Re: Tatula SV TW103 inital thoughts
Here is an update......I opened up the reel and it was clean and well greased. I added a little oil to the bearings and a little grease to the gears. It didn't make any difference with how the reel feels. As I previously mentioned, I don't believe this reel is faulty - I just don't think this model ...

Re: Tatula SV TW103 inital thoughts
Just one drop of a good quality in the casting bearing and pinions. Try grease the pinion using a insulsin syringe, if you arent confortable over opeoning it. While I have not lubed it, I'm fairly certain that oil/grease are not going to make this reel buttery smooth. Once again, it isn't bad and I...

Re: Tatula SV TW103 inital thoughts
Folks are saying that Daiwa reels are shipping on the dry side. I would check the gears for grease if you haven't. FWIW my Elite and SV TW that I bought last month are real smooth under load. I have not used the reel under a load. I have not even put line on it yet. I do believe the reel will feel ...

Re: Tatula SV TW103 inital thoughts
Maybe it would be better for you to clarify what exactly do you mean by geary. Can you feel the teeth meshing like actually felling each teeth? Or is it just a white noise sound? Do you feel the reel vibrating when reeling? It's normal that the reel has a more connected hard feeling to it. The tole...

Tatula SV TW103 inital thoughts
I recently purchased a 2020 tatula sv tw103. I have not hit the water with it yet, but I have a few initial thoughts that others may like to know. I have heard that these sometimes come with a lack of grease/oil. I haven't opened anything up, but the worm gear does have grease on it. The compact fee...

Re: Tatula Elite vs '20 tatula sv
I have recently contacted Diawa asking for recommendations on a universal reel for largemouth bass fishing usually using a 7' MH, fast action rod. I did tell them that this reel will be very universal, as it may be used with rubber worms and a light 1/16oz weight, jigs, medium sized spinners/buzz ba...
