Tackle Advisors okay thanks. You also said in the video that it was very smooth when using moving baits, would you use it for jigs or soft plastics though?
It's smooth... But the curado is more refined. The tat does feel and sound a tad on the plasticy side. I also work jigs and some plastics one handed by flicking the drag star and I'd have liked to see a metal drag star.
I love watching you pick out bird's nest it makes me feel adequate. Great channel, I'm always mesmerized by your knowledge and ability to explain as you tear down a reel.
The Tatulas always caught my eye and attention but i haven't purchased one YET! I might change that soon enough thanks again and keep up the great work!
I took your advice and got a Ballistic LT 3000 with a Backbay 7’6” MXS. Holy is this combo lite and sensitivity?! Insane. Awesome backbone. Again thank you.
@tackleadvisors thanks for producing this. Great info. I’d like to see if tightening the spool tension on the 4 setting would help manage the blowups without sacrificing distance.
My tatula ct brake is set at 5. I can throw home made spinners made with 1/4 oz bullet weights, without thumbing the spool. Got it pared to a piscifun torrent 2 piece 7 foot worm rod. The red spool and tension knob look great with the red accents on that rod.
Man you just help me so much, I have the curado 70i with 10lb braid and I never thought about theLeader being a factor. Im new to bait casters but I’m surprised at how light a lure the little curado and cast 4.5 gram lures are the lightest I can throw :)
After having watched another “reviewer” last night I’d like to thank you for actually knowing what you’re talking about. Never thought I’d have to thank a reviewer for knowing the products he’s reviewing, but apparently on UA-cam with fishing reels, it’s not a prerequisite to making a review channel. They should make a certification process lol if you can’t explain how it works, what the components are and do, you can’t make a review video. But that’s just my opinion haha so thanks again I appreciate the work you put in.
After seeing this I would buy one looks easy to use and sounds impressive so I am going to have to get one of them and the missus will be so happy haha 🤙🤙
I was an abu guy forever until I got a tatula. I think they are the best reel for what they cost. Smoothness and distance are unmatched in my style of fishing and other than super high end reels and dc reels I've fished them all. Tatula #1 Danielson
Dumb question. I just bought my first two big casters after spinning reels all my life. Still getting used to him but I went with this real because everyone said it was a great value for the money and something I definitely would grow into. Also bought a Lews Speed 2 SPL. But it seems even experienced fishermen still have to pay way more attention when using a bait caster so I’m wondering what the real advantage is?
Great video! I am looking to get my first baitcaster and am looking at the Daiwa Tatula SV TWS or the Shimano SLX DC. Which one would you recommend between the 2 or would you suggest something different. Thanks again
First of all, have to tell you I love all of your videos and in a couple of days I prolly watched 90% of your videos. Great explanations and good examples. Sorry for popping up just like this, but gotta ask you a question. I am quite an experienced in fishing but been using spin reels and rods, so gonna go for a first baitcasting combo. The place where I live and usually go for fishing has a a lot of pikes, down from 3lbs to Max and very rare 12lbs, and very low catch rate on bass. The baitcasting reel that I'm interesting is kastking Spartacus plus, and planing to combo it with kastking Blackhawk II. Is that a good combo considering what I'm planing of fish? The main bait I use and is very efficient here is 0.88 ounces and 5.5 inches long, but sometimes I use a bit heavier spoon type of bait. If the combo is good, which lenght and power black hawk ii rod should I go for? Thanks a lot buddy. Keep up the good work
I have a Daiwa Prorex 200HLA paired with a Daiwa Prorex XR 40-80 g 7,6’ rod. I use that setup for pike (super light setup btw). Now, I would like to see how the prorex would preform throwing lighter lures compared with a tatula in the 200 size. So, is there any chance you could get your hands on the Daiwa Prorex 200? I recently subscribed to this amazing channel by the way!
I’m looking to purchase one of these reels. I’ve used daiwa before but never with the “zero adjuster” setting. Daiwa states the only thing you touch on this reel is the magforce z dial and to leave the spool tension alone. What is your opinion on this
"Walk like an idiot!" Good info on the reel. I only have 1 diawa reel and it's an older zillion. Sweet little thing, but it was before the introduction of the "t" wing system. Still casts like a dream though. Merry Christmas to ya bud.
I was makin fists with my toes....or tryin too lolol....I sold off my zillions along with my TDZ's........I was given a prototype pre manufacture zillion t wing and capitolized on the rarity $$$ :) was a fun reel too. Thanks Man!! Merry Christmas to you too!
I imagine you are aware of the muskies in the RR and the canal. I want to get back up there before I pass away. I’m still in disbelief that we’ve not crossed paths in the past.
I'll be giving it away...just make sure to drop a comment when you see my 13 concept z vid drop. I'm selecting the winner out of that pool of comments. Giving away a curado dc too
Hey sorry for bringing you back to an old video. I’m looking for a new bait caster and I’m stuck on this or the tatula 200 hs. Which would you recommend? Or would you recommend another bait caster in this price range?
I just got the 200HD LTD version for a swimbait rod and i love it! works very well from 20-100g. If i had to choose between the new tatula 100, the type R and the CT type R, whih one would you choose for a ML Rod?
What size reels are good for New Jersey / Northeast surf. I'll mostly be fishing jetties and in and around nj beaches for stripers and sharks. I was thinking a gosa 8000 or slammer 3 6500 or a bg 5000. I'm not sure if it's too big for stripers or too small for sharks. I do need a bigger reel since I can only afford one combo and I go down to the cape cod canal every now and then
I backlash a little bit and I think it is because of the zero adjuster but I dont want to touch it. The reason i think it that is that if i change lures no matter what it backlashes I usually thow it on 6 or 7 what do I do.
Another great addition to your video lineup. I have a love-hate relationship with my Tatula type R. Like yours it casts a mile and is very smooth. BUT it breaks lines . I tried changing rods and use different types of line (flouro and mono) and after a dozen or so incidents I took it to the tackle shop. The resident expert (and accomplished tournament fisherman) told me he has heard the same thing from a few other people. After maybe 30 to 40 long casts the line breaks right at the reel spool. Maybe something defective in the T-wing? Anyway it is now a braid-only close quarters combat reel. Too bad.
The only time you can break off on the cast is if there is a nick in the levelwind and it cuts the line or there is an abrupt stop.....And generally abrupt stops aren't enough to break the line bass fishing with light gear.....so it's that mid flight jamb up that causes massive friction and causes breaking. There are tons of things that can cause that...
