kroberts9 Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I was doing my normal end of year wish list and thinking of purging a rod. I was wondering if any one has tried or owns a new Diawa tatula elite ags spinning rod. I'm looking at the 7'6ml any help would be great Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Brent Ehrler let me hold his Tatula Elite drop shot rod when the Elites were in town on Lk St Clair a few weeks ago. Nice rod! 1 Quote
kroberts9 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 I'm going to be selling my phenix m1 and Lew's team speed spool and getting the tatula 2500 reel and pairing on the 7'6 ml neko rig I think just want wait to hear reviews on them Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted September 8, 2017 Super User Posted September 8, 2017 Ive heard the ags is a big advancement in guide systems. Super lightweight and sensitive. Only time on water will tell if they are worth it Quote
kstephes033 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 What are you looking to use it for? I have the 7'1" Ehrler spinning, the 7'6" ML Feider, plus a few of the non ags in spinning also. They are all great rods, the AGS is a bit more sensitive, balance is better for sure. The 7'6" I bought for using for deep water drop shotting, honestly wasnt a huge fan for that, but it has now become my Ned rig rod, as well as a great neko rod when im using that. The 7'1" is awesome for 3/8-1/2oz drop shotting, as well as shakyheads, jig worms, heavier neko, tube jigs, etc. really a well rounded versatile rod. I have mine paired with a newer version Fuego 3000 for the 7'6", and it balances very well. I will be getting a 3000 or 4000 tatula when they are released though to replace that, as i tried my Luvias 3000 on it and it balances very good as well, especially for being a lighter reel. Quote
NathanDLTH Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Cannot speak for the spinning rods, but my casting rod is the Ehler AGS and boy I can feel everything. Solid rods. Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted September 11, 2017 Super User Posted September 11, 2017 I am really curious about the 7'6" Neko rod, but don't know if I could deal with a rod that long. I would love to make a few casts with one, but don't think I could buy one blind. Quote
kroberts9 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 I want to make it my prime neko rod. Right now I'm using a 7'2 M1 MF and it's alright but really wanting something a bit more dedicated. My next thing was sending the M1 out and reguiding it and changing the reel to a new ballistic Lt when it arrives. So pretty on the fence still Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted September 12, 2017 Super User Posted September 12, 2017 I have 7'6" cronos. Takes a little getting use to but i love it Quote
