Diawa Zillion 10.0 topwater/heavy cover, Diawa Zillion 2022 TW HD 8.0 pitching/flippin (New), Okuma Hakai 6.3 spinnerbaits & plugs. Shimano Vanford 2500.spinning for light finesse drop shop, shaky head. As a kayak angler I keep rods/reels to minimum & elite to cover all needed techniques & not to risk failure. Im not much on small baitcasters labeled "bait finesse" , I learned the hard way years ago that they can not hold up to 8 - 12 pounders. It's worth paying the money for elite reels "especially" if one tournament fishes & is serious angler. Those Shimano Vanfords are 4.8 - 5.3 oz. They can handle any finesse I need & are more sensitive in feeling bites than a "baitcaster finesse" reel. Tightlines Matt.
You should revisit the bfs and light lures with baitcasters. They can absolutely handle big fish. I throw light tackle very often on UL, L, and ML rods and land big reds.
@@rainbosprinkles6548 As I stated I learned the hard way. I've had big bass explode on my once light baitcaster finesse & had reels break from the rod an land in water an tried to recover the line but lost big fish due to the torque power of the bite. I do fish finesse but only with spinning reel as my Vanford is superlight for its purposed technique of drop shop, shakyhead. Everything else is Power reels an Elite quality. I've been fishing since I was 3, an now 46 yes old an a baitmaker & tournament angler ,I'm not gonna risk losing big fish anymore. Your able to withstand "reds" because you fish in low water an Reds don't jump, so your able to wear them down. Big bass get under stuff, over stuff, jump, deeper water & have bigger mouths an produce more torque power versus just dead weight to speed in low waters. Hopefully you understand the difference. Tightlines.
What rod in the tatula line up with the 7 ratio reel for bass casting soft baits and lures. I need it to be a solid utility set up for good all around fishing. I’m a female kayak angler but not a pro and just need a go to set up like I have in my spinning fuego set up. I can not have more than three rigs due to space. I have a ultra light fuego spin, a medium fuego set up spin and I need a baitcaster in that utility range to fish for bass or occasional striped might jump on. Any suggestions on a great size and weight rod is appreciated. One pice obviously 😊
I don’t know the tatula rod line up at all. For an all purpose rod to pair with the reel in this video, I’d recommend the 6th Sense Unicorn 7’3” MH for a higher end rod. For a rod that’s more budget oriented the 6th Sense Lux 7’1 MH. I have a discount code to 6th Sense you can use as well. The code is Luna10
@@MattLunaFishing not looking for a budget rod. I’m definitely looking for feel and performance and quality. Believe me, I’m a fly fisherman as well and I’m very particular about my rods.
Buying one this weekend!! Matt any idea what to do with a Lews reel I have that spins backwards while jerkbait fishing? I hear it's because of the cold weather? Any thoughts?
I’m not too sure. I’ve never used a lees to know what all the components on the are. If it’s reeling backwards, I’d think something is wrong! If you decide to try one of these reel, please use the links or discount codes in this video. Simply going to the websites through those links will let them know O sent you!
Do you know what the difference is between the models ? I just bought the SV TW 103 and mine is grey and red. I’ve also seen a black one like you have and also a grey and gold one. Can’t seem to find any info online.
Honestly i have no idea. I haven’t seen any that are different than mine. I have multiple reel in this model. Different gear ratios as well and they all look the same to me.
@@YummiTat3rs i have a few and i think different colors is a quick indicator of what gear ratio it is “oh red handle that’s 7:1, gold handle that’s my 6:3”
@Luc Godwin I know this is old but the Red on the handle means it's 7.3:1 gear ratio. The Daiwa Tatula SV TWS casting reels feature 2 CRBB (Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings) and U.T.D (Ultimate Tournament Drag). Hope this helps.
They are great reels! If you decide to get one please use my links in the video or from here: REELS I FISH WITH www.mattlunafishing.com/post/reels-i-use
Hey Matt. Looking at picking up one of these but you omnia link for a discount takes me to a different baitcaster and not the SV. Any idea how to remedy this?
I just ordered one of these. Wish I saw this before. Daiwas site called the 6.3 the Standard ratio so thats the one I got but Im gonna be using it for every bait type. Worms/jigs/swim baits/crank baits. Sounds like I got the wrong one and its not gonna work.
@@MattLunaFishing Looking into it more Im thinking the reason why Im seeing some say 6:1 and others 7:1 for all purpose is not taking spool size into account. I just did a IPT calculator and an epmty sv103 with 32mm (small reel so im guessing 32mm is a small spool?) empty spool does about 25inches per turn so it will get more with line on it. Im just getting back into fishing after a long life of spinner fishing into 10years of no fishing. Right now the walleye are in 10-15ft of water so just need something to get some Storm Thin Fins and grubs down there plus be able to catch the Jack (northern pike). Your making me feel beter about the 6.3. Thanls brother!
You’re welcome. I think you’re overthinking it. Here’s the easiest way to think about it. Slower dragging presentation, faster reel for line pick up, faster presentation, slower reel to not go too fast, and for the gearing to not over power the reel.
@@MattLunaFishing Im sure your right (about me over thinking) I just got bit on my last purchase and it caused me to get away from fishing for about 10 years. Loved my big Bros Ambassadeurs growing up and when I got my first one , it turned out to be the chinese 5601bcx and I could never get it to run right. Now my Son is getting old enough where hes showing an interest in fishing so I need a new set-up. Having such bad luck with my last purchase just has me leary.
I get that. This reel should do you right. You may need to add a little oil when you get it but that’s it. Some reels come from the factory with grease, so adding a little oil is good.
I sent my DC back to tackle warehouse. I bought two. The DC and the Tatula, I just couldn’t get over the gear box size on the DC and the weight. Very smooth but the weight and feel I just couldn’t adapt to it. Honest to Gods truth.
@@4492573 i own 3 of the 203 sv TW and after awhile I’m not a fan of the size and weight. I’ve recently realized that I’m a big fan of lower profile, light weight gear. Otherwise the reel cast and handles like a dream. EDIT: i swore it was the 203 but doesn’t show anything besides 103 on google… idk lol either way i love the reel but hate the size and weight. I do not use them for any jerking, popping, lifting techniques.
Interesting. I’ve never been unhappy with those things. The 103 is a smaller profile than the sv, but the shallow spool on the 103 isn’t good for deep cranking, Alabama rigs, or anything that you cast extremely far.
I have the original better. More lbs of drag and the aesthetics look way better. I hate the spider graphic on the new one. Also I love the colors on the gear adjusted wheel on the old models. Bass pro only sells the older 2017 model.
Definitely going to try one of these out. Appreciate the honest review. 🎣🤘