I do suspect the T-wing is my problem. No abrupt stops other than my thumb as the lure hits the water. Since this is the only reel that has ever done this in over 40 years of fishing I'd have to suspect some kind of defect. Thanks for the response. @@TackleAdvisors
Cool! They rebounded so much I swear they pushed out the hawks. I've seen multiples along that river at a time. They drained the second largest lake in the state for 2 months. It's gin clear. The rivers cleared up something crazy and it was eagles and ospreys all over
I prefer Daiwa reels that have the Free Floating Spool which this reel doesn't have. Guess I'll stick with my T3 SV and T3 1016H-TW. Both reels working great and I like the fact that there was a drag clicker mod for it.
I like free floating spools myself. But man......I really want proof that it makes a difference......my aldebaran bfs isn't a live spool. My DC mets, conquest and others aren't.....My Mgx's steez sv tws's are.... I really don't know where it makes the difference......light lures or max distance. And how much of a difference is it. Its unsprung weight.....but it's not on the outside perimeter and does that make it different. Know what i mean?? :)
Can you please clear up where the spool tension is supposed to be set? some say leave it sloppy and some say adjust it like any other bait caster with the weight of the lure with a slow fall. I have it set now with just a little clunk side to side. Not sure if I'm right or wrong.
Hey Bob, It's personal preference......Me personally. I want absolutely zero friction added by the tensioner....as I feel that's what the brake is for. So i set it to allow a tiny bit of side to side play...but not so sloppy as to allow it to move away from the magnetic field of the brakes. If I need friction I'll use a heavier or more oil in the bearings.....and I don't unless I'm on the field looking for hydraulic braking and need to tame a reel when pushing lead out beyond 600 feet. The tensioner and it's function is really no different than any other tensioner on the market.
You should do a lews review. I had a lews tournament prog($200) that came in and my god its casting smoothness is rediculas. The smoothness in general is incredible and its only 6.3 ounces. I caught a redfish on it and it held easily. Only problem is the drag... Its hard to explain what happened. The drag like stopped having tension. I fixed it just by pulling out line using the drag for a good 10 feet of line and it works well again. Im very impressed with it. Bought it at tacklewarehouse for 120 and it didnt have tax. This reel feels like the 250 range though, so thats an absolute steal. Felt the classic speed spool and wasnt impressed though.
@@bradenhopkins8017 it's some pretty good deals on them out. I even found my ProTi pretty cheap around then, still not a bad weight considering all the metal.
I just bought a Tatula CT Type R 100h on clearance for $90. Almost bought the new model but I didn't care for ergonomics & its an extra $50. Hopefully I won't regret my choice.
You can't go wrong with the CT or CT Type-R. I have been reluctant to try the 100 because of its price point and that horrible spider logo matte paint job. That reel in my opinion is not worth $160. I will probably buy another CT Type-R before they are all sold out.
Been using a couple of these over the past spring and summer and they are now my loudest reels...bearings are loud, does not crank smooth anymore either. Tore them down and greased just the right amount, oiled all the bearings etc and they are both still the worst reels I have :-(
FWIW for those considering in purchasing. I’m a Daiwa fan and have a Curado and this Tatula. The Tatula feels plasticky. The Curado feels more premium. Despite this difference they are both functionally great for the price. If you step up to the Tatula SV TW then it would be a night and day better.
My sentiments exactly and what I've said in a few replies so far having all the curados. Tat 100 is a great reel. As smooth as the curado. But the curado is much more refined as the Tatula definitely has that plasticy feel...
The T wing system doesn't fit my style of fishing when im fishing with baits where sensitivity is important (worms, jigs) because I have big hands and palm the entire reel and keep my index finger under the line in front of the T wing so I get maximum feel thru the line. Doing that lifts the line into the top of the T wing and the line builds up on one side of the spool rendering the levelwind useless. I use my Tatulas for other baits where feel isn't that critical.
I noticed the Tatula 100 doesn’t have the Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings like the CT Type Rs and SVs. Do you notice a downgrade in smoothness from those models or is it not noticeable?
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the crappy drag star. Aluminum would be nice. It's smooth like the others. But feels a little plasticy compared to the curado K
I fished one twice now.......for me personally I don't have a use for one but for power frogging or pitching......I could see it being useful. But for me it would be limited to exactly that.
I like the green fins 40g but buy at your own risk... It's white with a colored core. Fireline Ultra 8 is great but mid cast over runs like you saw in this vid can cause a break off where most braids survive. Sufix Jbraid not the biggest ultra cast fan
I did. Looks "interesting" same as the new DC. Not sure if I'm impressed. Shocked shimano let another year go by without addressing the 150 to 250 spinner $$
Speaking of leaders, what's your experience with the FG knot and the TWS reels? The other day tactical bassin said that they are not fans of TWS cause the connection knot gets stuck too often, but they use a blood knot all the time. What do you think?
@@gregred78 really it depends. Most of them are gonna perform close enough to not be an issue. With the Diawa you can have the Twing, which I've heard some say it helps tons and others not care for it, but it's some really good deals right now. I know academy has a Revo Alx I believe marked from $180 down to $130, and it's light if your on the water long periods.
@@gregred78 I never used the current alx. But loved the revo mgxtrmeme 2 aside from the wimpy 7lb max drag. If it's the same platform minus the "luxury" things such as the carbon handle, mg frame, hybrid bearings. I'd still probably go with that. Dig up some drag info as the mgxtreme states it's 12 lbs or something like that but it's not. Full spool or empty its around 7. 5.5oz if that weight is accurate is game changing weight.....My metaniums are heavy compared to my steez..and for some reason it's noticeable.....and I like tiny reels...the tatula is small. But that mgx platform is miniscule. Really cool. And some shops are selling it cheaper than the tat.
The new DC looks interesting. Curious if it will out perform my Calcutta DC or if it's just a fresh coat of paint. I want to see the new stradic and what they're going to do with it lots of potential there.
@@TackleAdvisors Then your effects weren't very accurate. Next time you use any of the Tatulas, you must remind your viewers throughout the video how superior the Curado K and Curado 70 are compared to the Tatula.
LOL.....in all fairness...the curado is a more refined reel than this thing.....this is curado smooth but the curado doesn't feel as plasticy in feel....It doesn't have that shimano butteryness that the higher end daiwas have
Based on your time spent with the tatula 100 how do you feel it would be for an application such as tossing larger 3/4oz mepps, daredevils and rapalas for winter/spring pike? or would something else like the Abu Revo X be a better option? (rod I'd have it on is a Fenwick HMX7MH.)
