Cypress, CA – Daiwa has just launched another Tatula reel. The reel was specifically designed and manufactured for anglers looking for an entry level baitcaster. Designed for everything from plastics to cranks to Chatterbaits and more, the TATULA CT (Compact) brings versatility to anglers.
Like the other higher priced reels in the Tatula family, the Daiwa TATULA CT also includes the T-Wing System level-wind. When you take the reel out of gear it allows for less resistance on the line, allowing the line to cast further. Daiwa’s spool lets anglers finely tune the spool tension while the T-Wing System level-wind opens up line feed, working together to cast longer, more accurately, and provide stress-free control when chunking into the wind, skipping baits or casting light lures. The T-Wing System is also helps reduce backlashes. It does this by reducing the angle of the line coming off the spool and spool speed.
The new Tatula CT also features Daiwa’s patented Magforce magnetic casting and braking system which is located on the exterior of the reel making adjustments easy to make depending on wind conditions, the rods you’re fishing, and overall aerodynamics of the baits you’re throwing. The dial extends from 0 to 20 (less resistance to greater resistance). Not only does the feature help maximize the length of casts, it helps reduce backlashes. With the dial on the side plate of the reel, external adjustments are easy to make.
The aluminum frame is comprised of a dark gray with anodized dark navy blue with metal accents, the reel features both the Daiwa logo and is tattooed on the Magforce side plate with the Tatula spider logo.
On the drag side of things, the Ultimate Tournament Drag offers a maximum drag of 13.2 lbs at full spool line capacity. Comfort and control is enhanced with Soft Touch handle rubber knobs and a large 90mm swept handle. The reel also features seven regular shielded ball bearings and one anti-reverse bearing.
The Tatula CT is available in Standard (6.3:1), High Speed (7.1:1) and Hyper Speed (8.1:1). And all gear ratios come in both left- and right-hand models, and weigh 7.2 ounces.
