new Tatula CT

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

That's a funny AB !

I'm super excited for this one and the new SV Zill.

I think we have more closet users of the tatuzillion than people admit after reading some of the interest.

Great work horse reels for me ... but hey the bar is set too high for some ... I think TT pride gets in the way of some actually saying they own or would consider buying ! :lol: 8-)

I'm sitting here right now with a new Curado and Citica and seven Daiwas. The one thing keeping me from returning the Shimanos and getting Tatulas is the width of the Tatula. I have smaller hands and the reason I got the Shimanos was that they palm better than the Tatula. Now I know I will be returning these Shimanos and waiting for these new Tatulas.

I hear you. Reason why I went with the new Citica over a better priced tatula. I hope I didn't start a hype train that will crash for a smaller framed tatula for 150, lol.

A little smaller sized Tatula would be nice. I hope it is narrower for easier palming.

From the pic, it doesn't look like the spool is gonna be much shallower. Would be nice to have a spool similar to the JDM Tatula. Still, these should be a welcome addition.

It is a smaller Tatula which I'm looking forward to. Most of the new stuff is being released at the Classic. I'm going to be ordering some new goodies. =D> =D> =D>

Man, I'm loving these new reels. I won't be buying any, but it's already driving the price of tws zillions down and those are excellent reels. I like the bigger frame myself.

I'd love to get a Tatula, I wanted to like that reel but it was just too heavy and clumsy in my hands. I really would like to see a smaller frame that felt good to palm with a weight in the 6.5oz to 7oz range, no more 8oz bricks.