I wouldn't use it for that. Not with the curado K around. The revo sx is nice I have that or the stx can't remember. But i like the curado K over it. That abu just feels clunky and wide. It's a good reel but not on the curado level.
@@TackleAdvisors Ok. one other thing - what is your take on the Casitas if you've used it? (sorry I'm used to spinning reels just changing over to casters.)
The tat 100 is a pretty good reel that will grow on ya.....the Fuego CT may even be better and I think you can score it for about 100$ less. It's a tad larger and lacks the twing...but it's a great learning reel and one that i've recomended for a lonnnng time for those starting out. It's fairly cheap....has a brake that can help a newbie and grow with you and is a great reel for a veteran caster. You could also go with an slx dc which will work well off the bat......but you may be in trouble if you go anwhere else but DC in terms of braking....
i have a battle 2 and when i turn it slowly it squeaks or whistles. How do i fix this? Is it just needing to be greased or is it a problem with the parts
I'd love it if you could respond; I'm having a hell of a time dialing this reel in. I can dial a reel in a minute or a cast or two. But, this zero adjuster thing is different... I can't go less than 10 on the break settings and get decent distance, but I'm not able to have a LOT of thumbing in place. Any pointers?
Hmmm is the rotor on the spool stuck on the in position. With relatively light braid.. 15lb... Throwing jigs spinner baits and chatterbaits... I was loving life yesterday with a brake setting of 6. But i always thumb at splash down.... If I don't it'll over run. At what stage of the cast are you back lashing
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks for the reply! I'm not backlashing (now that I know to have a heavy thumb)....but I have to use my thumb far more than with any other reel (mainly Shimano)...if that makes sense.? Love the reel but it seems unrefined. If I didn't know what I was doing I'd have major issues. Pitching is far worse! I reached out because I saw you could go to 7 and very little thumb control. Im lost at how daiwa claims set it and forget it....
What spinning rig would throw about the same distance? ( If any. ) ... Ever try Berkley NanoFil? It comes in White, and they claim it's their longest distance line.
Nanofil and Gliss are the two furthest casting lines on the market hands down. However in my experience they aren't very durable and knotting is an issue. I really am only confident fishing them with a leader tied using a FG or PR knot. But they fished amazingly well. They fly off the spool so effortlessly some lures that generally wouldn't tumble.....will. You truly have to adjust to how far they cast compared to other lines. I stopped using nanofil due to break offs. but still use gliss on occasion. 18lb for albies, 11 for rivers, 40 for stripers on occasion. (havent fished hitena which supposedly have some similar casting capabilities) I remember when gliss it was first announced. A publication touted it as the first fishing line made with Hemp.........And tons of other ran with that story........The idiots mis read HMPE...and others copied it...FAKE NEWS!!!!
For rods and reels......Spinning.....For max distance FW I use a stella 4k with a tall spool. 18lb gliss on a 9' tailwalk hi-tide tz. I also drop down to a 3k stella using 5lb fins 40g using the same rod
Have a hunch a Tatula CT 5.5:1 is arriving Christmas morning, just got done deciding/shopping for braid. I was going with J braid 40lb.. Now you have me second guessing... I thought one should match the equivalent mono size recommended? I thought I was already going light at 40, which is rated at 10lb. Mono equivalent (which everyone states is actually thicker)? Would there be a drawback to going with 30lb. J braid? Freshwater Brown and Green Bass primarily.
Tackle Advisors Smallies and Largies, Trilene sensation 10lb leader 8’ double uni. Keitec w/bladed swim jig, senko’s, lighter jigs w/craw trailers, kalins 5” grubs 1/8 jig. I generally fish lighter weights towards the smallmouth side, as opposed to the largemouth side.
@@teamflanneloutdoors5631 Ok...yeah 40lb would be way too heavy...I saw that as it's going to weigh alot and be tough to keep off the water and be very bouyant. Drop down to 20lb and do you know how to tie an ALberto knot? Here's how to tie the improved version...it's stronger than the uni and just as simple. I drop down to 10 or lower on some reels for that and I'll tie a pr knot and turn 10lb braid and even tying a polomar in 12lb leader still break at the end of the leader. As those knots are close to the 100% actual break strength of most braids. I fish by break strenght and always try to fish lines that are as thin as possible. I use 30lb J braid for stripers and bluefish....... :) 50 with a pr knot breaks at 70 and I jig tuna with it :) Are you a fan of super limp braids? As when j braid breaks in...it gets very very limp.
I'll drop to 20 lbs. I will learn the Alberto knot. No, not a fan of limp line. Thought PP super slick 8 was the deal, but, after that coating wears off, I start having annoying little issues. I'm fairly new to braid- tried regular PP on a round Abu5500 and that was like wire to me, and very rough through the guides- didn't care for that. How about Maxima8? Fireline8? Thanks for input, I truly value it.
Uh haven’t posted in a month have you reviewed EVERY REEL!? Also is the finactic braid hard to get backlashes out? And in your opinion do you think it’s better then maxcuratro I think is how u spell it lol
Lol.. Not quite.. Took some time off and to compete some projects and start some new.. Wanted to see if not posting for a bit is sustainable as well. Still recieved 750k views so it appears to be.
Tackle Advisors O ok Understandable! Everyone needs a break to do stuff. I never really wanted to buy a daiwa bc of the line capacity And maby I might haft to pick one up now since they make one in 100 size. I always like the 150-200 size spools I salt water fish in Florida a lot and me having an arsenal of 80 size bait casters no good. Also your one of the very few UA-cam’s who reads all their comments and reply back! Thank you!
Since it's been 2 years, so what do you think of the Tatula 100? I have only use a Fuego CT and how would it compare to it? I am interested in this one because of the smaller profile.
I really like it... Has performed wonderfully.... Heard the elites feel even better. This reels feels pretty good but feels a little hollow at the same time... Not a bad thing.. But if you have some higher end gear it's noticeable
@@walden6272 That's not a reel I would use expecting to see that class of fish regularly. My friend who developed the tranx 300....did so abusing on British columbia steelhead throwing spoons and worms.......I'd start with a tranx 200 or curado k and possibly go 300 (lexa 300 would be a good choice as well)
@@TackleAdvisors The Curado K seems to have the same line capacity and drag strength (11 lbs) as the Tatula 100, so wouldn't curado k also struggle against king salmons?
