My jdm tatula should be at my doorstep in a few days, anyone else expecting one, the wait is brutal.

Upon receiving it, could you measure the spool weight? I'm curious whether the JDM 103 spool is lighter or not compared to the USDM version. Thanks. I've got 2 Tatula Type-R's and already fished one last weekend. The distance getting out of a stock reel is pretty impressive.

I should ask my sources to see whether the Tatula 103 spools are available as a part sale

Hi there, they should be, at least after a while. I'm curious about the JDM spools weight.

Spool weight and line capacity please. :)

Line cap is easy, being listed on Daiwa Japan site: 120 meters of 12 lbs. line (0.28 mm) or 100 m of 14 lbs. line (0.30 or 0.31 mm). It's a "103" spool, but in tatula class.

I don't think (from experience with Avail reels) shallower spools weight less. It's more the overall system of spool and line weighs less.

Yes, but if the 103 spool will be 2-3 grams lighter, combined with the lesser line cap, that would add to some improved castability in certain lure weights, towards the lighter end of the spectrum. So far, I'm impressed with how this under $200 casts just as far or even farther than my tuned TD-Z Type-R tuned with all the goodies (105 shallow spool and TG ceramic rocket bearings). Tatula being stock, out of the box. With 3/16 oz. sinker, 3/0 offset hook and 3.8" iShad Tail soft plastic.

I just got 2 of them for MH fishing in tournaments this year. Mostly lures over 1/4 oz. PE lines from a minimum of 30 lbs. to 50 lbs. And we'll talks about in November how the reels held up. I will need them to get some hopefully big uns out of nasty cover.

Get ready to be amazed. The T3 Air didn't impress me as much as these Tatulas. Talking about specific casting range for each model. I'm looking forward to what the incoming Morethan might hold in addition of the regular Tatula.

Looks to be expensive...mag sealed BBs look interesting. I wonder of they're kept to other Daiwa BB dimensions.
