Daiwa Tatula 100/150

[tander]

Looking to pick up either a Daiwa 100 or 150. Sportsmans Outfitters has these 2 models on sale for around $113. I am going to use one of these models on a crankbait rod. Don't much much about either since I have used Lews for years. Which one would you suggest for using cranks. I am leaning on the 100 just because of being lighter.

No experience with the 150 but absolutely love my 100. So palmable and super smooth. My cousin, also a Lew's guy, tried it and was blown away. Said it was the smoothest reel he's ever felt.

I use the 100 for crankbaits.

It is super smooth and will cast a mile.

I just bought a 150 and so it is sitting new in a box. I definitely don't want to read about sales. This is going to be my heavy pike reel, so I picked the 150 for the added line capacity in case I decide to use 20 lb mono (I am going to spool it with 50 lb braid) + the longer handle. I am not sure if there are other differences internally with the 100, that can be hard to figure out in the blizzard of info about these reels. The 150 has aluminum side plates and the 100 may or may not, but I am not sure that really matters; both have aluminum frames. the 100 is lighter and smaller and so probably the better all around choice.

I have both, and like them equally well.  I like the added length of the handle on the 150, but the 100 is more palmable and lighter due to the smaller size.   Can’t go wrong with either.

My 100 is NICE

The 150 is fantastic reel! Solid as a rock.

I never have any issues with the size or shape, I find it very comfortable for a larger reel.

another vote for the 100

[Big-Bass]

My vote is the 150...fantastic reel!  Solid and looks even better with lime green SLP knobs!    Right now, it is sitting on my Curado 76H but I may use it for tossing lighter swimbaits/glidebaits.

Y'all talked me into the 100, just ordered. Excuse my bad misspelling, went back and spelled Daiwa correctly. ?

That does look pretty cool. Will probably get the 150 later this spring.

I think you made the right choice, I love my 100. I purchased mine from the same folks last year.

100 wins!

Tatula 100 is a great reel for the price range, good decision! I have one for medium crankbaits and no complaints about it 

[tander]

OK I did order the 100. Today I have sold 3 reels and looking at getting at least 2 more Tatulas. Would you get all 100 or maybe one 100 and one 150. I guess my question would be, can the 100 do all the things that the 150 do. Is the 150 better for throwing a jig or chatterbait.

[Emiliano]

100 vs150 it's your choice, 150 weight a bit more (If I'm right) and has more line capacity, for chatterbaits 100 will do the job.

If line capacity is your concern go to 150

 

[Bluebasser86]

I've got 2 150's and use them both for cranking.

[Hammer 4]

If you already have the 100, I would go with the 150 as suggested above. I have 100's a 150 and 2 200's. Very little difference in weight between the 100 and 150.
