What's the deal with the new Tatula CT?

[Glaucus]

I was browsing TW and saw a new Tatula CT. It's the same price ($130) as the other Tatula CT. The difference seems to be 7.4oz (old) vs 7.2oz (new), the 7.3 (old) is now 7.1 (new) but with the same IPT (from the Daiwa website), and no red on the new. Is the red one being phased out? Will this be the new standard CT?

It's probably just the slight changes they made for this years model.

It’s the same exact model as before. The only changes are cosmetics/knobs.

I heard the new one has 1 less bearing

they had one on display at bass pro shops. 

I played around with it and compared it to a couple other Diawa's.

Like @iabass8 mentioned it seems identical to the old ct.

It is a nice looking reel.

 

While comparing it to the tatula 100 and the tatula sv, it did not seem as smooth.

the difference could have just been because it was a floor model and needed some lube.

 

It is around $30.00 cheaper than the 100.

I believe this update is similar to the updates they did with the Tatula SV. They changed the gear ratio on the 7.1:1 to 7.3:1 and made it slightly smaller and lighter.
