Diawa Tatula Type R

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jig Man:
Curt it is primarily a highland reservoir method where we don't have vegetation.  I'm not surprised that is isn't working for you.  It works here for all three of our black bass, white bass, crappie, and sometimes walleye.  But the lakes I fish don't have a blade of grass in them.  We have limited standing timber, gravel and rocks.

I have a bunch of the first models that came out and they are an absolute workhorse. They are a little bigger and sit taller on the rod than alot of others. But if you have bigger hands like me you wont even notice it. Diawa has come out with the Tatula CT which is a compact version but I have not had the chance to try one.
The Type Rs you can find online for $130ish is in my opinion one of the best bangs for your buck to be had. The T wing system is no gimmick either. You will find that you can cast further with the T wing.
I bought a Lews for the same price to try it out and took it back and traded it on another Tatula type r. No comparison.
Last I checked I had about 10 Tatula's type Rs so yeah I like them! 

They are also releasing the Tatula CT SV at the Classic.  The SV spool is really something special espicially for lighter baits.
Diawa has really come out swinging the last few years when it comes to reels and technology.  Dont be afraid of the price tag. When they first came out they were right at $199.

@Jig Man That's pretty much what I figured. I have no doubts that it might work here in some situations, but keeping the weeds off is a pain in the butt.

JackJ:
Thanks @sbg .   The type R will be my next reel I do believe.    I broke my favorite rod last Thursday so I need to replace that also.

JackJ:
Tackle warehouse put them on sale today so I just ordered one.
