Brett's_daddy Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Okay, I've seen the rumors that Daiwa is coming out with a Tatula SV CT next month, does that mean that I should hold off on buying a regular Tatula CT for now as they may drop significantly in price once the new model comes out? Right now through American Legacy Fishing on eBay i can get one for about $90, think they'll go lower than that? Quote
Nor-Cal Basser Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I don't think the price of the current Tatula series will drop. The Tatula SV is simply a slightly higher end addition to the lineup. By the way, the Tatula CT is an awesome reel. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Quote
bigturtle Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Remember when the Zillion SV TW came out, they discontinued the regular Zillion TW? Same thing might happen with the Tatula line, but Im leaning towards no. If you arent in a hurry, just wait it out Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted February 16, 2017 Super User Posted February 16, 2017 The Tatula and the Tatula CTs are not going anywhere. The Tatula sv is a hot rodded version and will indeed be at a higher price point. It look like the new Fuego CT will be sold at the $99 price, it is a 6 ball bearing non T wing reel. Above that they offer the Tatula CT and the Fuego 100 for around $129. The Fuego 100 is built on the Tatula 100's frame size and has 12 ball bearings but no T wing. Above that will be the Tatula CT type R and both of the Tatula 100 series reels (ie Tatula and Tatula type R). I expect the Tatula SV model will either cost about the same as a Tatula Type R or just above it. Do not wait for the SV model. it is a specialty version just like the other Diawa reels with the SV spool. I just found a place taking pre-orders and I was correct it will be selling for $199.95. There is a way to get a brand new Diawa Tatula CT for $100 including shipping to your home. If you are interested I can tell you how offline. A bunch of members here have done it. Both my 2 CTs were purchased that way. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 16, 2017 Super User Posted February 16, 2017 You can buy a CT right now on eBay for $100 brand new. There's even one on there currently for $90. They will not drop in price when the sv is released. @Brett's_daddy Quote