Hey I know you probably get a million of these but if you get a chance to use ZPI F-Zero Bearing Oil please try it. TackleWarehouse has it, Id never heard of it, so I bought it. Little pen applicator sized thing cost 20 mfing dollars. After realizing it’s earths gift to ball bearings in baitcasters, I bought two more. My old Quantum PT Energy from like 2010 is now as smooth as my brand new Tranx. Through the inter web I found its some Japanese company that makes other oils as well but the “Power Fishing bearing oil” is the only one I have at present. I believe it’s too thin to use elsewhere, but my lord does it work wonders on bearings. Give it a try.
What’s it called? I’ve turned into a bit of a bearing nut after putting ceramic abec 7’s in my Avets. Boca high speed oil seemed very good too but this ZPI stuff could make a square spin.
@@jeffsmith8958 lol cool. Just be wary of corrosion protection and longevity. For fw and field casting I'll go super fast lightweight oil. For the salt I tend to be rough on gear so I lean towards a balance of protection and performance which is why I've settled on tsi lubes
@@jeffsmith8958 I hot rodded my older Gen avets which. I remember it being strange that they didn't have kits for single speed sx reels (this was like 10 years ago or so) I knobby magged on and static magged another. I sold my last one off after I couldn't stop a bass even when thumbing and go broken off in structure
Absolutely I only used it in freshwater baitcasters and just in the bearings I doubt it has the best corrosion resistance. On my Avets I use ReelX as with all my salt gear I’m not concerned with speed after putting the new bearings in. ReelX seems to prevent corrosion quite well. I also use cals tan grease on gears which I’m learning is odd but I like it and the 1lb tub I have should last forever! MXL raptor in my book is most reliable reel I own!
Tackle Advisors Thanks for your quick response. I see a tatula ct 100hl for $95. Is that the smaller version? I doubt there will be much better deals if I wait till black Friday.
Hi im new to baitcasting. At 7:55 theine suddenly stopped, and a bit of birdsnest happens. Anyone can explain, Why does this happen? Is it because we use too light of a line? Or over spooled and have too much ljne on the spool? I sometimes get this. Thanx
My thumb has a PhD. But that ain't happening. I've read on forums that guys fish their current model Daiwa and shimano reels with no brakes. And not just for pitching. But for long range. I don't buy it. Unless they thumb the the crap out of the almost the entire cast. Or just over lube their bearings and lock add tons of spool tension.. Lol
@@TackleAdvisors ok sweet! Also one more question I'm kinda new to daiwa reels and I saw a grey Fuego and was wondering if it was jdm or a old version?
@@TackleAdvisors www.amazon.com/Daiwa-Fuego-BaitCasting-Right-Handed/dp/B015HKASQ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1548388034&sr=8-20&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=daiwa+fuego&dpPl=1&dpID=41ZtuARWcrL&ref=plSrch Here ya go!
Lolol... Dude don't sleep on power pro... It's not the best selling braid from guys buying one spool and moving on to something else lolol... I bought and fished a spool this season and it's been 60 braids and 10 years since I've spooled up og pp. It's not bad lol
Tackle Advisors I think the way I typed that was confusing. I meant that I should basically just stick with power pro rather then switching to the “High end” braid in this video.
I’ve been quite torn between this reel and the tatula ct. I like the size and weight of the tatula 100 and but i don’t know, it felt much less substantial and less durable than the ct. I don’t know, it could just be me imagining things lol. That being said, the 100 was smooth and seems to cast really well once you dial it in Edit: I ended up going with the 100. Snagged it for $129 at local tackle shop and I liked it so much that I bought a second one lol
I don't wish to have one. I'm don't like worrying about camera batteries and on the water filming. And I don't need and want people seeing where I fish
Save your money and don’t buy it. (Speaking for the 300 tatula) Bought it because daiwa advertises that it casts further because of t wing system. I can 100 percent guarantee that it doesn’t. Compared it side by side with my lexa and abu Garcia (of the same size) and same line and same 9 foot rod. No difference in casting distance. None. Zero. All breaks off and spool tension loose. So either mine is defective because it doesn’t cast further or it’s false advertising. Either way I’m screwed because the distributor won’t take returns on opened merchandise.
So you were comparing it to the curado in the video, which would you choose? Curado K or Tat 100? I’m just assuming you meant the K
Not sure yet. Not enough time on the Tatula. It's a nicer size. But I don't know how it handles heavier applications which the Tatula is great at.
Tackle Advisors okay thanks. You also said in the video that it was very smooth when using moving baits, would you use it for jigs or soft plastics though?
I realized I mis spoke in that last reply. I meant to say "heavier applications which the curado K is great at".
It's smooth... But the curado is more refined. The tat does feel and sound a tad on the plasticy side. I also work jigs and some plastics one handed by flicking the drag star and I'd have liked to see a metal drag star.
Prior to fishing this bait I was fishing a unique wacky rig bottom bouncing that and just like others tatula reels. It's great
I love watching you pick out bird's nest it makes me feel adequate. Great channel, I'm always mesmerized by your knowledge and ability to explain as you tear down a reel.
The Tatulas always caught my eye and attention but i haven't purchased one YET! I might change that soon enough thanks again and keep up the great work!
This is when I am glad I am sitting inside and just watching you.
Great reel.... Have one... And I use it with zero brake, from my experience using this tatula.. It is hard to have a backlash... No regret buy it
Awesome video for someone still learning with my baitcaster. Would love to see one with the Lexa!
I took your advice and got a Ballistic LT 3000 with a Backbay 7’6” MXS. Holy is this combo lite and sensitivity?! Insane. Awesome backbone. Again thank you.
Awesome!! that's a sweet setup! Hope you tear it up with it!!! You're welcome!
Might get that sweet little reel. I enjoy these kinds of videos too!
Great video…..getting mine on 4/29……..stoked.
@tackleadvisors thanks for producing this. Great info. I’d like to see if tightening the spool tension on the 4 setting would help manage the blowups without sacrificing distance.
My tatula ct brake is set at 5. I can throw home made spinners made with 1/4 oz bullet weights, without thumbing the spool. Got it pared to a piscifun torrent 2 piece 7 foot worm rod. The red spool and tension knob look great with the red accents on that rod.
Man you just help me so much, I have the curado 70i with 10lb braid and I never thought about theLeader being a factor. Im new to bait casters but I’m surprised at how light a lure the little curado and cast 4.5 gram lures are the lightest I can throw :)

Hey Scott...this was just a quickie. Figured with the impending rains I wouldn't be able to put any on the water time on it for a few days.
I totally understand but ever since you told me about this reel I curious what you thought about it.
Dumb question. I just bought my first two big casters after spinning reels all my life. Still getting used to him but I went with this real because everyone said it was a great value for the money and something I definitely would grow into. Also bought a Lews Speed 2 SPL. But it seems even experienced fishermen still have to pay way more attention when using a bait caster so I’m wondering what the real advantage is?
