Anybody throw Daiwa baitcasters?

More specifically one with the T-wing system like the Tatula or Zillion. I'm intrigued but I'm also wondering if marketing is reeling me in. In theory it looks like they should cast better.

I don't own one, but have used a tatula. They are great reels. Pretty flawless casting, smooth, good construction. They are a little on the heavy side compared to a lot of reels these days though.

I'm an unapologetic shimano fanboy but I don't think anyone out of diawa, abu, shimano or 13 makes a bad reel once you get past the $150 range.

I've née wondering the same thing. I'm stuck between a Daiwa Tatula SV and a Shimano Curado

All I own. Tatula's are the best reels I have ever put in my hand. I still have 2 old Advantage models (discontinued) that are almost 20 years old and have never been broken down and cleaned. They cast and reel like the first day I bought them.

Have 7 now with 2 Zillion SVs on the way. I've never liked a reel as much. I have variations of the CT and Type R

You putting that voodoo on the good people of the OB baw?

I had two. Both worked great for one year and turned to shite. It took them apart and cleaned and lubed and they still suck. I have no idea why they failed so quickly.

Just get a 13 fishing concept and call it a day

I swear by the old Curados but my son told me about the Tatula and how far he could cast it. I thought he was full of shite. I threw the one he was talking about - he wasn't. Bought him the CT Tatula. I refuse to back the boat off any further for now.
I might have to get me one too.

These people always seem to have the best price.

So each reward point = $1?
So basically buy 2 for the price of 1?

Naw $1 = 1 point. 200 points = $5 off, 400 points = $10 off, and 600 points = $20 off. Refer a friend who spends $100 and get $10 off.

Ah damn. Just ordered 2 Revo STX on Ebay for $110 each.

I use Diawa Vientos and the old green Curados.

What you mean? OB seems to be pretty split on baitcasters.

You are "thinking" people out of a reel. It was a joke
Posted on 4/21/17 at 1:19 pm to stoms
Zillion is the best reel I've ever owned. Tatula is excellent for slinging light baits against the wind. I've never owned a Shimano in my life. Over priced crap
Posted on 4/21/17 at 1:21 pm to stoms
I'm a shimano man, but last year there was a sale on the Tatulas and I picked up two. Love them so far, smooth casting and reeling.
