Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
could someone that has 1 of these reels post a pic of the bottom rear side of the crank side? the tat sv has a cutout that seems to help my fingers avoid the gear case, and was wondering if the elite/tat 100 is the same

Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
Who has some on the water experience with these? I'm looking at trying one of these out or maybe another Scorpion MGL.

Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
In that case it is likely because the spool pin is a little lose in the pinion gear. Without load, the spool pin will rock back and forth within the pinion slot during acceleration and deceleration. OG DIY spools did this in normally silent Steez and TDZ reels.LowRange wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:59 pmBoth of my Alphas SVs make a clacking noise when turning the handle with no load on the spool. It is really off putting when playing with the reels in hand but once on the water they are silent. I've never ventured to see what it is but it is internal and coming from within the handle side plate.

Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
That's exactly it. I had the same thing happen to me with a DIY spool in a Fuego CT. It drove me mad, enough that I sold the reel and spool. It's because of a thinner spool pin, which is required in those finesse spools, because the shaft is also smaller.IlliniDawg01 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 1:48 pmIn that case it is likely because the spool pin is a little lose in the pinion gear.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Wow! Sounds like something everyone buying a DIY spool should worry about.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 4:00 pmThat's exactly it.

Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
Most people dont notice it, but I even noticed it on the Alphas SV 105 reels I've owned, and they had the stock SV 105 spools that came in them. That was the primary reason I sold all those off.

Re: New Tatula Elite Reel
Many of the new DIY models have thicker shafts now. Perhaps it was a common complaint. Never really bothered me, but I've got lots of noisy reels. My Brenious is probably my most silent reel.