Nice braid
I look for this in a SV , come July.
When are we getting a full teardown and review? I've already ordered 3 of these things and I can't wait to hear what you think about it.
punchfishing how are they right now?
Great video! I am looking to get my first baitcaster and am looking at the Daiwa Tatula SV TWS or the Shimano SLX DC. Which one would you recommend between the 2 or would you suggest something different. Thanks again
First of all, have to tell you I love all of your videos and in a couple of days I prolly watched 90% of your videos. Great explanations and good examples.
Sorry for popping up just like this, but gotta ask you a question.
I am quite an experienced in fishing but been using spin reels and rods, so gonna go for a first baitcasting combo.
The place where I live and usually go for fishing has a a lot of pikes, down from 3lbs to Max and very rare 12lbs, and very low catch rate on bass. The baitcasting reel that I'm interesting is kastking Spartacus plus, and planing to combo it with kastking Blackhawk II. Is that a good combo considering what I'm planing of fish? The main bait I use and is very efficient here is 0.88 ounces and 5.5 inches long, but sometimes I use a bit heavier spoon type of bait. If the combo is good, which lenght and power black hawk ii rod should I go for? Thanks a lot buddy. Keep up the good work
Ilovemy steez rods, i notice you use casting and spinning steez rods. I just ordered a few daiwa black label's. Illlet you know how they compare
Hello, in the video you mentioned you adjusted the zero adjuster and I was wondering if you tightened it or loosened it from the factory settings?
I have two Tatula 100's and they are definitely good reels. I agree it feels plasticky.
Wish you would have did this test with fluorocarbon line.
I have a Daiwa Prorex 200HLA paired with a Daiwa Prorex XR 40-80 g 7,6’ rod. I use that setup for pike (super light setup btw). Now, I would like to see how the prorex would preform throwing lighter lures compared with a tatula in the 200 size. So, is there any chance you could get your hands on the Daiwa Prorex 200? I recently subscribed to this amazing channel by the way!
I’m looking to purchase one of these reels. I’ve used daiwa before but never with the “zero adjuster” setting. Daiwa states the only thing you touch on this reel is the magforce z dial and to leave the spool tension alone. What is your opinion on this
"Walk like an idiot!" Good info on the reel. I only have 1 diawa reel and it's an older zillion. Sweet little thing, but it was before the introduction of the "t" wing system. Still casts like a dream though. Merry Christmas to ya bud.
I was makin fists with my toes....or tryin too lolol....I sold off my zillions along with my TDZ's........I was given a prototype pre manufacture zillion t wing and capitolized on the rarity $$$ :) was a fun reel too. Thanks Man!! Merry Christmas to you too!
I imagine you are aware of the muskies in the RR and the canal.
I want to get back up there before I pass away.
I’m still in disbelief that we’ve not crossed paths in the past.
I'd love to have one of these reels
I'll be giving it away...just make sure to drop a comment when you see my 13 concept z vid drop. I'm selecting the winner out of that pool of comments. Giving away a curado dc too
I sure will... I've been wanting a curado DC...
Hey sorry for bringing you back to an old video. I’m looking for a new bait caster and I’m stuck on this or the tatula 200 hs. Which would you recommend? Or would you recommend another bait caster in this price range?
I just got the 200HD LTD version for a swimbait rod and i love it! works very well from 20-100g.
If i had to choose between the new tatula 100, the type R and the CT type R, whih one would you choose for a ML Rod?
CT
What size reels are good for New Jersey / Northeast surf. I'll mostly be fishing jetties and in and around nj beaches for stripers and sharks. I was thinking a gosa 8000 or slammer 3 6500 or a bg 5000. I'm not sure if it's too big for stripers or too small for sharks. I do need a bigger reel since I can only afford one combo and I go down to the cape cod canal every now and then
I backlash a little bit and I think it is because of the zero adjuster but I dont want to touch it. The reason i think it that is that if i change lures no matter what it backlashes I usually thow it on 6 or 7 what do I do.
Another great addition to your video lineup. I have a love-hate relationship with my Tatula type R. Like yours it casts a mile and is very smooth. BUT it breaks lines . I tried changing rods and use different types of line (flouro and mono) and after a dozen or so incidents I took it to the tackle shop. The resident expert (and accomplished tournament fisherman) told me he has heard the same thing from a few other people. After maybe 30 to 40 long casts the line breaks right at the reel spool. Maybe something defective in the T-wing? Anyway it is now a braid-only close quarters combat reel. Too bad.
Pat Walker that happens after untangling backlashes
The only time you can break off on the cast is if there is a nick in the levelwind and it cuts the line or there is an abrupt stop.....And generally abrupt stops aren't enough to break the line bass fishing with light gear.....so it's that mid flight jamb up that causes massive friction and causes breaking. There are tons of things that can cause that...
I do suspect the T-wing is my problem. No abrupt stops other than my thumb as the lure hits the water. Since this is the only reel that has ever done this in over 40 years of fishing I'd have to suspect some kind of defect. Thanks for the response. @@TackleAdvisors
what budget reel would you recommend for beginner who would like to venture into baitcaster?
How much spool tension do you have set? (Love your videos)
Are yo u likely t o review and tear apart any of the Quantum reels? Would be interesting t oo hear your thoughts compared to shimano and daiwa.
Did you end up liking this braid? Been looking at it for some heavier applications
We got bald eagles here in Clearwater Florida. Sum big ass birds!
Cool! They rebounded so much I swear they pushed out the hawks. I've seen multiples along that river at a time. They drained the second largest lake in the state for 2 months. It's gin clear. The rivers cleared up something crazy and it was eagles and ospreys all over
Getting a Twin Power XD 5000, wondering if you had the interest in making a video on one? Wouldn’t mind sending it up for a week or 2.
How about the stripers and wipers in that aera?
I prefer Daiwa reels that have the Free Floating Spool which this reel doesn't have. Guess I'll stick with my T3 SV and T3 1016H-TW. Both reels working great and I like the fact that there was a drag clicker mod for it.
I like free floating spools myself. But man......I really want proof that it makes a difference......my aldebaran bfs isn't a live spool. My DC mets, conquest and others aren't.....My Mgx's steez sv tws's are.... I really don't know where it makes the difference......light lures or max distance. And how much of a difference is it. Its unsprung weight.....but it's not on the outside perimeter and does that make it different. Know what i mean?? :)
Wan we get a video on the Twin Power
Can you please clear up where the spool tension is supposed to be set? some say leave it sloppy and some say adjust it like any other bait caster with the weight of the lure with a slow fall. I have it set now with just a little clunk side to side. Not sure if I'm right or wrong.
