Re: New Tatula 150
Why not just get a set of 6.x or 5.x gears for your Tatula HD?DirtyD64 wrote:.... but just really wish I had a Curado K or Tatula CT-R in a 6 speed rather than the 7.3HD for cranking.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: New Tatula 150
I was under the assumption that they had done something special with those too. Do the regular Tatula Type R gears work in that frame? If so, I'm going after a 6 speed. I know that if the handle is turned when the spool is removed in my original Tatula Type R, it catches and feels awful. Now if the spool is removed and you turn the handle with the Tatula HD, it is much smoother, almost like there is some extra pinion support (not a bearing, but something). So I assumed maybe the pinions were different??? It isn't smooth like my Chronarch or free floating spool Daiwa's, but something extra is obviously in my HD's pinion support.hoohoorjoo wrote:Why not just get a set of 6.x or 5.x gears for your Tatula HD?DirtyD64 wrote:.... but just really wish I had a Curado K or Tatula CT-R in a 6 speed rather than the 7.3HD for cranking.

Re: New Tatula 150
Nope, same frame. I put 5.x:1 gears in an HD for a friend. They are dimensionally the same, but the HD gears are supposed to be tougher. Probably hardened brass on both gears. I believe the pinion on the standard Tatula is tempered phosphor bronze....but dont quote me on that lol!

Re: New Tatula 150
The reason it feels rough when the spool is removed is that the spool shaft isn't there to keep the pinion aligned. Stop that.
This is the way.

Re: New Tatula 150
Correct. If any Tatula feels better w/o spool installed it's just Las Vegas odds. The handle should not be turned w/o the spool. It's critical for the pinion gearing that the spool is in place during any operation. Stop that...

Re: New Tatula 150
Glad someone appreciated it! But seriously, the gears dont swap, I was just poking fun. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up!poisonokie wrote:Solid joke.hoohoorjoo wrote:hoohoorjoo wrote:Nope, same frame. I put 5.x:1 gears in an HD for a friend.

However, the new Tatula 150 gears WILL swap with the standard Tat 100. So the lefty guys can have another speed besides the 7.3:1 gears with just a gear swap.

Re: New Tatula 150
Says Aluminum Frame and Sideplate. Is it like the Zillion 100's full aluminum or is it have one sideplate that will be plastic?

Re: New Tatula 150
Well, every Zillion has a plastic palm side plate, and all the TWS Zillions have a Zaion gear side plate.Finnz922 wrote:Says Aluminum Frame and Sideplate. Is it like the Zillion 100's full aluminum or is it have one sideplate that will be plastic?
It has an aluminum frame and gear side plate and a plastic palm side plate like the original Tatula.

Re: New Tatula 150
I'm not turning it drastically, if ever. I did make the mistake and do that when I first bought the Type R years ago, but definitely know better now. I'm telling you though, the way that the HD Tatula handle GENTLY turns is nothing like that of the original Type R. I don't see any difference in them, but something has to be to account for that difference. I guess it is possible that the odds and just certain ones are different, but it sure feels like a slight design difference (even though I understand that doesn't completely make sense). The Tatula Type R cannot even really turn by my standard because it catches and no way I would turn something binding up like that. The Tatula HD doesn't ever have the pinion bind, and though not as smooth as Zillions or my Chronarch MGL, it does feel like something is holding that pinion away from catching inside its race. The Type R is like my old BB1 PRO, you cannot even turn it because it does/would immediately catch and bind.
Re: New Tatula 150
So my friend received his Tat 150 yesterday so we compared it to the original 100. As I suspected the frame and side plates were exactly the same. What I didn't expect though was that the spools were the same too! (the part #'s were the same) The 150 is listed as holding more line then the 100. In the specs for line capacity the 150 shows a smaller dia. line compared to the 100. Talk about b.s. marketing. So basically your getting an original Tat with a longer handle, an upgraded t-wing, and a matte black paint job. It does look pretty sick though. I noticed the part #'s for the main and pinion gears were different. The reel was not as smooth as I would like.
Re: New Tatula 150
So to order aftermarket bearings and spool one would just order a spool and bearing set that would fit the original Tatula and they would fit the 150? I mean the spool and bearing sizes are the same?
