Lew's Vs. Daiwa Tatula

[Basseditor]

I have and use both. I like the TWS for heavy line such as 20 or 25 # flouro. 

 

I love the Lews Tournament LITE with 15 # or under. And low gear ratio cranking.

 

i have a bunch of the made-by-Daiwa Cabelas Arachnid. They are my work horses. My local store puts them on sale from time to time for around $100.

 

Ii don't notice much difference with braid however.

I own a few lews tournament pro and a few tatulas. Both are great reels. I've had good customer service with lews and daiwa, I think the twing is over hyped. Don't really notice that much distance. ultimately it's up to what you want in a reel.

I have fished both and prefer the Tatula reels but then again I am a Dawia person...but I also don't think the T-Wing is all it is proclaimed to be.

I think Diawa is a great company but when it comes to reels I'm not a fan.

Lews has been my favorite and I'm not looking at any other now or later.

i suppose I've reached a point where I know what I like, I'm happy with them and I'm not chasing. The bait monkey has left the boat!
