Norrycha Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Any one here have one yet and what do you think about it? Planing on getting one Just for top water and glide bait. How does it compare to Shimano Tranx 300.. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught a 14lb striper on it and it was no problem. Smooth and sturdy. I just ordered a second. The Tranx is a great reel, but I think the Tatula is honestly better.

xxlbass Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 i held one at the local shop and ended up buying the 8.1 version. I have yet to even put line on it, but it looks cool collecting dust. Jon P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbaitrookie Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 I got the 8.1 a couple of weeks ago and used it one day so far. It's going to get a real test this coming weekend so I'll report back next week. So far I like it but need to get it dialed in. Compared to the original revo toros that I love, it's an adjustment.

I bought one on Black Friday under retail but I don’t have a rod for it so it just sits on my side table xxlbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregoSD Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I have the 7.1. It’s a good looking reel, cast great, taller reel with a deep spool. Haven't caught a fish on it yet but so far I am 100% satisfied. Daiwa always puts out great product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
253caster Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 This reel is everything you would expect it to be if you have used the smaller ones. You can really dial it in to maximize distance on your casts. Also they made the T Wing on this one bigger to accommodate bigger lines and to pass knots through. I'm gonna be dropping a full review on my YT eventually, I'll post when so get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stkbass Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have the 7.1 and have fished it on several outings. It feels good and casts great. It is a bit taller in profile and the spool is narrower/deeper compared to the lexa 300. This is a good reel for glides and faster retreive baits IMO. It does have good power with the 110mm handle and can bulldoze baits through weeds. So far it's a great addition for me.

Jon P Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Japanese market is also getting a Tatula 400, this is the first I'm hearing about it! https://www.lurenewsr.com/139222/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
