Super User Darren. Posted January 8, 2014 Super User Posted January 8, 2014 Nice review of the Tatula casting rods over at TT. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwatatularod.html 1 Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 They are looking like an excellent rod for the price. Daiwa really went balls the wall at this price point. They are not playing around. If they are like the zillions though, they will be very stiff for their rating Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I got my hands on one, really liked it a lot. I think that very well may be my next rod. As long as i stay true to myself and don't pick up a Legend Tournament Bass. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah, to heck with any New Years' resolution, I'm wantin' to get my hands on one of these!! To test, that is. I'll refrain from buying...unless my wife allows it. 1 Quote

Smallmouth Hunter Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 So much hype to the tatula rods and reels, yet so much performance. I am very impressed. Daiwa is basically saying, "Your move, Shimano" Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 ^^^^^** Which is a reason why I think shimano is debuting a new curado. Competition sure can be a good thing Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 8, 2014 Competition sure can be a good thing x2 on that. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 8, 2014 Super User Posted January 8, 2014 Tatula missing a 7' or longer Medium power Fast action bc rod in their line-up?, why? Quote
bootytrain Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 So much hype to the tatula rods and reels, yet so much performance. I am very impressed. Daiwa is basically saying, "Your move, Shimano" At my local BPS the sales person said Revos are their best sellers. And apparently Lews is really popular on this board. I think its everybody's next move lol. Quote

Smallmouth Hunter Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Tatula missing a 7' or longer Medium power Fast action bc rod in their line-up?, why? They were meant to fit specific techniques. Not sure why some were and weren't included... Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 ^^^^^** Which is a reason why I think shimano is debuting a new curado. Competition sure can be a good thing That's why I am excited for this Spring classic show. I like Shimano and Daiwa equally, and now that Daiwa has stepped up and shown why they are one of the most popular brands, it is Shimano's turn to make something innovative and outstanding. If Shimano releases a sub-par curado this spring-classic (that's the rumor anyway), who knows how many fans they will lose to Daiwa, lews, etc. I hope they know this. Quote
jtesch Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 definitely gonna be a Crucial vs. Tatula battle going on out there Quote
bass1980 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Tatula missing a 7' or longer Medium power Fast action bc rod in their line-up?, why? Exactly.....I wanted a 7' Medium fast to pair up with my T3 for river fishing but they only make a medium moderate rod. Maybe it will come later in the spring. 1 Quote

Loop_Dad Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 This review was for H rod. I wish they did on MH. Quote
Hogsticker Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 The T3 was way more innovative than the Tatula IMO. Then after Shimano introduces the new Cuardo, Daiwa will come out with something like a smaller Tatula with 3D braking, ball in Shimanos court and so on. Its a ping pong ball. Both companies do it right and make great reels. As for the Zillion Tatula comparisons, I'm not certain they utilize the same blanks. They just utilize the same construction process. The Zillion rod blanks appear to be thinner in diameter to me Quote
Cgrinder Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Sort of interested. I need a Heavy rod and the price is very reasonable. I wonder if BPS will carry these. Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Sort of interested. I need a Heavy rod and the price is very reasonable. I wonder if BPS will carry these.Mine does, that's where I handled one. Very impressive rod by the looks of it. Quote
