Is Daiwa Turning Into Tatula?

I'm not sure what you mean here. I see no one stressing. Judging from where you chose to place this reply, I am wondering if you are talking about me. If so, I assure you that I am not meaning to be irate, aggressive or any other emotionally negative adjective. I am simply discussing the gear with other folks who are discussing the gear.

 

I am an engineer and am used to writing things that are direct, to the point and without qualification. Sometimes maybe that comes off as something else because I don't apologize for disagreeing with someone.

 

On the other hand it is about the facts and not the persons, so it is never personal from my end. If someone disagrees with me I fully expect them to return the favor and we can discuss the issue and not each other...

 

 

 

 

Not referring to you in particular. More just in general on BR. I understand everyone here love bass fishing, and loves gear, and most of all talking about it. However for me personally I don't get the complaining about a reel having the same frame as another older model, or a T wing reel, or the name of a reel. Just my 2 cents.

I see what you are saying. I wasn't sure of what you meant based on where your post appeared.

 

Personally I like to know about how the stuff works and the "improvements" they make in reels.

I like the older reels better but am not averse to changes. I just try to figure out if the changes are real or just marketing features.

 

I liked it better in the old days where companies didn't spend half of their product cost on trying to brainwash me into buying the "new and improved" model when they wouldn't have to convince me at all if they spent that marketing money on making better reels.

steak burritos > chicken burritos.

They can ultimately release whatever they want. Nobody forces any of us to buy any of it. Luckily, there's hundreds of options.

My chicken burritos cast a mile and have never let me down.  

Steak burritos are the JDM of burritos .

Al Pastor beats both of them.

I can cast 110 yards with a steak burrito and a hollow frog.

Don’t make me pull out my chimichanga guys. I do not want to embarrass everyone. But I’ll do what I gotta do!

[Heartland]

Do you get beans or rice with your burrito and which has less stretch.

With the new 300 size Tatula that is coming out, I am starting to loose track of what Daiwa makes besides Tatulas.  It seems like they have a successful platform and are taking it a bit too far.  I am not for sure but I think there are eight current versions for Tatula baitcasters not including the limited designs and JDM versions.   I hope they start to change things up in the future.  

 

Maybe bring the Alpha and Morethan to the US market?  

 

What do you guys think?

It's obvious that Daiwa isn't too concerned about the same handful of cross forum posters who are very outraged about their business decisions. These dudes seem to take it personally. They pine for the old days, the halcyon era. They form crying circles over a handle retaining nut's cosmetics and other such nonsense. I do get the nostalgia for particular qualities part though. There are non-fishing vintage things I go after with zeal for the same exact reasons, but I'm not furious about a given company's current position. I know what it's like trying to keep the lights on without a safety net.

20 years ago I would have been thrilled to have just about any of the current Daiwa offerings available now. People were all agog when car makers started putting dual headlamps on cars. Oddly enough everyone seemed to love the big fins...go figure.
