Difference in Daiwa reels

[SWVABass]

Can some one give me a good idea the difference between the tatula 100hd and the 100hd ct? Thanks!!

I'm not sure there is a Tatula HD on the CT platform.  The HD is built on the original Tatula frame with a deeper spool.  It's a bit beefier hence the HD (heavy duty) and meant for heavy baits and line.  The Tatula CT is the newer design which is built on a smaller frame than the original.

@RichFOk may have read something wrong but I appreciate the answer. Besides weight any advantage to the ct?

The CT was designed to compete more closely in size with some of the competition (like Lews). Personally I was lucky to fish a Daiwa Exceler (early non TWS reel) that a friend owned and loved it so much I sold off all of my Shimanos and BPS reels. I currently own about 7 original Tatula 100 series reels, Tatula Type Rs, Tatula CTs and one Exceler. The Fuego CT sorta replaced the Exceler in the lineup, but it is a nicer more refined reel in my opinion.

I have gotten so used to all of the different Diawas I do not even notice which one I have in  my hand at any time.

I’m not sure if there is a Tatula 100HD. The Tatula HD is a 200 size reel.The only Tatula casting reels that I know of that were released in the US are the Tatula Type R, Tatula 100, Tatula HD, Tatula CT, Tatula CT Type R, Tatula SV, and Tatula 150. I could be missing some.
