New toy on the way…

[Fishwhittler]

Just ordered myself a Daiwa T3 from Tackle Warehouse. Should be here on the 26th…I'm STOKED!

Thought about getting the Tatula Type R instead, as I could have got that for $20 less from Tackle Trap, but in the end the T3 won out because it has Magforce 3d, and because it's just plain awesome anyway.

Now the only question is how long I can hold out before the upgrades begin.

I love my T3' I have it paired with a medium light rod and 10# sufix mono. It's a 3/16 spinnerbait throwing machine!

Got my T3 from TW during the memorial day sale. I used it stock for a couple of trips before upgrading it. I put in boca os7 spool bearings, levelwind bearing and 2 more handle knob bearings. Transformed it into a the best casting reel I have. The extra bearings made it just a little smoother. Not a big difference. I was good stock, but is now an absolute beast with casting distance. All it needs now is a new drag star and longer handle.

Congrats!
New T3 user myself....One thing I can say is, they cast so damn well

I love my T3 too. I wish I had the money to get some more

A SV spool would be a fantastic start. I use a T3 SV for swim jigs, and I am super happy.

I didn't need to hear that. My wallet is aching badly.

You will probably end up with another one or wishing you bought more than one before they are no longer available

Most likely the latter; the former is beyond my means. As it stands, I'll probably end up selling a couple of my current reels to justify this one.

Though, I actually prefer having all of my reels a bit different from each other, so one T3 should do me just fine. I'd like to get a Tatula Type R next, or perhaps the new Zillion, just to see how they compare. Also looking at the Curado I and the Chronarch Ci4+. I've handled the Chronarch once, and it left me drooling.

T3 gets here tomorrow...

A question only. Does the line stay in contact with the upper lid once the handle is engaged and the retrieve begins?

There is a thin metal bar on the underside of the hood that stays in contact with your line during retrieve.Its function is to push the line into the central recess found on the T-wing.

[mark poulson]

Thanks. I was wondering how the line would abrade that cap. A metal strip would protect it.

I can promise it will be money well spent...the SV spools are amazing.

I picked up a T3 ballistic on ebay. It got here today, haven't fished it yet but it seems like a winner.

Congrats on your purchase! I thought about getting the T3B instead, since it's also on sale for half of what the T3 is currently going for, but in the end I figured, "you'll never find another brand-new T3 for the same price". That's what tipped the balance. May eventually get a T3B as well, and will almost definitely pick up a Tatula Type R in the not-too-distant future.

Then there's the new Zillion and some of the current Tatula variants, which are urgently calling my name…
