LCG Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 What's people opinion on these two brands of casting reels? Looking for something for an all around reel. Thanks. Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Daiwa Fuego $65 on Ebay same as Tatula without T-Wing and full Aluminum frame. Shimano Casitas $100 plastic (Graphite) frame paying for the name. Fuego>Casitas in every way. 1 Quote
Yudo1 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I'd choose the Fuego. It's basically a Tatula without t-wing. 1 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Graphite isn't plastic and not all graphite is created equal. That said, the deals available on the Tatula variants are hard to pass up. 1 Quote
shawnmc Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I love the Fuego CT. Check Amazon and eBay for a great deal. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 10, 2018 Super User Posted February 10, 2018 I’m a Shimano lifer, but between the two I’d say get the Fuego. The price difference just makes sense to choose the Fuego. Quote
LCG Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Thanks for the input everyone. Looks like it's unanimous for the fuego. Appreciate your help. Quote
CroakHunter Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Good choice. I run a few fuegos myself Quote

That said, the deals available on the Tatula variants are hard to pass up. Graphite isn't plastic but the "Graphite" used to make reel frames are carbon fiber infused plastic. Although it may be tougher than your everyday plastic it still plastic and still has a better chance to fail than over aluminum. Quote

Lighten up I was just joking about everybody not knowing what’s up I’m kinda a shimano fan boy when it comes to baitcasters however not so much of a fan on shimano spinning reels anymore. Quote

I'm not feeling heavy. A of some kind lets others know when you are kidding around. What Casitas? I only see one very nice bass. And that's no joke. 1 Quote

LCG Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 I appreciate everyone's opinions and respect that some people have different points of view. I have decided to go with the fuego. 1 Quote
