kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Just saw these on tw anyone know the difference other than price? Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 That's it I love my tatula rod but I think I.May get one cause if it's offering same performance at 50 dollars cheaper man I'll be a happy camper Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Guides dropped from Alconite to AO How big of a performance change would it make Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 16, 2015 Super User Posted August 16, 2015 Different blanks, different guides, different reel seat, it's basically a completely different rod. The regular Tatula rods are really nice for the price, I'm sure these are too and I'm sure the actions and powers are similar, but other than that, they are completely different. 1 Quote

Are you sure it's a different blank. I just read it was the same blank Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 16, 2015 Super User Posted August 16, 2015 Are you sure it's a different blank. I just read it was the same blank The XT says "HVF carbon construction" and the Tat is "SVF (super high volume fiber) graphite technology." I assume the reg Tatula is a higher modulus blank. SVF is used in some of the Steez and Zillion rods. 1 Quote

I'm really loving there newer line up with the re design aird and hopefully this tatula xt will be great at it's price range. I love my tatula rod Quote

I love my tatula rod I thought the Lexa rods were really nice and the Tatula rods are great, I'm sure the XT is a great rod too. Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 I thought the Lexa rods were really nice and the Tatula rods are great, I'm sure the XT is a great rod too. How was the sensitivity on.the lead rod cause it looks like this will be taking it's place Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 16, 2015 Super User Posted August 16, 2015 How was the sensitivity on.the lead rod cause it looks like this will be taking it's place I don't have one but a guy I fish with has a couple. They are well built and feel crisp. He really likes the 2 he has and definitely catches fish with them. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted August 16, 2015 Super User Posted August 16, 2015 Same blank, dumbed down rod. Considering daiwa uses very similar blanks for all their rods, you are paying for the tatula name not the tatula quality Quote

kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Same blank, dumbed down rod. Considering daiwa uses very similar blanks for all their rods, you are paying for the tatula name not the tatula quality So if the blank is the same blank I'm sure it will perform just about the same if I'm thinking correct Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 It's the same blank. So would I expect same performance or a very similar performance at least Quote
Penguino Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 It's the same blank. ehh... no its not. The XT has a HVF blank while the regular Tatula has a SVF blank with Zero G. Also, Alconite guides are a pretty big jump over AO guides. It will certainly be noticeable, but don't sweat it if you can't afford the Alconite guides. They just make a lot less noise than the AO guides 1 Quote

No, it's not the same blank. 1 Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 How big of a difference is it with this other blank hopefully someone knows or mAybe dvt will show up in here Quote
PitchinJigz Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I don't have one but a guy I fish with has a couple. They are well built and feel crisp. He really likes the 2 he has and definitely catches fish with them.I have a Lexa 7'2" ML/ F spinning rod and it's an awesome rod. Found it on sale for $50 and it's one of the best deals I've gotten. 1 Quote
Grantman83 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Are these just the old lexa rods renamed tatula? Quote
kingmotorboat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Are these just the old lexa rods renamed tatula? Not sure but they have same price point Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 16, 2015 Super User Posted August 16, 2015 That Daiwa DX-Bass Rod that is a TW exclusive sounds pretty similar as well. The only difference is it has full cork grips and an ECS reel seat. They are $139-$149. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted August 17, 2015 Super User Posted August 17, 2015 That doesn't even make sense.Paying for a 'tatula' but not even getting the components that set tatula apart. At the sub 150 price point all the blanks are very similar in terms of sensitivity, which is why it's important to get one with good guides, handles etc...you don't get that with the xt. Quote
