Tizi Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I am looking for a good skipping reel. I have read the Dawia Tatula SV TWS is a good choice. They have them on sale at American Legacy for $169.99. I am thinking about picking one up for this application. Are there other reels I should be considering for this purpose? Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 19, 2019 Super User Posted July 19, 2019 Any spinning reel. 1 Quote
Largies4Life Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 No reason to look any further than the Daiwa Tatula SV. Can't beat it for the price for skipping purposes! 1 Quote

I have SV reels: Tatula, SV105, Zillion and Steez. If you’re skipping 1/4 oz and heavier, a Tat works well and is a great value. If you’re looking to go less than 1/4 oz and/or weightless than the others would serve you best. I had a harder time getting any distance skipping a weightless wacky worm last year with Tat/Zillion. Switched to the Steez this year and yes, it’s as good as it gets for weightless. 2 Quote
5by3 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Any of the Daiwa sv reels and don’t even bother to look further! 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 20, 2019 Global Moderator Posted July 20, 2019 I've got Tat SV and Zillion SV, best skipping reels I've ever owned and it's not even close. 2 Quote

You don't need to go any higher end than that reel, it is an amazing skipping reel and multi-purpose reel. I have it on a 6'9" MH/F Kistler Mag 2 and I use it to skip and do pretty much anything that isn't in extremely heavy cover. Quote
Shimano_1 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 While I'm not particularly fond of the tatula sv I will give it this one. If its intended for skipping purposes it's a hard reel to beat. Much more forgiving for this technique 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 21, 2019 Super User Posted July 21, 2019 My personal choice for skippy baits in order.... Shimano Core 101, Daiwa Steez SV TWS, and the Shimano Curado DC. Quote
