nameiztaken Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Ok so I'm choosing between the original tatula 100hs and the Curado 200ihg, which one do I pick. I want to use braid, and I heard twing has problems with that. As well as flipping and pitching, frogging, and lipless baits. I need a general workhorse in the 7 speed range. So I figured I'd get some input. Quote
jdz197 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 New T wing has no issues with braid, I'm running 50 lb braid on both reels you're asking about. Both perform similarly so it's hard to pick either one as better. Pick a color, you can't go wrong! Quote
Tim Kelly Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Either will be fine, though the Tatula CT might be slightly better. Pretty much the same spool capacity in a slightly smaller frame. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 They fixed the TWing problem awhile ago, so you shouldn't have a problem. In my opinion just flip a coin. Quote
Jason Penn Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 get them both on rods and see which you prefer in hand. neither company puts out junk Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 Actually I'd recommend getting the close out on the CI4+ Chronarch for 199. If you can swing it, otherwise see my previous post. ? Quote
basspurifier Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I had both, curado felt great but tatula ct was more effortless to cast because of t wing. Sold the curado and kept the daiwa. Quote
JDNKC Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 No experience with Tatula, but I have several chronarchs and curados. For the price the curado is a great deal. I also love the curado 70 as well if you are looking for something smaller. I think either way you will be pleased. All mentioned are good reels. Quote
Rbm18 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I prefer the curado over the tatula. Just my opinion. Quote
npl_texas Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I have both and love both. You can't go wrong. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 Having owned both, I found the Curado to be more comfortable to palm. I also liked the way the Curado casted better. Both reels performed great and didn't have any issues. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. I suggest holding both and seeing which one you prefer. 1 Quote
Brett's_daddy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Just to be clear, are you talking about the older original Tatula 100HS or the newer Tatula CT 100HS? 1 Quote
TH-Outdoors Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 It's going to come down to preference based on the braking systems, T-Wing vs no T-Wing, how they feel in your hand, and looks. Both are great reels and you'll be happy with either. Good luck Quote
Bigchunk Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 You can find tatys for around 100 brand new.. no brainer Quote

Brett's_daddy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I would go with the newer CT models for about $10 more ($100 TYD from Tackle Trap...I just called them on that) but that's just me :). Quote
5fishlimit Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I love Daiwa reels, but the old Tatula is my least favorite reel of theirs that I have. The frame is awkward to me in how it fits while palming it. Quote
nameiztaken Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 Just ordered a Curado 200i, it'll be here on Sunday! Thanks for the input! 2 Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 There is no Tatula 100 CT. CT stands for Compact Tatula. The 100 series is the bigger framed reel. Let us know how you like it, after you get some fishing time on it. 1 Quote

nameiztaken Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Just got the Curado in, absolutely love it. Svs takes a little getting used to, but it's amazing when you do figure it out. Quote
Rbm18 Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Good choice. Just keep the brake drum oiled and you shouldn't have any problems Quote