Hey Bob, It's personal preference......Me personally. I want absolutely zero friction added by the tensioner....as I feel that's what the brake is for. So i set it to allow a tiny bit of side to side play...but not so sloppy as to allow it to move away from the magnetic field of the brakes. If I need friction I'll use a heavier or more oil in the bearings.....and I don't unless I'm on the field looking for hydraulic braking and need to tame a reel when pushing lead out beyond 600 feet.
The tensioner and it's function is really no different than any other tensioner on the market.
You should do a lews review. I had a lews tournament prog($200) that came in and my god its casting smoothness is rediculas. The smoothness in general is incredible and its only 6.3 ounces. I caught a redfish on it and it held easily. Only problem is the drag... Its hard to explain what happened. The drag like stopped having tension. I fixed it just by pulling out line using the drag for a good 10 feet of line and it works well again. Im very impressed with it. Bought it at tacklewarehouse for 120 and it didnt have tax. This reel feels like the 250 range though, so thats an absolute steal. Felt the classic speed spool and wasnt impressed though.
Thanks for the suggestion. I plan on bringing some in for 2019.. If the concept Z, z3 and tranx 200 weren't "things" I'd have done lews
@@TackleAdvisors they have the lews pro g for 120 at tackle warehouse like I said, incredibly smooth and light
@@bradenhopkins8017 it's some pretty good deals on them out. I even found my ProTi pretty cheap around then, still not a bad weight considering all the metal.
I just bought a Tatula CT Type R 100h on clearance for $90. Almost bought the new model but I didn't care for ergonomics & its an extra $50. Hopefully I won't regret my choice.
For 100 bucks.....can't go wrong with that.
You won't
I'll be all over the discounted CT frames too, they work so well.
You can't go wrong with the CT or CT Type-R. I have been reluctant to try the 100 because of its price point and that horrible spider logo matte paint job. That reel in my opinion is not worth $160. I will probably buy another CT Type-R before they are all sold out.
I vote for schtickier!
Been using a couple of these over the past spring and summer and they are now my loudest reels...bearings are loud, does not crank smooth anymore either.
Tore them down and greased just the right amount, oiled all the bearings etc and they are both still the worst reels I have :-(
FWIW for those considering in purchasing. I’m a Daiwa fan and have a Curado and this Tatula. The Tatula feels plasticky. The Curado feels more premium. Despite this difference they are both functionally great for the price. If you step up to the Tatula SV TW then it would be a night and day better.
My sentiments exactly and what I've said in a few replies so far having all the curados. Tat 100 is a great reel. As smooth as the curado. But the curado is much more refined as the Tatula definitely has that plasticy feel...
The T wing system doesn't fit my style of fishing when im fishing with baits where sensitivity is important (worms, jigs) because I have big hands and palm the entire reel and keep my index finger under the line in front of the T wing so I get maximum feel thru the line. Doing that lifts the line into the top of the T wing and the line builds up on one side of the spool rendering the levelwind useless. I use my Tatulas for other baits where feel isn't that critical.
Thays probably the only drawback I can think of. I do the same or similar but have smaller hands so I dont have that issue..
What braid did you say it was?
I noticed the Tatula 100 doesn’t have the Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings like the CT Type Rs and SVs. Do you notice a downgrade in smoothness from those models or is it not noticeable?
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the crappy drag star. Aluminum would be nice. It's smooth like the others. But feels a little plasticy compared to the curado K
Does it actually hold the specified line on jandh the ratios for the sv tw says around 200 yards of 20 which is not true
I spooled up with 15lb finatic and it took the whole spool and that's what you see
What are your thoughts on that 10.1:1 Abu reel?
I fished one twice now.......for me personally I don't have a use for one but for power frogging or pitching......I could see it being useful. But for me it would be limited to exactly that.
Tatula 100 vs 13 fishing concept a gen 2?
What’s your favorite white braid? I like to line watch a lot too, but I never thought of using white braid. Not sure why, it makes sense lol
I like the green fins 40g but buy at your own risk... It's white with a colored core. Fireline Ultra 8 is great but mid cast over runs like you saw in this vid can cause a break off where most braids survive. Sufix Jbraid not the biggest ultra cast fan
Tackle Advisors okay I’ll keep this in mind, thanks
Did you see the new Antares with the new MGL spool? Wonder if i could throw it into my MD XG lol.
I did. Looks "interesting" same as the new DC. Not sure if I'm impressed. Shocked shimano let another year go by without addressing the 150 to 250 spinner $$
@@TackleAdvisors yea I figured they would at least focus on that category since everyone else seemed to, Penn with the VI, etc.
Speaking of leaders, what's your experience with the FG knot and the TWS reels? The other day tactical bassin said that they are not fans of TWS cause the connection knot gets stuck too often, but they use a blood knot all the time. What do you think?
I never had an issue. Never once.
This was a spur of the moment vid since the fishing was slow and figured.....why not.
Kinda glad because it's been some decent deals on some Tatulas. Is the SV TWS near its higher prices cousins performance wise?
Should I go with the Tatula or the similar price Revo for my next reel? I plan to go with one of those after Christmas.
@@gregred78 really it depends. Most of them are gonna perform close enough to not be an issue. With the Diawa you can have the Twing, which I've heard some say it helps tons and others not care for it, but it's some really good deals right now. I know academy has a Revo Alx I believe marked from $180 down to $130, and it's light if your on the water long periods.
@@gregred78 I never used the current alx. But loved the revo mgxtrmeme 2 aside from the wimpy 7lb max drag. If it's the same platform minus the "luxury" things such as the carbon handle, mg frame, hybrid bearings. I'd still probably go with that.
Dig up some drag info as the mgxtreme states it's 12 lbs or something like that but it's not. Full spool or empty its around 7. 5.5oz if that weight is accurate is game changing weight.....My metaniums are heavy compared to my steez..and for some reason it's noticeable.....and I like tiny reels...the tatula is small. But that mgx platform is miniscule. Really cool. And some shops are selling it cheaper than the tat.
Bass Nazi the Tatula SV TW is a big step up
Any thoughts on the new Shimano reels?
The new DC looks interesting. Curious if it will out perform my Calcutta DC or if it's just a fresh coat of paint. I want to see the new stradic and what they're going to do with it lots of potential there.
