Tatula Signature Series

[jte54]

Does anyone know anything about the new Takahiro 7'3" H texas rig rod vs the 7'3" XH? Both rods are rated exactly the same on the Daiwa website. Is the XH the one similar to his original Elite pitching rod and the new H action a softer action pitching rod? I am wondering if these are modeled after the old Black label rods that he used to use. Back in the day he used a MH Black Label pitching rod and a H Black Label Pitching rod? Couple years ago I said in an interview that he was working on a MH pitching rod and this was after the release of the original Tatula Eilte rods.

Also is his new Mh shakeyhead rod the same as his old All-Around spinning rod or is it stiffer?

I remember Omori mentioning that tatula elite 73H was based off of his favorite black label PF 73H a few years back when the elite rods were being released.

I have the pre-2023 7'3" Elite, it's got "Pitchin'" on the blank and it's a "H" not an "XH". It's not a bad rod but I don't get to pitch much in my neck of the woods but it worked pretty good as a frog rod but I don't get to do much of that around here either.

Couldn't help myself and picked up a Cory Johnston 75MH model.

I was planning on taking it out for a spin today but it's raining again smh. Good components (fuji K alconites 11 + tip top, new air sensor seat) and simple clean build. This one does feel a little soft though, moderate fast taper. Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it this weekend.

I got to fondle a few of the new rods today at the Redcrest Expo. Daiwa elected not to bring the new rods to the show, but The Great Outdoors had a few they had ordered in their booth.

Comparing the old 7-3 Ehrler rod the the new one it’s obvious the reel seat is lighter. The balance point of the rod by itself is moved around 1/2 inch toward the tip.

Also the new reel seat allows for direct contact with the blank.

That cork looks better quality than my Steez cork

It was taken before i removed the plastic lol. Appears to be average cork imo.

I bet it's really similar in action to the 894 NRX. Him and his brother loved jig fishing with that rod. They use 7/16 oz compact jigs with small Zoom chunk trailers.

Would it bother you to post a pic of the balancing point? It'd be much appreciated

Here is with zillion sv tw. The handle is a lil short, i would have liked an extra inch in length.

oh wow, that's actually really good given its length. thx for the photo

I wonder is this darker silver is more of a match for the Tatula Elite reels? The old one was basically Zillion silver.
