Daiwa Fuego casting reel

[12poundbass]

I ordered my Tatula last weekend, it said delivery would be 3 weeks. It showed up today! I’ve already spooled it up and cast it a few times (one of the many pluses of living on a lake). Feels like a pretty good reel. I still have to dial it in yet.

I got one for my son to use as his first bait caster. I wasn't paying attention and bought the 6.3 model when I meant to buy the 7.3 for him LOL

On the Fuego CT bc reel can you pop off the side plate and pull the spool out the side or not?

The screw in the center of the mag-adjust dial - unscrew that and the cover comes off. Only thing 'bad' about the Fuegeo.

Plenty of threads (some with videos included) on setting up Magforce Z reels.  Shouldn't take you long at all to be bombing that baby.

I played around with it some more last night. I’m getting a bit more distance that my Revo SX. I feel I have it dialed in pretty good, but everyone says they’re virtually impossible to backlash....maybe I’m just “special” because I was able to a couple times. ?

I ordered the 8.x model. This is my first 8, I have a couple 7.3 Abu reels. The 8 is definitely fast, it’s going to take a bit to get used to slowing down when needed.

Ya, it's not impossible to backlash - I've done it a few times on both my Fuegos...8.1 with 50# PP and the 6.3 with 12# YZH. I will admit it's much less frequent a happening than with either my Supreme or Presidents.

No.  You are not "special".  Bet I have backlashed my Daiwas worse than you ever have.    My Magforce 3D reels are the only Daiwas that I can't say I backlashed bad.  Normally only a little overrun when I get carried away.  Haven't backlashed my DC yet.  Other than those two exceptions, I can truthfully say I am a master at backlashing on occasion.
