You definitely take the mystery and misinformation of bait casting reels into something everyone can understand. I personally never had one, but I know some of my friends do. I just like my spinning reels for my style of fishing. But if I ever get one, I'll use your videos to help me out. Be blessed. My friend.
Thx for the kinda words! Different reels got different pros and cons. But of course, the most important thing is what folks enjoy using for their leisure time! If you wanna try baitcasting, I highly recommend this reel as it's very easy to use! I will be exploring cheaper budget reels as well they cast! They are mainly non dynamic braking tho
I'm looking forward to the Tutorial series videos. The next video, casting tutorial, should be interesting. I always like to hear others explain their technique, it gets me to think and maybe improve my own technique.
it's already done, but im having trouble with the thumbnail LOL... my methodology is focused on making the reel part of you in the fastest way as possible! after all, a sword is like an extension of a swordsman's arms right?
@@rawrfishing so I was having so much trouble with BCs after watching you for a while Ive learnd so much in only a few months. Yesterday I picked up a 2nd hand Abu Garcia pro max. And I could tune and cast it effortlessly, it seems the BC I was learning on was super difficult and not as good as even the basic Abu. Looking forward to the tatula now knowing what I know now it's gonna be fun. Thanks and I'll always keep supporting you and remember you as my first real BC tutor!! Cheers mate
@@jorre877 glad you found this video and my other ones useful! I will be cast exploring other reels in the future to see how well they do out of the box. I got an abu black max X and Daiwa cc80 reel here, both are static magnetic braking reels that are budget friendly! But I'm telling u, the Tatula 100 is gonna be do much better than the 2 reels that I have just mentioned
I got a daiwa tatula xt rod for my birthday that's currently sitting in the closet because it's been raining all week so I haven't been able to use it yet. I'm so excited to use it because I'm upgrading from a zebco hotcast. I don't like baitcasters so I've got a pflueger president spinning reel paired on it 😃
u will find that a baitcasting reel isn't hard to cast, especially if you have a daiwa tatula 100! all 3 style of reels got their pros and cons! but it's most important that you enjoy what you use for your recreational fun!
Some folks like the high tech stuff that does everything for em ;) i don't blame ya tho, the high end DC modules are insane, unlike the low end SLX versions. those are the old legacy versions!
@rawrfishing love my tatula reel. But I feel it's time to move on since I've mastered feathering it. Been a fan of your videos. Now starting BFS with the 23 conquest/Dobyns sierra ultra finesse rod. I love everything BFS. Still a noob in that world so I'm still all fluorocarbon 6lb. BFS reel and throwing 1/32-1/8 lure is a whole new world
Kick ass video. Best baitcaster explaiantion with the Jimmy Slo-Mo machine!❤. Datula 100 is onsale at Scheels for $129. Im not paid nor endorsed by them
Thx! That price seems like the sale price of the legacy version. There are many stores selling the old model for that price. The spool will be heavier, but still a solid reel
@@rawrfishing can you please share the part number that you have for a comparison between the 2023 model that you’re using versus what is normally out there on the Internet please?
Part number? Not sure what the part number is for the old one, but I can grab the schematics of the new one as I have that downstairs. but it's just the spool. in my unboxing video, I weighed both spools and found that the newer one was a few grams lighter than the old. I don't believe I have my old box for my old tatula anymore. ran out of space :T
@@mollis1808 can you be more specific about lubricant needs? I got a Deuthlon Fishing reel oil kit that encompasses the entire reel for every part. baitfinesseempire.com/product/deuthlon-reel-lubricant-starter-kit/
I Haven't been looking. There's so many bfs reels out now these days and so I feel conversions are not worth it. But do know that the old 2019 spools should fit. I ended up using a horrible quality one that fell apart.. But I glued it back together lol... That's the Chameleon diy spool...
@@rawrfishing I hear ya, I have several ultralight spinning rigs and thought I might try BFS with a conversion spool but after not finding anything I’d trust I just broke down and ordered a KK Kestrel BFS rod and reel
I would have suggested ark Gravity bfs reel over kestrel. It goes lower out of the box and the drag clicker sounds way better! Tsu dragon rods are also better.
Oh I didn't get rid of it.. It disappeared off the kayak 😭 I assume I knocked it over or a tree pulled it out of the rod holder. I used it mainly for frogging... It was so good
@rawrfishing idk if is hould thumbs up or thumbs down that haha, but not funny that sucks. I just got the Elite and I'm on the fence to return it, maybe get something sv. My goal I'd far as possible casts from the bank, can an sv compete with the Elite in distance or should I just train my thumb a bit?
lol, it's all good. I think we need to know what you are trying to throw for max distance. some reels works great for heavy lures, but stinks with lighter lures. The elite was a great reel for frogging as i used thick line and i launched it. but it wouldn't be great for a M power rod for throwing 1/4 oz stuff compared to an SV spool.
Why do Americans still use full spools of mono or fluro? In Australia, we all do braid mainline and tie to fluro, only use mono leader for soft plastic surface lures. The benefits of braid out weigh both other line types.. I really don't see the point in doing anything else
U know your fishery better than I do! I use braid all the time. I used mono here to create the over spooling so I could record it! Also purposely made birds nest for rolls... Cheaper that way!

cheers mate for the tutorial and review, im actually looking at buying a TATULA so this is super helpful!
Glad u have found it useful. Very easy reel to use and so far feels great!

Started with tatula sv tw/ tatula rod. Ended with 21 antares dc/ shimano conquest rod.😂

@rawrfishing love my tatula reel. But I feel it's time to move on since I've mastered feathering it. Been a fan of your videos.

That's a nice setup! Keep fishing and trying new techniques! Bfs opens up a lot of doors with tiny finesse lures!

@@rawrfishing yes. You said that you have the 2023 model. What is the model number on the box? SKU? TTU100 ? Thabks
OHHHH gotcha! i have gotten the TATU100XHL model. This is the left hand retrieve at 8.1:1 gear ratio model.
Good video what is the best way to control a daiwa 400?
Not familiar with that reel. That's like a Lexa? Could simply be the same way! It's a magnetic reel after all!
hi, can you recommend lubricants for this reel size 100 spool?

Is there a good aftermarket bfs spool for the 2023 Tatula 100?
I Haven't been looking. There's so many bfs reels out now these days and so I feel conversions are not worth it. But do know that the old 2019 spools should fit. I ended up using a horrible quality one that fell apart.. But I glued it back together lol... That's the Chameleon diy spool...

@@rawrfishing if I decide I like it as much as my spins and need another set up I’ll keep both of those in mind! Thank you 🙏🏼
Cheers!
Good stuff bro, can you compare it to the Tatula Elite?
thx, but i no longer own the elite. from what i heard, the braking module is different. so very similar reels with slightly different behavior.
@rawrfishing Tjabks for the response! Why'd you get rid of the Elite and keep the 100?
Oh I didn't get rid of it.. It disappeared off the kayak 😭
I assume I knocked it over or a tree pulled it out of the rod holder. I used it mainly for frogging... It was so good

@@rawrfishingso does mono backlash more then braid? Looking to get into baitcasters. Wondering best noob friendly setup, what lb line and type.
In malaysia we also use braid in bc reels. We only use fluoro for leader
So what is the distance. Thanks
Didn't measure.
