Tatulatard

I have those 2 piscifun reels. Out of those two the alloy m is better for frogs with an aluminum frame. The carbon xcs is made from carbon dust mixed with plastic and will flex under load making less powerful when winching in a fish. The allow m is $90 on amazon and at that price I would rather have a lews lfs of just for peice of mind since it is a know quantity.

It encompasses light and medium light as well. When referencing bass rods they are often significantly more powerful than you would assume for a L powered rod. Line is that 7 to 10 lb flouro that you typically wouldn't want to throw on a spinning reel. Baits range from 1/8 oz jigs to smaller version of neko rigs and weightless worms. At the time this spilled out into western bass fishing circles in 2010ish things like neko rigs were unheard of. That's usually how these things go. They start in Japan and then enthusiast circles start using them and then they spill out into the mainstream. I remember reading about guys buying some paddle tail from Japan called a "keitech" like 10 plus years ago and now they are on tacklewarehouse. We are at that point now with BFS with a number of USDM rods available on tacklewarehouse. Once it goes to normiewarehouse it's mainstream at that point. There is also a subset, that is actually older, of using casting gear on little trout wands to throw true UL baits. These stream rods are much shorter and softer for targeting trout with little micro baits you wouldn't typically throw for bass.

The culprit was the the near 90° bend in the bail wire that would catch braid and hang up. I had one of these that would do the exact same thing.

You want the ray's studio "long cast" for tatula ct/100 with no porting for extra strength. These use an sv brake but with a stiffer spring and thinner inducton rotor. They pitch extremely well and are freer casting than a normal sv spool. You can find the same spool sold under SDS customs on eBay.

No. It's a tatula sv 70. There are however plenty of spool options for those two reels.

That's the worst thing I have ever read. How dumb do they think we are? You can look at the two reels with your eyeballs and tell they are not using the same frame. Their only similarities are "black spinning reel". This is the kind of false information that is rampant with these reels and low information buyers. "Made in the same factory" even if true means nothing if the tooling and IP is all owned by diawa and just happens to be operated by the same chinease wagies that also make piscifun reels in a nearby production line. At some point when the current tatula egg beater is retired the chiease will use the old tooling to make the reel under a different brand. They do this with the old black max 3 tooling in China and you can buy the old black max with fraudulent shimano branding on it. I can't leave this alone. This is the kind of misinformation that is everywhere with these plastic china reels. This is clearly some blog post by someone who has no idea what they are talking about and it trying to cram in a script handed to them from piscifun. The purpose is to paint an image that piscifun is using the same frames of higher end reels like daiwa ans just offing a cheaper product. Incredibly misleading. Look at this goofy line. "Many reels are made on the frame or with one of the same two braking systems that are so popular with anglers today."

Outside of North America lews is basically unknown and piscfun the better known brand. These rebadged Korean reels sold at big box fishing stores as house brands was a North American maket phenomenon. Lews does the same thing minus the big box store. The guy that brought lews reels back was actually involved with this process at bass pro before he left and re-started lews. Also even in the US to a new angler a known brand is what they see and encounter the most. For newbies looking on amazon for fishing reels piscifun or kastking become known brands really quick.

Nope. Your only option for a shallow SV type spool would be the ray's long cast.

People have been casting light weights baits with baitcasters for ages but no one thought to give it a name other than "going fishing". BFS didn't enter the lexicon outside of japan until 2011 when Yukihiro Sawamura of KTF was using prototype rods on his KTF tuned Alphas to present small plastics and jigs on hard 7-10 lb flourocarbon line for bass in cover. The rods were designed with larger blank diameter on the back half of the rod to significantly stiffen the rod and make controlling a bass around cover possible. What separates these BFS rods from other rods with the same power rating used for trout is the significant increase in power for bass fishing. You can skip very easily with it as long as you have the right reel. The guy who invented BFS also invented the air brake the SV spools use. He was doing it 1st with his KTF spools before daiwa stared using the same brake with their air spools then later SV spools. He spends the entire video skipping baits into brush. I

For excellent reasons

Perfectly normal. I avoid anything over a 16 lb sniper for distance casting because of the poor manageability with faster spool settings. The heavier flouros I use are for more close in work with target casting. The exception is 20 lb big game which is the size of a 30 lb flouro with a bit better management and I use that to cast baits that weight multiple ounces with reels with stronger braking profiles to help tame the line. I find that a larger level wind and heavier braking profile like a t-wing SV reel really helps to manage heavier flouro especially without using line conditioner or spool tension. For your case with money already spent I would turn up the brakes and spool tension and give it a go. Also make sure you didn't spool it on backwards. If you did that's ok. Just wait a few weeks and the line will take the memory in was wound onto the pool.

Tatula 150. I'll have to compare spools again but last time I did on my black widow 2 and tatula 150 they were the same size indicating nearly identical capacity. I belive the arbor was slightly smaller on my black widow 2. Both are magforce z reels. If you are willing to forgo magforce z you can get a magforce tatula 200 for more capacity. https://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwablackwidow2.html https://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwatattyper.html

There are a bunch on aliexpress and ebay. The best lighter weight long casting spool is a daiwa spool from the tatula elite. The tackle trap used to sell them. I would check there.

Those ticas remind me a lot of the old pflueger presidents and other pflueger spinning reels from that time that were highly regarded. I wonder of there is a connection?
