Glad you enjoyed! I wished i jumped on the Fuego Band Wagon when it was cheap on Amazon. I could have tuned that one too >_< but yeah these reels are great! Since CDM reels are all about shoving a shallow spool on their normal sized BC reels, the Tatula is a perfect candidate given it's a small low profile reel! I can't imagine doing the Tatula TW.. even smaller at size 32 MM Spool vs this/Fuego at 34mm!
With the smaller bearings, it takes less inertia to get them spinning. If you use heavier lures, it "burns" up the bearing- meaning it will over heat them and that will reduce casting and can cause permanent damage to the bearing if they get gouged. Ceramic bearings will continue their inertia longer so once they get going, they spin longer.
Don't think that would ever happen in reel tho ya? Like one would put thus reel on heavy rod and throw a super heavy lure.. and likely will run out of line before it can even generate that much rpm to damage the balls. At least not in a bfs reel.
@@rawrfishing yeah that's the theory but I personally never worked on reel with heat damage. I worked at a tackle store by the beach all we seen was salt corrosion.
What do you think about the fixed inductor spool vs the chameleon DIY spool? Is it better to hvae the fixed inductor or be able to use the mag z-force brake with light lures?
My roro spool for this reel (fixed inductor cup) was a bust. I have several videos of it earlier this year. Backlash galore and the gap for this reel and the spool didn't work out. the gap was too big and i kept getting the line into the reel. Now for my Daiwa Alphas Air TW, the roro spool is pretty awesome. So it's mixed feelings so far. But this spool so far is performing beautifully for the past few sessions. As per the end of my video, this reel sits above every CDM BFS reel up to date. but of course, the cost is much higher!
First step is to search the web to see if there is a spool for your reel. If so, purchase it and just take your stock one out and pop the new one in. Pretty easy :) I don't own a Tatula CT, so I am not sure if they have any. You can try Aliexpress
Believe it or not.. just my long ass finger nails LOL. try using a coin to twist the screw that is in the brake dial. once you loosen it, it should spring out letting you know you are ready to take the plate out.
let us know man! because it's supposed to be easy. but i know my LEXA had issue for the longest time, i can unscrew it but it never moved. Until i was like screw it and man handled it 4 years later LOL
@@rawrfishing Sounds good. Thanks. I'll see how things go. Got that Chameleon spool coming in like 2 weeks so I just wanted to make sure taking it apart wouldn't be sucha headache.
@@rawrfishing I was wondering what bearings and spool you'd recommend for lighter gear, not super light but to throw bass gear and move into bfs on that reel. It's a 34mm SV spool. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you Jimbo
@@metalman83 Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that reel so I don' t know what is available on the market. I would think you can do some finesse fishing with that reel. It's already a small form spool, shallower than your standard so you can finesse fish more in the Medium Light tackle realm. Try finding a shallower spool for it. i bet there are some!
@@rawrfishing I am able to cast a weightless zoom finesse worm on a 2/0 EWG hook into a little wind so yes it is decent. I'm going to make it better and appreciate your help and honestly. I'll look and see what I find. Keep all the great videos coming that get us and keep us into this awesome hobby!!
Long time fan man. Quick question for you. I got the Ray's bearings for my tsurinoya spirit fox. Does the placement for these follow the same rule for the spirit fox too? Flush towards spool and flush against spool?
awesome man! I was just following instructions from the Roro website on how to install their bearings! I don't think or believe that it would normally matter, but that's not my area of expertise. But i can tell you that the SpiritFox is fun with the upgrade :) much needed for the heavy spool!
haven't yet! i think most ppl experienced that on recording like high res stuff. I am just doing 1080p! If they let me do 2k loop mode at 60FPS i would do it, but they are jerks. They totally wont' let you do it, it's either 1080p or 4k... I'll tell you what im experiencing tho.. SD CARD ERROR!! nonstop -_- maybe my SD card is old. i'll give them that benefit of the doubt. I will format it one time using the GoPro and see if anymore comes around. but i also ordered another SD card, prime day woot!
@@rawrfishing I'm running the gopro 6 and was having SD card issues too. I just kept reformatting the sd card using the gopro and it eventually fixed it. That sucks to hear about the limitations on the hero 9.
It really sucks that GoPro is heavily used for UA-cam video productions, yet they don't communicate what the actual needs are. If we all can record on 4k, we would all do it because YT does a great job scaling down to lower res. But since i can't and won't, i was hoping i could at least do 2k... but looks like it won't happen!
@@rawrfishing Dang good to know, I'm planning to upgrade my PC rig soon to do 4k but that sucks to hear about the hero 9 having issues with high res recordings.
@@chuelee7201 hopefully an update will fix it. perhaps if you turn off many other features, it will work. gopros should probably not be black either. the sun makes it super hot!
Hi Jimmy, I noticed something in these roro's from aliexpress. The first impression is that they spins very well, only it seems that they came lub with a extra-fine oil because after a fishing trip, the water came in to the bearing and it starts to turn less, and when you are doing maintenance and cleaning the bearings it doesn't spin like before. So I believe they come from the factory with some specific high performance oil, the problem is that I didn't find any here, do you know of any that sells on Aliexpress? Are your zephyr roro like that too? Nice video my friend Thanks :D
That's a very interesting finding. What do you used to clean it? I haven't cleaned mine nor taken em apart. I would run them dry if I cleaned them. But all I have at home are some old school quantum hot sauce. Haven't really gotten a chance to try some new school stuff. I can make a post I guess for best bearing oil in the Facebook group I guess. I wanna buy stuff eventually for winter cleaning
@@rawrfishing I use lighter fluid or benzine, some also use kerosene. I saw that it is some of the liquids that are recommended for cleaning hybrid ceramic bearings and micro bearings. I never had any problems cleaning the bearings with these liquids, for ceramic and micro i don't use oil but for ordinary bearings I put a drop of oil lub or use silicone spray, the silicone makes the bearing lubricated too and much loose than with oil, the silicone it does not create a 'paste' inside the bearing, leaving it more run free. But these roro's after i clean them they run well but not like before, and after a fishing trip they are practically without any rotation.Try to make a test, use them and in the middle of your fishing open the reel and try to rotate the spool bearing to see if it continues to run well.
@@rawrfishing if the quantum hot sauce was very thin, I believe it helps in the rotation of the micro bearings, do a test with a droplet, if it doesn't work, just clean it with benzine, lighter fluid or kerosene.
Okay you sound like you done everything right. Now I am super curious on how these bearings will perform if I use it a lot and then take it out to clean. Now are both bearings like that or is it just one? It's so odd to see that happening. I do have a contact from roro, so hopefully they can help us understand their products more

