Alobue Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Anyone have one of these probly going to buy one. Looking to throw 2-6 oz baits and handle the occasional 20 pound striper or salmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCMD Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Fantastic reel. I have nothing bad to say about it. If you're not chucking huge baits, it's a great small swimbait/glidebait reel. Very smooth, good drag, casts a like a dream. I have one and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Baits I throw on that reel include the following: S waver, Shine glide, G2 cracker, mini Slammer, BBZ rat, 68 hudd, Gantarel, Gillroid. Matches up well with a Dobyns Fury 795 or a Powell Inferno 765. Both are great rods for the smaller baits and balance well with that reel. Buy with confidence. LUV-2-CATCH'EM and gcopple 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELOSUB Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I also have one and it's paired with the Dobyns Fury 795...It's a fantastic reel for smaller swimbaits, I have chucked baits up to 4 oz and it does it without any problems...I own (7) of the regular Tatula's and have for a couple years now and they have been a fan reel...I used to be a Shimano guy with my conventional gear but made a switch and am very happy with them...The HD is a fantastic reel... gcopple and basskickinrednick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayl Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 To echo the above, it's great. I just picked one up last month and am already thinking about grabbing another. gcopple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I love all my Tatulas. Fantastic reels and a ridiculous value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy2181 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Grabbed one of these myself from eBay, same price. These reviews and what I could find via Google made me feel quite confident on buying even though I haven't handled one in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmatthew87 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just picked up the same reel, paired mine up with a Daiwa DX swimbait MH rod. Now im thinking i should have went dobyns. Did i make a huge mistake? Lookin to throw a bull gill, Gantia, and Gantarel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did i make a huge mistake? Lookin to throw a bull gill, Gantia, and Gantarel. I can't speak to the DX but I have my tatula on a fury 795 and it's great up to ~4oz baits. A bit too soft of a tip for jig hook baits unless running braid in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spent the weekend throwing a hard gill and El Raton...great set up for smaller baits like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmin23 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have one coming in this weekend. Pretty pumped! I have a CT type R and can't say enough good things about it. It's a workhorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