Glad you do! Thanks for watching!
Very fine review sir👍
Thanks! Thank you for watching
The Curado 150 MGL at 200 is fantastic as well. Shimano didn’t have a dog in the fight at that price until now
I’ve had my eye on that as well. Haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet.
I do love my 103, absolutely fantastic reel!
Great reel!

Check out the unicorn and sensory models!
What ratio do you like for your smaller swimbaits 6:1 or 7:1
I’d go with the slower gear ratio, but you can for sure still use the 7:1 as well. You just have to make to slow it down more.
at 3:23 you say the tw103 is looser in the spool vs the sv. Can you explain the impact of that please
It’s nothing negative. It’s more just a feel in the spool. You can tighten the spool as well with the brakes near the reel handle.
Buying one this weekend!!
Matt any idea what to do with a Lews reel I have that spins backwards while jerkbait fishing? I hear it's because of the cold weather? Any thoughts?
Could be the one way clutch. Shimano goes by ARB. Anti reverse bearing. Not sure why it only acts up when cold. Hope that helps you.
@@maddgoatee9708 Needs to be replaced or Lubbed?? Its a new reel.
@@SkunkMasterFishing If it's new send it back to the manufacturer. If out of warranty. I would try the lube first. Last would be replace that ARB.

Braid capacity looks to be 30/100 on their site, am I wrong?
I’d go with what’s on the aite
Braid is smaller in diameter than mono and fluorocarbon so 50 pound braid is like the diameter of 15 pound fluorocarbon something like that

Why would Daiwa NOT greasing their reels from the factory not be an issue for you? That screams lack of QC to me.
They do have grease on them. They need more oil.