👍 Want your stock bearings to spin up like crazy put a few drops of 1UP ONE racing bearing oil in them and they will free spin like crazy and when you re lube them again they even get more lose. you will thank me later..
Oh i bet! clean out the stock oils and one single drop of high performance oil and it will spin crazy. there are so many awesome low viscosity that will do the job :)
Great video 👍. Exactly the way my fuego was. Quite an interesting design haha. Tinkering and tuning reels is so much fun 😁👍.

What bearings did you use on your Fuego? I want to upgrade my bearings, spool and drag but I can only find parts for the Tatula.
Hey dude nice video thank you what is the different between the ray and roro microbearings?
Thx. Probably nothing much other than color of the outer sleeve being different color and rays may have a clip to keep the bearing in.
@@rawrfishing thank you fir the fqst answer bro 🙏
U bet man

You BFS Fish with that reel? if so, micro bearings can help throw lighter lures easier

@raWr Fishing if I get a alphas air for bfs can i still throw 5/8 ounce lures or 1 ounce lures with that reel if I swap rods for example?
Not made for that. The spool will likely get damaged and u won't have enough capacity for the thicker line for heavier lures.
@@rawrfishing gotcha appreciate the reply bro.

I beg to differ... Check the video description. Its in there. I have checked
is this the elite 100 tatula?
No it's not. Just regular Tatula 100 around 2018 or 19. They just dropped a new one for 2023 at icast. Not sure when it will be available
