Daiwa has done well in the past few years to make reels that are capable of being used in both fresh and saltwater. One of the ways they accomplish this is to make their casting reels larger; allowing for more line capacity. The other is for beefing up the drag and making the components more durable and corrosion resistant. What I found useful about the Daiwa Tatula 200 HS, Type HD with a 7.3:1 gear ratio was that Daiwa has worked hard to perfect their magforce Z cast control. Yes, you can still get a backlash with this reel. However, if you dial it in correctly, you'll be able to make some seriously long distance casts without worrying about whether you're going to end up with a bird's nest. It's also still small enough to easily palm when you're working artificial baits. It doesn't have the same drag power as some of the 300 size reels have, but at what I believe is about 13 pounds, you'll be able to give most species a good fight. If you hook something you have to chase in the boat, then you'll have all the more fun as a result. These reels are indeed well made and beautiful. Looks don't put fish in the boat, but if they did, you'd fill your cooler in no time! It's a great reel that you'll thoroughly enjoy using.Read full review

Before I purchased this reel I swore I would never pay XX amount of money for a fishing reel. Then I got caught up in the slick videos Daiwa did before the launch and I purchased one just as the Striped Bass season was slowing down on the California Delta. Within 2 trips on the Delta I was sold, I could not believe how much further i could cast the same lures i had been using all Fall. The retrieves were smooth, drag was excellent, I was sold. Even a few fishing friends were amazed at the casting distances I was able to get. Needless to say I now own 4 of these reels and plan to get 1 or 2 more. No more ties, shirts or gift cards for me for Christmas I want a new Tatula fishing reel :). Just like all of the other reviews you have to try this reel to fully appreciate it. i am pulling in Striped Bass, large Mouth Bass and Salmon with this reel. I love it and won't be switching away from it any time soon.Read full review

Great reel with the HD and larger spool which makes a nice alternative to using 300 size reels for inshore fish. Very smooth operation and casting.

I have not had a chance to use this reel yet, but I am very happy with its qualities out of the box. Great fit and finish. I have a lower priced version of this reel that I have used for several years and it has been flawless so far. I expect this one will perform at a high level as well.
