DaiwaTatula SV TW Baitcast Fishing Reel

Has survived many family fishing trips, great memories bringing in many bass. Has had no issues with this reel - easy to use, lots of torque to bring in larger bass and northern pikes. No backlash issue after casting all daylong

These are one of the best anti backlash reels on the market period

Reel is as advertised. Smooth retrieve and very accommodating for casting. East adjustment for the brakes and spool tension. What could be better is line capacity, but the pros outweighs the cons. If you went a mid-high tier baitcaster this is a amazing one to start with. With the higher speed 8.1 top water is easy and you can always slow it down when needed. The TWS system really does help the spool straighten up after cast and retrieve. I know because I've spooled it poorly before. Another great feature of this is the size of the reel. Small yet light and also well built. No rattles or loose parts. If you want durable and easy to use this is an amazing one to get in your arsenal.

It's unreal how easy and smooth it is, I'm kinda new to baitcaster and it made it so simple. No backlash 🙂

I always saw the value in this reel‘s performance, but the other day I did something I’d been meaning to do for awhile.I’ve got the reel on a Dobyns Fury 733c rod,spooled with 20 lb. Sufix 832 braid with a 12 lb fluoro leader tied with an FG knot.I tied on a 4/0 Gamagatsu Superline EWG worm hook, and set up a 5” Senko Texas rigged weightless. I stood in the driveway and made a cast with no wind, set the rod down and measured the distance.That Weightless 5” Senko traveled 86 feet. And I duplicated that cast several times within a few inches. That’s a monster cast, and I believe there are guys out there doing better than that.This reel is as good as advertised.