Hi tackleadvisory, just wondering if you know any info about the new certate 2019 will be sold in thr US?
It's definitely coming to the USA at least a person at Daiwa told me that a few months ago
@@TackleAdvisors awesome! Thanks 😀
WOW YOU ACTUALLY FISH TOO? nvm i meant to say that to THE REEL TEST
Hah
I don't like that guy.
Nah that was just special effects :)
@@TackleAdvisors Then your effects weren't very accurate. Next time you use any of the Tatulas, you must remind your viewers throughout the video how superior the Curado K and Curado 70 are compared to the Tatula.
LOL.....in all fairness...the curado is a more refined reel than this thing.....this is curado smooth but the curado doesn't feel as plasticy in feel....It doesn't have that shimano butteryness that the higher end daiwas have
Based on your time spent with the tatula 100 how do you feel it would be for an application such as tossing larger 3/4oz mepps, daredevils and rapalas for winter/spring pike? or would something else like the Abu Revo X be a better option? (rod I'd have it on is a Fenwick HMX7MH.)
I wouldn't use it for that. Not with the curado K around. The revo sx is nice I have that or the stx can't remember. But i like the curado K over it. That abu just feels clunky and wide. It's a good reel but not on the curado level.
@@TackleAdvisors Ok. one other thing - what is your take on the Casitas if you've used it? (sorry I'm used to spinning reels just changing over to casters.)
Can't really comment on it in terms of anything heavy. Only threw quarter oz jigs and spinner baits.
Very good. Dream c Buy one of these also watch our .
Was that a fish that blew up on it at 3:23 lol
That was a hell of a buzzing noise at 7:57 🤣
zzzzzzzzzz kaboom lolol
So, as a newbie to baitcasters, would you recommend this Tatula to learn on or would there be a better choice?
The tat 100 is a pretty good reel that will grow on ya.....the Fuego CT may even be better and I think you can score it for about 100$ less. It's a tad larger and lacks the twing...but it's a great learning reel and one that i've recomended for a lonnnng time for those starting out. It's fairly cheap....has a brake that can help a newbie and grow with you and is a great reel for a veteran caster. You could also go with an slx dc which will work well off the bat......but you may be in trouble if you go anwhere else but DC in terms of braking....
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks!
Where are you at ???
i have a battle 2 and when i turn it slowly it squeaks or whistles. How do i fix this? Is it just needing to be greased or is it a problem with the parts
Start with oiling the handle knob. That's what usually squeeks. But yeah.. A general lube job never hurt
I'd love it if you could respond; I'm having a hell of a time dialing this reel in. I can dial a reel in a minute or a cast or two. But, this zero adjuster thing is different... I can't go less than 10 on the break settings and get decent distance, but I'm not able to have a LOT of thumbing in place. Any pointers?
Hmmm is the rotor on the spool stuck on the in position. With relatively light braid.. 15lb... Throwing jigs spinner baits and chatterbaits... I was loving life yesterday with a brake setting of 6. But i always thumb at splash down.... If I don't it'll over run. At what stage of the cast are you back lashing
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks for the reply! I'm not backlashing (now that I know to have a heavy thumb)....but I have to use my thumb far more than with any other reel (mainly Shimano)...if that makes sense.? Love the reel but it seems unrefined. If I didn't know what I was doing I'd have major issues. Pitching is far worse! I reached out because I saw you could go to 7 and very little thumb control. Im lost at how daiwa claims set it and forget it....
Yep, I am at 5 or 6 too. So, is it worth trying the 100 then? I just don't think that reel is worth $160.
Whats' up brotha!!! they want that $$$ for that Twang lol
What spinning rig would throw about the same distance? ( If any. ) ... Ever try Berkley NanoFil? It comes in White, and they claim it's their longest distance line.
Nanofil and Gliss are the two furthest casting lines on the market hands down. However in my experience they aren't very durable and knotting is an issue. I really am only confident fishing them with a leader tied using a FG or PR knot. But they fished amazingly well. They fly off the spool so effortlessly some lures that generally wouldn't tumble.....will. You truly have to adjust to how far they cast compared to other lines. I stopped using nanofil due to break offs. but still use gliss on occasion. 18lb for albies, 11 for rivers, 40 for stripers on occasion. (havent fished hitena which supposedly have some similar casting capabilities) I remember when gliss it was first announced. A publication touted it as the first fishing line made with Hemp.........And tons of other ran with that story........The idiots mis read HMPE...and others copied it...FAKE NEWS!!!!
For rods and reels......Spinning.....For max distance FW I use a stella 4k with a tall spool. 18lb gliss on a 9' tailwalk hi-tide tz. I also drop down to a 3k stella using 5lb fins 40g using the same rod
For all around everything the spinning rod that sees the most time is the Unicorn steez ags 7'6 with either a stella 3k or ballistic lt 2500
I have this one and the new 150. think i like the 150 a bit more.
do a review of the pursuit 3 please
When you said you did adjust the zero adjust did you go tighter or looser from the factory setting?
I went a hair looser
Have a hunch a Tatula CT 5.5:1 is arriving Christmas morning, just got done deciding/shopping for braid. I was going with J braid 40lb..
Now you have me second guessing... I thought one should match the equivalent mono size recommended? I thought I was already going light at 40, which is rated at 10lb. Mono equivalent (which everyone states is actually thicker)? Would there be a drawback to going with 30lb. J braid? Freshwater Brown and Green Bass primarily.
what are you targeting with it and what are you plannig on using as far as baits? do you tie in a leader? and what kind of knot?
Tackle Advisors Smallies and Largies, Trilene sensation 10lb leader 8’ double uni. Keitec w/bladed swim jig, senko’s, lighter jigs w/craw trailers, kalins 5” grubs 1/8 jig. I generally fish lighter weights towards the smallmouth side, as opposed to the largemouth side.
@@teamflanneloutdoors5631 Ok...yeah 40lb would be way too heavy...I saw that as it's going to weigh alot and be tough to keep off the water and be very bouyant. Drop down to 20lb and do you know how to tie an ALberto knot? Here's how to tie the improved version...it's stronger than the uni and just as simple. I drop down to 10 or lower on some reels for that and I'll tie a pr knot and turn 10lb braid and even tying a polomar in 12lb leader still break at the end of the leader. As those knots are close to the 100% actual break strength of most braids. I fish by break strenght and always try to fish lines that are as thin as possible. I use 30lb J braid for stripers and bluefish....... :) 50 with a pr knot breaks at 70 and I jig tuna with it :) Are you a fan of super limp braids? As when j braid breaks in...it gets very very limp.
