More bass anglers are using spinning gear these days, but not just any spinning gear. The Daiwa Tatula LT Spinning Reel is specifically made for the performance-oriented bass fisherman. Like today's baitcasters, the Tatula LT offers advanced engineering to give you an extremely lightweight, strong, and responsive reel that can handle sophisticated bass fishing techniques. With its Zaion™ "high density" carbon-strain body, hollow stainless steel Air Bail®, state-of-the-art Air Rotor that weighs 15% less than other materials yet offers enhanced strength due to equalized pressure, and digitally machined A7075 aircraft-grade aluminum Digigear™, this reel delivers smooth, flawless operation in every phase. Its 7-bearing (6+1) system includes 1 CRBB, 5 stainless steel ball bearings, and 1 instant anti-reverse roller bearing. Built "Light and Tough" all around, the Daiwa Tatula LT merits go-to position on your casting deck for tourney day.

DisappointedI have been a faithful Daiwa user most of my life. I started with the first pro caster. I used the solas and still have one that works great. I tried the fuego and and at times had issues with the anti revers. So I switched to Plugers top line spinning reels for a few years. I had some issues with anti revers on my last top line Pluger that I was about to replace all my spinning reels with so I tried the Tutulla. The first one still works ok. It is supper smooth to reel but the drag is not at all smooth but I was impressed with the weight. My second Tutulla is now in the bottom of the boat. It will never see action again and I will never buy another Daiwa in my life. I don’t plan to contact anybody at Daiwa. I got a bit close to the boat and this awful sound accompanied by excruciating pain on my right index finger and the reel spinning backwards has done it for good. Daiwa needs to go back 40 years to when they made great innovative reels and pick it up from there. I’m done with Daiwa for good. It like a Ford man switching to Chevy. I need something I can depend on for years. If Shimono can get it done i will need 6 to 8 new spinning reels.

Like, but not loveAfter using CI4 for many years this is a very good reel. The look and feel of the reel is very nice and it pairs well with just about and rod. Spooled up with 10lb nanobraid and hit the water. Fished steelhead in the morning without and issues and bull bluegill in the afternoon, Anaheim without any issues. So far a very solid reel. The only thing I noticed that was different from my CI4(besides the weight, this is much lighter) is the sharp edge on the spool. The line on the CI4 just flies off the spool. This reel it’s like you can hear the line drag almost. It however did cast just as far. Going on a marathon fishing trip and that should be the determining factor. Overall, it’s a very nice reel you can fish with, and make lots of cast without getting wore out.

Great reel!This is an awesome spinning reel. It's one of the lightest reels I've ever held in my hand, and it's also very rigid and quite durable. The drag is amazing too. First off it's very smooth, and the drag knob is huge and comfortable to use and adjust, and it only takes a few clicks to really tighten or loosen the drag. The retrieve is also quite smooth. Every once in a while I will feel a kink or the gears meshing especially with heavier baits, but for the most part I don't feel too much and reeling in baits is very pleasurable. Reeling in a fish though with this thing is just pure fun. Even though cranking the handle isn't the smoothest I've felt, it's definitely very powerful for a spinning reel. It takes virtually no strength or effort to crank the handle while the rod is under a heavy load, and therefore getting a big bass close enough to you to land is easy and a lot of fun. Love this reel!

A little dissappointed so far.Purchased a Tatula LT 2500 at the End of March 2018 to try to get away from Shimano Stradics (Have owned a bunch over the years). At first was extremely impressed. Light and smooth. Have used it on maybe a dozen outings. Today, the anti-reverse slipped backwards on a 15 1/2" smallmouth bass. Bummer. Have had this happen on many other brands of new reels except Shimano. Was planning to start replacing my Stradics, but not now. Never submerged, used lightly, and only 6 months old. Back to the drawing board. Hope to contact Daiwa Monday to see what to do next.

Solid reelI have three Tatula LT reels that have been well used. Great even line lay. Got into some big bass on a size 2000 with 6lb line and the drag was fantastically smooth. Great screw in handle, smooth gears, nice bail. Also, these guys are super light while feeling really solid. I dig the Darth Vader look. Zero issues with them.

My favorite new reelI bought two of these to use at the start of this season. I have a two week trip to Michigan and all my local fishing on these Tatula reels and they are incredible. Zero issues. Everything I expect from a spinning reel is there, solid bail opening, great drag, smooth retrieve, great line management, light weight, and such a solid feel. Easy to recommend. Also they are great looking reels.

Poorly builtI bought this reel after reading the reviews and on the recommendation of a friend. After spooling with 15 lb. braid I went to use it at the lake and when I got it out the drag had become loose and I had set it at home. I couldn't get it to tighten up. I took the spool off to see if something had came loose. I couldn't see anything, so I put it back on and tried to retighten the drag, but no matter how much I tried it wouldn't tighten. Tried it again and the same result. I will be sending this reel back. Maybe it is just this one reel but this is supposed to be a quality reel
