Tatula SV

[jmcarriere]

I jusy bought a Tatula SV 7.3:1 LH while Seth Fieder was at a local tackle shop. I have looked through the forum but am wondering is there any difference in setting up the brakes from the CT. If i woyld have been smart i would have picked up the Zillion instead since reels werr 20% off.

You were at Throne Bros then? From my understanding and all I own is Daiwa (aside from one Shimano) take the side to side play out of the spool by tightening up the cast control knob then adjust braking on side for lure weight/distance. I'm sure someone else can explain it better, but that's the nuts and bolts of it.

What he said but start with mag breaks at 0 when taking out side to side play

Yes i was at thorne bros and iy was awesome meeting seth and talking to him

set the brakes at 10 and back off until you feel it is right for you, I leave just a little side play in the spool. If you start at 0 you will most likely have a back lash

Cool, glad you went! Met him at Joes earlier this spring. Great guy with lots of knowledge.

Yes he does have lots og knowledge i picked his brain for a while

I have done this and just curious when you are tesring it by just letting the lure drop how much over run should you get with out thumbing it.

 Don't worry about the lure dropping , just trust the braking system It will stop the spool

just try as I have stated , but start with the brakes on 10 and back off from there.

maybe someone else will chime in that has a Tatula sv tw 103 and know how to set it up, they may be able to explain better than me

That is exactly what ehler said on friday as well.

I bought two Tatula SVs a few weeks ago and they have been great.

This.  David your explanation is fine.  I have tried 5 and several layers of line will fluff, yet the spool braking has all the fluff removed before the lure touches down.  You can about eliminate the fluff if you use a touch of thumb just after the release.

 

If you set the spool tension like it is suppose to be set, you will have a very sizable backlash with the lure drop method.

 

Also it is my understanding that magnetic brakes don't work unless the spool is spinning at a reasonable rate, so I see no reason to set them at zero if you decide to use the lure drop test.  However, you had better have the spool tightened down more than what Diawa suggests.....unless your desire is to practice backlash removal.

Actually with the SV spool the magnetic brakes are always on. Even when set to 0 they still slow the spool to a degree. There are previous SV models like the 103 that have been considered overbraked. We're lucky to have the SV spool (though not floating) trickle down to the Tatula for ~$140. 

 

With that said, I really like this Tatula SV. I have no issues pitching a 1/8oz jig with a craw trailer with the brakes anywhere from 6-10. The backlash control sounded like a bunch of hype hoopla.. but it's pretty impressive. It's fun to set it at twenty and work your way down when learning to skip jigs.

Then the SV must be similar in that respect to the MagForce 3D braking as there is always some kind of braking in affect even when the brake is set at zero because I know for a fact I can't cast a reel with zero brakes on, but I can the T3.  Also I'd be surprised if the lure drop test increased braking if set anywhere but zero.  I would think that for the brakes to have any affect on the spool at the speed a lure drops, that there would be way too much braking at the spool speeds involved in an actual cast.

I have two Tatula SV's. The one thing I find with the Tatula SV that sets it apart from other like priced reels or even several more expensive reels to me is that I can use the brake around 6 to 10 and I set the spool tension knob to the point right before it begins to click and it's ready to go for any lure I will throw on it.

Finally went out and cast with the sv and you all werr right now i am windering if i should set up my tatula ct the same way.

Give it a shot. I am not sure it works as well with the CT or not but there is only one way to find out.

I am going to give it a shot as my casting distance was alpt farther with the sv