I'll drop to 20 lbs. I will learn the Alberto knot. No, not a fan of limp line. Thought PP super slick 8 was the deal, but, after that coating wears off, I start having annoying little issues. I'm fairly new to braid- tried regular PP on a round Abu5500 and that was like wire to me, and very rough through the guides- didn't care for that. How about Maxima8? Fireline8? Thanks for input, I truly value it.
How do you tie a leader and manage it with the twing
Pr fg Alberto knot. I've never experienced an issue
Thanks
Uh haven’t posted in a month have you reviewed EVERY REEL!?
Also is the finactic braid hard to get backlashes out?
And in your opinion do you think it’s better then maxcuratro
I think is how u spell it lol
Lol.. Not quite.. Took some time off and to compete some projects and start some new.. Wanted to see if not posting for a bit is sustainable as well. Still recieved 750k views so it appears to be.
Tackle Advisors O ok
Understandable!
Everyone needs a break to do stuff.
I never really wanted to buy a daiwa bc of the line capacity
And maby I might haft to pick one up now since they make one in 100 size.
I always like the 150-200 size spools
I salt water fish in Florida a lot and me having an arsenal of 80 size bait casters no good.
Also your one of the very few UA-cam’s who reads all their comments and reply back!
Thank you!
Tackle Advisors also will you do any Spring fishing videos or summer fishing videos this year?
Maby something different for 2019?!
retrieving bait casting reel seem like a pain though...
Since it's been 2 years, so what do you think of the Tatula 100? I have only use a Fuego CT and how would it compare to it? I am interested in this one because of the smaller profile.
I really like it... Has performed wonderfully.... Heard the elites feel even better. This reels feels pretty good but feels a little hollow at the same time... Not a bad thing.. But if you have some higher end gear it's noticeable
@@TackleAdvisors Do you think this reel can handle 20lb king salmon?
@@walden6272 That's not a reel I would use expecting to see that class of fish regularly. My friend who developed the tranx 300....did so abusing on British columbia steelhead throwing spoons and worms.......I'd start with a tranx 200 or curado k and possibly go 300 (lexa 300 would be a good choice as well)
@@TackleAdvisors The Curado K seems to have the same line capacity and drag strength (11 lbs) as the Tatula 100, so wouldn't curado k also struggle against king salmons?

Hello 👋 I’m currently in my last class of the day.
Hey I know you probably get a million of these but if you get a chance to use ZPI F-Zero Bearing Oil please try it. TackleWarehouse has it, Id never heard of it, so I bought it. Little pen applicator sized thing cost 20 mfing dollars. After realizing it’s earths gift to ball bearings in baitcasters, I bought two more. My old Quantum PT Energy from like 2010 is now as smooth as my brand new Tranx. Through the inter web I found its some Japanese company that makes other oils as well but the “Power Fishing bearing oil” is the only one I have at present. I believe it’s too thin to use elsewhere, but my lord does it work wonders on bearings. Give it a try.
I'll look into it. Right now I'm using a material which is sae
What’s it called? I’ve turned into a bit of a bearing nut after putting ceramic abec 7’s in my Avets. Boca high speed oil seemed very good too but this ZPI stuff could make a square spin.
@@jeffsmith8958 lol cool. Just be wary of corrosion protection and longevity. For fw and field casting I'll go super fast lightweight oil. For the salt I tend to be rough on gear so I lean towards a balance of protection and performance which is why I've settled on tsi lubes
@@jeffsmith8958 I hot rodded my older Gen avets which. I remember it being strange that they didn't have kits for single speed sx reels (this was like 10 years ago or so) I knobby magged on and static magged another. I sold my last one off after I couldn't stop a bass even when thumbing and go broken off in structure
Absolutely I only used it in freshwater baitcasters and just in the bearings I doubt it has the best corrosion resistance. On my Avets I use ReelX as with all my salt gear I’m not concerned with speed after putting the new bearings in. ReelX seems to prevent corrosion quite well. I also use cals tan grease on gears which I’m learning is odd but I like it and the 1lb tub I have should last forever! MXL raptor in my book is most reliable reel I own!
Is that a metal hook keeper on your rod?
Nah it's plastic held in place by an o ring...

Hi im new to baitcasting. At 7:55 theine suddenly stopped, and a bit of birdsnest happens. Anyone can explain, Why does this happen? Is it because we use too light of a line? Or over spooled and have too much ljne on the spool? I sometimes get this. Thanx
Was waiting for you to set it to zero.
My thumb has a PhD. But that ain't happening. I've read on forums that guys fish their current model Daiwa and shimano reels with no brakes. And not just for pitching. But for long range. I don't buy it. Unless they thumb the the crap out of the almost the entire cast. Or just over lube their bearings and lock add tons of spool tension.. Lol
Nick, you still liking this reel?

So with that braid basically what your saying is stick with power pro lol.
Lolol... Dude don't sleep on power pro... It's not the best selling braid from guys buying one spool and moving on to something else lolol... I bought and fished a spool this season and it's been 60 braids and 10 years since I've spooled up og pp. It's not bad lol
Tackle Advisors I think the way I typed that was confusing. I meant that I should basically just stick with power pro rather then switching to the “High end” braid in this video.
I’ve been quite torn between this reel and the tatula ct. I like the size and weight of the tatula 100 and but i don’t know, it felt much less substantial and less durable than the ct. I don’t know, it could just be me imagining things lol. That being said, the 100 was smooth and seems to cast really well once you dial it in
Edit: I ended up going with the 100. Snagged it for $129 at local tackle shop and I liked it so much that I bought a second one lol
You should have a fishing channel
I don't wish to have one. I'm don't like worrying about camera batteries and on the water filming. And I don't need and want people seeing where I fish
@@TackleAdvisors you are actually right. I love you anyways. You taught me almost everything about internals of a reel. Keep up your awesome job.
@@chalkvelvet230 don't be weird
@@TackleAdvisors sorry master :(
Jesus youre chunking that shit far to be reeling it in that long lol
Do you know Clinton?

Save your money and don’t buy it. (Speaking for the 300 tatula)
Bought it because daiwa advertises that it casts further because of t wing system. I can 100 percent guarantee that it doesn’t. Compared it side by side with my lexa and abu Garcia (of the same size) and same line and same 9 foot rod.
No difference in casting distance. None. Zero. All breaks off and spool tension loose.
So either mine is defective because it doesn’t cast further or it’s false advertising. Either way I’m screwed because the distributor won’t take returns on opened merchandise.
This is when I am glad I am sitting inside and just watching you.
