buzzfrog Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Would like to get one, what's your opinions, got a tatula and love lookijg for upgrade since I have cash to blow Quote
timsford Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 If you want an upgrade from the tatula I suggest getting a used original zillion, tdz, or new sv103 or alphas sv. Tackle tour did a review and teardown of the zillion tws and tatula and they are the same frame and basically the same reel except that the zillion has a little more refined retrieve feel 1 Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted August 14, 2016 Super User Posted August 14, 2016 Just stay with the Tatula, Tatula CT Tatula Type R and Tatula CT Type Rs. They work and last. Quote
buzzfrog Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Guess I'm just star struck of the 9 gear ratio for frogging. I might just get a new model Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted August 14, 2016 Super User Posted August 14, 2016 I think that Zillion TWS would be a smart choice for a frogging reel At $180 (at TW) it's a solid deal. 1 Quote
timsford Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 It is a good price if you just really need the 9:1 retrieve speed. I don't frog a ton but when I do the 8 gear tatula type r is plenty fast enough for that. I'm a daiwa guy when it comes to reels. Both casting and spinning. I'm just saying that unless I felt I just had to have the 9 gear zillion, the 8 gear tatula type r is basically the same reel Quote
buzzfrog Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 I found them new on eBay for 170.00 I have 2 frog rods, one I keep dark ones on and one I want to keep natural ones tied. I frog about 24/7 so I always have em on Dock until, January, then still usually pull one out. I just wanted to geek. Thanks for help guys. Quote
