I have a TD-Z 103HL Type R that happens to sit on an older 7'6" HF Zillion. For that reason it hasn't seen any use in several years. Really don't use a Heavy around here. Now if I could just retire to Florida. :( I prefer to cast right handed so the switch doesn't bother me. Thumb hits the spool ju...

Buy the TDZ and mod it as funds allow. You have over 30 spool options. Parts from many other reels platforms will swap. Sure for the RH guys 6:3 is as fast as you can get but I have frogged with 6:3 reels before and it worked just fine. To help mod your TDZ for frogging I would suggest some HH air ...

Last post is from February but maybe he still has it?

Those reels don't come up for sale everyday. Nab one and try it out. The Tatula SVs aren't going anywhere. Very true. I wasn't even thinking about it like that. I can easily get the tatula sv if I don't like it. Thanks Good luck. I wished I hadn't passed on a Megabass variant of one a "cover hackin...

don't need to hold anything down, just press the button. You can press button down with your thumb and hold spool at the same time or I just move my thumb after pressing button. I have 2 tdx and 1 tdz with that feature and have been using them since 2003 with no problems. No experience with the Tat...

I would hate to recommend a Tatula over a TD-Z but those weird lefty TD-Z are primarily pitching and flipping reels. They are ment to be palmed when "cast" which is fine for pitching but I can't imagine actually trying to cast one while palming it at the same time. Oh, you don't just press the butt...

I'm deciding between one of those for a frog rod, pitching and flipping as well possibly. The tatula would be 8.1 and brand new. The tdz is the one with the the flip/pitch frame and lever on the frame instead of a thumb bar. Both very close in price. Which would you get? I've also found a sv103 7.9 ...

Well that's good to hear. I sent it in today for them to look at so we'll see. Its my first time having to send one back and I definitely wasnt expecting to have to do it so soon but stuff happens I guess.

Has anyone sent a rod back to daiwa with an issue that wasn't necessarily a manufacturer defect and had good results? I quite a few daiwa rods but one in particular is my current favorite. The TAEL701MMHXB-AGS. I have had it a few months now but finally took it out fishing twice. Caught a lot of sma...

To say something is best without setting a parameter is a dangerous proposition, but to suggest that sales equate to what is best is simply misguided. That train of thought would lead you to believe a Corolla is better car than a Tesla S, or a Ferarri for that matter. Heck you prolly think Mcdonald...

that rod has been out for while. ive been using it off and on for the past 6 months. pretty decent rod for rattle baits in grass and blades. Is the action of that rod any different than the original tatula (tat721mhrb) or zillion (zil721mhrb). I notice the rod lure weight rating went up a little. i...

I have about 8-9 baitcasting reels and 6-7 rods. I usually take turns and experiment with combos plus different spools throughout the year depending on technique I'm trying for. I have a hard time doing that. If I have a rod/reel by itself I feel like I need to find a rod/reel so I can put it to us...
