Got my Tatula R yesterday....

[DAnderson]

Very impressed. While try it out tomorrow. Very smooth.

Awesome reel. You will be very happy. Great Daiwa product without that "Daiwa price".

[mishasage]

that's actually a very good looking reel...

I share your sentiments. My Tat R is as smooth as any reel I've ever owned.

I love my tatula. All I wish is that the spool could be lighter. Hopefully the SV spool from the PE SV is lighter so we can source a few of those.

Yup.

Tatula Type R is among my favorite reels. I ended up selling my Curado and Chronarch CI4+ because I liked the Type R so much. For the prices you can find these on the net, it's just stupid; absolute no brainer. I threw some ceramic lightning knob bearings and OS7 spool bearings in mine, it's a super smooth casting machine now.

I have several Tatula and Tatula Type-R reels and haven't got to fish them much yet but what little fishing I have done with them I have been very impressed with them.
