great reel, good price

Paired with a Duckett white ice medium/hvy rod. Simply a great combo! Got the 8:1 reel for pitchin' and couldn't be more pleased. I have used it for casting (ex. weightless swim bait) and could not be better. Love the T-cast feature. Using 40# J braid line. If reel is adjusted correctly then casting distance is amazing! (and adjusting is simple.) Reel is light enough and comfortable. I don't even understand previous review that says its 'bulky'?? What does that even mean? All I can say is comfort is very important to me, and I can pitch this reel all day with complete comfort and no fatigue. 8:1 ratio allows me to get several more pitches in per hour while giving plenty crankin' power to land fish regardless of size. Love this reel!Read full review

Diawa = not top of the line

I have fished extensively with several different top brand reels over the years and I wouldn't consider Diawa to be a "top brand". I wanted to give it a try since I've never owned one and was looking for a super high speed reel for a good price. Cons: It is heavier than most reels. It is bulkier than most reels. The thumb bar is clunky engaging and release. Pros: It's a good price for a 8:1-1 ratio reel.
I'll stick to Quantum.

VERY NICE REEL FOR THE MONEY LOVE IT , AND I'M A DIE HARD SHIMANO GUY

THESE REELS ARE FANTASTIC FOR THE MONEY. I ENDED UP BUYING 3 MORE AFTER FISHING WITH IT. I HAVE 6 RODS FOR JIGS AND FLIPPING. I REPLACED 4 REELS(SHIMANO CORE 50) AND HAVE'NT LOOKED BACK. THE GEAR RATIO IS GREAT FOR LINE PICK UP IN GNARLEY WATER. TIME WILL TELL AS TO HOW WELL THEY ARE BUILT, BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT THEY FILL FIT THE BILL.Read full review

Amazing!!!

The 8:1 gear ratio Tatulas are incredible for some reason. They cast very far, have amazing drag, and are great for fishing reaction lures like topwater, lipless, shallow cranks, and spooning. My new favorite reel.Read full review

Best reel for the money

I have abus, shimano, and lews reels and was a hardcore lews fan until I finally got a tatula and I will buy nothing else again, I will be transitioning all my lews to daiwa. With the tws it has a hyper long cast that’s super smooth and never backlashes, and for the money you get quality aluminum frame that’s lightweight and low profile that’s easy to palm. I love it will definitely buy again.Read full review

Great reel

Haven't had a chance to put it to the test fully yet because everything is still iced over up here, but I have a couple tatulas from last year already and they work great. This is one of the best prices I've seen on one of these and from playing around with it a bit everything seems to work well. Shipped fast and arrived in good condition, can't wait to use it this season.Read full review

Awesome Value

You can buy all the $300 reels you want....and I have, but I will take this Tatula every single day over any of them. It’s a workhorse of a reel and super reliable. Braking system is unmatched if you skip docks and cover. It can throw everything from an A-rig to a #5 Shad Rap all day with no problems. Best reel on the market in my opinion. Read full review

#1 bait caster on the market

Daiwa makes nothing but high quality products. I have never gotten a Daiwa product I didn’t like. When things get tough on the water Daiwa is my go to equipment. I do use other bait casters but Daiwa is my #1 pick. The 8:1 retrieve reels is a homerun every time I get a bass on the line. Like I said when things get tough on the water Daiwa cast further, more accurate and will cover more water in a short amount of time. Only down side is the cost. Daiwa needs to make their products less costly. Read full review
