Super User roadwarrior Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 Well, has anyone else tried this line? The price seems ridiculous, but I just ordered a spool anyway. I don't know, I already have buyer's remorse! Check out the testimonial in this ad: http://www.seaguar.com/products/tatsu.htm Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 Phew, that stuff is pricey. Heck of a testimonial on it though. Mind you, it's the internet, how much can you actually believe. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you. I've been interested in that stuff. Man it costs some serious bucks though. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 I thought about getting some of that, got the invisx, and abrazx instead. After the breakage issues with those 2 lines, I'm more than glad I didn't get any. Quote
Super User David P Posted July 21, 2010 Super User Posted July 21, 2010 Have not used it, but from what I've heard... It's amazing. No need for buyers remorse, just don't get a giant backlash on your first cast and ruin he spool. Quote
fishinflip415 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Got a spool of the 12lb and the 8lb. The line is great!!! I usually use invisix but stepped up on a couple reels. I have mostly been using the 12lb for cranking and the 8lb for dropshotting. I have also used the 12lb for leaders attached to 40lb samurai which also has worked great. I have no complaints thus far. 8-) Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted August 26, 2010 Super User Posted August 26, 2010 Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I was wondering how you're liking this RW? I've been using Tatsu most of this season and have really grown to love it. It's got the right stretch and it remains reasonably supple. The knot strength is better than any fluoro that I've used, and the castability is far greater than a more stiff line. The problem I've had with it thus far is that it really isn't a good line for some of the gold pit lakes I fish in CA. I've had some abrasion problems, but I think I've had worse problems with other fluoro lines that I've fished in the past. The initial price is a bit rough, but so far it's lasting a lot longer than most of the competitors I've used. (BTW I searched specifically to see if anyone else had brought the line up, I'm curious to see what others think of it.) Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 26, 2010 Super User Posted August 26, 2010 How you liking the Tatsu Road Warrior? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 26, 2010 Author Super User Posted August 26, 2010 Well, it's only been a few weeks, but... This is the finest line I have ever fished! We'll have to wait and see how it holds up over time. The big test will be how it performs on the Tennessee River. So...the jury is still out. Quote
skey44 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 My new Steez should be here tomorrow as should my Tatsu! Looking forward to putting it to the test! of course after I go through a break in spool on the steez to make sure I can cast it ok before I birdsnest a $25 spool : Quote
