Big-Bass Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Any opinions on these three rod lines in the 7'6" spinning models both F and XF? What does each excel at and what is the best rod of the bunch (yes I know the Elite has AGS guides) but I mean blank, actions, etc. and graphite technology compared to each other. Thank you! Quote
PatrickKnight Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Pretty sure the original and elite tat are the same blank with both being a step above the Cronos. The orignal tat at 100 bucks is still one of the best rods for the money imo. 1 Quote
Big-Bass Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 The Tatula retails for $149, the Cronos for $169, and the Tatula Elite for $179 I believe but all seem to have similar graphite configurations. The Tatula has SVF, the Cronos has Braiding-X and cross wrap HVF, and the TE has SVF with nanotechnology. I already own both a Cronos 7' M casting, a 7' Tatula Elite M/MH Ehrler AGS rod, but am interested in the spinning rods as a nice match for my Luvias 3012H for neds, hair jigs, small tubes, and drop shot. Thanks! Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted August 4, 2017 Super User Posted August 4, 2017 The tats are not a step above the cronos. All good rods though. Quote
NathanDLTH Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 The Tatula elite line uses the same blank as the Steez line of rods. Quote
Big-Bass Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 It does? I thought the Steez XT did but not the Elite series...that's good to know if it does! Quote
bradco Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I have 3 of the Cronos Rods that are 7'6". Two of the F action and 1 XF. I find myself using the xf for hair jigs, launches them a mile. I use the F for Ned rigs& drop shot. Love these rods but no hook keeper is only downfall Quote

I asked Seth Feider who fishes Daiwa why he uses the Tatula Elite over the Cronos, better blank and that's where I found out it has the Steez blank. I have 1 Tatula Elite AGS rod, Ehrler finesse and four Cronos, 7'1MH, 7'3 MH, 7'6 H, and 7'1 ML spinning. They are great rods, only issues with the Cronos is no bait keepers so I added the Fuji EZ keepers. 1 Quote
