be wrapped through the tip. I like it because rods with it tend to have more power and in return reduces the thickness of the blank.
Bought a Tatula Cork over the new XT, only reason i went cork was due to XT being ML
I love the regular Tatula rods!
Máy câu gì thế pro?
Atleast they put the reel seat where is belongs!!!!
I'm at a stale mate right now between the new tatula xt, the cork handle tatula the 150 one, or the St. Croix mojo bass rod. Looking for a good smallmouth rod for the river. What's your opinion?
Honestly, I've used the XT.. the Cork handle Tatula and the Elite. I think the best bang for the buck is the cork handle Tatulas.
@@PunchFishing right on, do you prefer a fast tip or extra fast tip for ned rig?
Thanks man! Love the videos by the way. I'm a ned head to the core. Even when I know I probably should be throwing a small swimbait or jerkbait, or crank, I still use the ned.
They remind me of the old dawia cronos rods.
They really do.
I'm gonna sell my extra Omen Black and get the Tatula XT!
Do you know why the Medium 2 piece is rated 1/8 3/8 and the 1 piece is rated 1/8 3/4?
I do not.
How do you know it’s better than the new SLX line of rods?
I don't. Might be a while before the new SLXs are actually available anywhere.
@@PunchFishing yea good point
Can your code only be used once/month? I used it last week on an order and now I just tried placing another order and it won't let me. It says it's already been used.
It's a one time use code, but we have a new one each month.
@@PunchFishing Gotcha. Yeah, I've used it quite a bit.
Shimano SLX review??
Honestly I'm not very interested in them, I don't think I'll buy one
i know you dont like the brailist but i have yet to see a review done like you do on it.
Brian I purchased a Rebellion 7'3" MH the blank is thick at the handle area. This rod is uncomfortable (not impossible) to palm even using a Curado 150. The MH rod has a parabolic action I wasn't expecting.
I bought this rod to drag a jigs and Texas rigs when bank fishing but the rod feels more like a crank bait rod. The Rebellion rod is good looking but the rods thickness in the handle is a turn off. Very disappointed! My other Daiwa Rods from $150 Tatula to my Steez are modern marvels. The lightness and styling of the cheaper models in the Daiwa line up made the Rebellion is a disappointment to me.
That's my $.2. thanks for the reviews you've turned me into a boujee rod and reel guy.
sounds like you just picked the wrong rod. I believe you got the MH glass rod designed specifically for cranking. You need to get the MH ex fast graphite for pitching Instead of blaming daiwa
@@goryglory729
That rod is ok for deep diving cranks but the real problem is the diameter of the blank at the reel seat. Blank is too fat.
Tried using your promo code to buy these rods and no luck. Code is invalid 🤷🏻♂️
Daiwa is code protected unfortunately
No need to quell your Diawa Fanboy-ism here. It only reinforces my own Daiwa fanboyish ways. So I just picked up a "Millerods Crankfreak" and was wondering if you had tried anything in their line yet. I hear good things.
I have only held them in a store and they seemed pretty nice!
Your code doesn't work. i just tried it
You never reviewed the tatula elite rods…
I've owned several in the past and they are pretty good! I've never done videos about them though.
Amazing to think how 5 years ago, 100 bucks would get you an absolute sponge.
I like the old tatula xt better tbh
You're not alone! I think the current ones are pretty nice though.
What the difference between the Daiwa Tatula XT M vs Daiwa Tatula XT MF
I'm not sure.
Got The tatula Medium xs and ML fast and the casting just sucks. previous verion is better, felt lighter more sensible and you can cast further.
I could care less about how it looks? I go by the weight, feel, guides & reel seat.
The crazy bright colors that you can damn near see in the dark , or can be identified from across the lake kills me. There has been rods that I like the feel of but didn't buy simple because the loud colors. Idk just feels like a kids rod or someone that wants attention. Just not a fan . I can deal with a Lil logo, but the lews, 13 fishing kinda colored rods, and reels just not for me. To each their own tho .
If you think these rods are great, you don't know anything.
You clearly don't watch the rest of his videos.
I am clearly telling you Daiwas and Shitmano rods are garbage.
What rods do you prefer?
@@PunchFishing What difference does it make when people are criticizing me? Fact is I do know and experienced some of the best rods in the world. Also, best rod is relative to what you do. To me, best rod has many factors not limited to just quality or performance, performance being first. Where these Daiwas and Shimano lack is quality, namely blank integrity. When buying a rod, you have to also consider feel both in you and in the way the rod handles besides purpose. That said, it takes experience on the water. There is a lot of misunderstanding in this field, even by the professionals. In simple, the best rod sets the hook for you. You don't have to even set the hook. Second best is one that sticks them everytime you go to set the hook, slightly two different thing but same concept.
For the most part, people buy rods out of necessity. Then when they think they're skilled or smart enough, they buy according to hype or personal experiences. In many cases with these Asian rods, they buy solely for the name sake. If you buy rods on these premises, you will do ok, and sometimes have a fair advantage, but you will never become elite. A man who truly knows rods will start at the bottom. That's fact. Same for anything you try to be elite in like boxing or fighting or poker.
I am interested in getting the Daiwa Tatula XT 7'6" Extra Heavy. Do you think it would be a good rod for dragging 1/2 to 3/4 oz football jigs, 1/2 to 3/4oz swing head jigs and cranking 1/2 to 1oz jig heads with Keitech swing impact paddletail swimbaits? You kind of alluded to the idea that the rod is kind of tip heavy. Since the 7'6" extra heavy is the longest one in the series, do you think the tip heaviness could potentially be a problem and be cumbersome and fatiguing for working football head jigs over rocks with a 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock tip up rod movement? If you think the rod would be too tip heavy, do you think I should regulate the rod to just fishing jig head swim baits and swing head jigs since you are mainly fishing in a tip down/4-5 o'clock position anyways and therefore can forgive the tip heaviness a bit and not let it be a deal breaker? Do you think the 7'6" extra heavy would work for treble hook baits too or would the tip be too fast?
Can’t find this fucking thing anywhere lmao
Edit: just copped mine and already did a fishing session.. omfg I’m so thankful I got the xt. Bronson and Bronson came in clutch for me today
What’s your code? I dont have Instagram.
The current one is OMPUNCH22OCT
