Daiwa fuego casting reel

[Sammies77]

Has anone had any experience with the new fuego casting reels? I know they aren't even close to the quality of the original fuegos but for the price (75 bucks new on the ebay) I was thinking about buying a few to replace some reels that were stolen. Is this reel basically a tatula without the t-wing system?

Yes it is. I asked the same question a few months back and confirmed it's a Tatula w/o TW.

Is it the same as the original tatula or the new smaller tatula ct? Anyone know where the 4 extra bearings are? I'm guessing in the handle?  

 

 

I've never really been interested in the tatula because of the t-wing, so I don't really know much about them except that they get good reviews for the price. These new fuegos have me interested for 75 bucks new.

First I have heard of these..............But now I have to go look. I had one of the old original red Fuego's years ago and it was great reel that I stupidly traded off for a Curado when I was on an all Shimano kick. For $75 bucks that puts right in the wheel house of the current Exceler that I am so fond of.

Well...........I just looked.................I think I found my new frog reel. If I can find a good deal on that in LH and 8.1:1 I'll be all over it.

Same size as regular sized Tatula, not the CT.

If your a lefty there is a deal on fleabay that includes four of the original fuego's used and it would be a great deal on the older better reels.  Think it was 250 for all of them!

A Fuego CT is coming in March...  $99

Now that is perfect and price should be low on the Fuego CT. And should be lighter than full frame Fuego.
