Kyle46N Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 For anyone who uses their medium heavy's, either 6'10" , 7'1",or 7'2", are they a true medium heavy action? Or do they fish like a heavy? Or a medium? Thanks! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted May 17, 2015 Super User Posted May 17, 2015 I have the 7'2" MH (TAT721MHRB) and it's pretty much a spot-on MH. However, this rod is a regular action (moderate-fast) and the other two rods you mention are fast and extra-fast actions so they will all feel different. I know there are some other Tat rod owners on the board so you might get some feed back on the other rods... 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted May 17, 2015 Super User Posted May 17, 2015 Beautiful combo! I am sure it gets the highest approval rating! I have handled a few Tatula rods at the local shop and they seem true to their ratings. As noted above pay attention to their action ... fast, extra fast, regualr, etc will all fish different. Not really sure your intended use but perhaps if a local shop has some try to get over there to handle them in person. Quote
shawnmc Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I have both the 6'10 and 7'1 MH. They both fish like a true MH. Nice tip with plenty of backbone. Definitely not broomstick or H. Quote
kingmotorboat Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Spot on I have the 6,10 mh fast tip and it's on the money compared to my *** mh which is basically a heavy Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 We need to differentiate power and action. There are no industry standard. Look at lure rating and see if those weights fit with what you plan to use the rod for. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 We need to differentiate power and action. There are no industry standard. Look at lure rating and see if those weights fit with what you plan to use the rod for. Exactly and some people's ideas of a rods power differ. Also the rods tip plays a big part. I had a 7'3 *** H and it was a heavy in my eyes. The guy above feels that his mh *** is more like a heavy. My champ extreme 704 is labeled as a heavy but due to it having a softer tip I'd say it fishes more like my endurance 723 mh. Quote
jtesch Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I have the 7'2"- dead on what I think is MH. Also the 7'1"- would have to say it's a MH but on the lighter side but it has become one of my favorite rods, nice fast sensitive tip but a lot of backbone. And I have the 7'1" regular action which is a true MH with a slower action. I use it for big lipless rattle baits Quote
Silas Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Just ordered the M/L from Amazon. $112.00 shipped. I've never seen or held a Tatula but this rod should be great for an incoming Daiwa Luna 103. Should do well for wacky worms unweighted Some compare it to the TD Zillion for far less cash. We'll see! Quote
