- Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in for another video. As the video states, this was a reel that I didn't want to purchase when Daiwa first announced its release. The colorway was boring, the reel old Tatula LT spinning reel sucked and I wasn't sold on the minor things they added to the reel.... and my entire perspective changed when I bought one and started fishing with it! Check it out!
Reel: 2023 Tatula MQ LT 2500

The old Tatula lt is actually lighter than the new mq. Monocoque does increase the weight because the gear and frame are larger.
I stand corrected - in the video I mentioned that the MQ was lighter, the old Tatula is lighter indeed. Knew that going in but fumbled it in the video. Thanks for pointing it out.
Caldia 21 , ballistic are my pick do to gear ratio , line retrive for finese fishing
Have the 3000MQ-CXH on the Orochi Shakyhead rod. No issues at all. But pretty sure my next spinning reel will be a stradic C2500FM. Creek and river obstacles!
I have the same reel. The D designates deep spool(line capacity) and XH designates extra high gearing.
Love mine. Run chatterbaits, etc and have no comlaints.
I run 12lb Seaguar Invisx on mine.
Love mine so far. Haven't had any knocking issues like a few reviewers have stated
I’m loving mine so far! Definitely better than the last gen.
Nice looking reel. I like what Daiwa has been doing with their newer releases. The few Daiwas are good, but I dislike how difficult/ costly it is to service them because of their proprietary tool (for MQ) and Magseal tech.
Thanks for watching! And yes, that is something to definitely consider when it comes to servicing the reels. Great when it works but a challenge when you need to service it.
Just pulled the trigger on the 3000cxh, gonna throw it on a Phenix M1 7'2L. Thanks Chewy
Heard that these are better than the vanford
I’ll have to be honest, straight 10lb braided line I had never ran out of line on any 2500-3000 Shimano spinning reel. I don’t think tatula 2500 “D” really makes a difference compared to a Stradic/vanford 2500. If anything it requires me to have more mono backing than the 2500-3000 sizes in Shimano vs Daiwa
Bingo.
Ppl even get spool spacers for the high capacity spools.
Completely overkill, and a waste of line to have deep spools in these smaller sizes.
Shimano knows what they’re doing here.
I live in Wisconsin and also fish for salmon in the fall. I’ve had a handful of moments where my Shimano spool ran out of line on a big king. So depending on the fishing that you do, it is super beneficial to have that line capacity.
@@ChewyThaoFishing I fish for Salmon all year round in British Columbia. King can pool line, especially in heavy currents (ocean and rivers). However, nobody used a sub-3k reel for these large kings.
WAIT PLEASE! DO YOU LIKE THIS MORE SO THN THE NEW STRADIC??? I’m actually thinking about selling my daiwa MQ to buy the new Stradic
Video coming soon!
This or Stradic FM? I'm on the fence...
Stay tune for the upcoming videos!
I will. But I have an urge to buy a new reel. Maybe I have to get both lol
What’s this upcoming video?!? Cause I literally just posted my MQ on Facebook marketplace I need to know lol
@@lilcholo951why not keep it? What rod you using?
@@tims_always_fishing7117 well because the new stradic came out n I’ve never owned a Shimano reel everyone says they are better thn daiwas and I have the Shimano Expride B 7’2 ML
How do you switch the handle? Is there a sealed washer? Just got mine and any light pressure in reverse it unthreads…
Thanks for watching! Unscrew the handle off, unscrew the cap off and just swap the handle/caps so they are the desired side.
Had the tatula mq but sold it after a year. Prefer the stradic fm
😮😮😮😮
It's nice to pay extra money for that extra line that never gets wet right? and nice to add weight to the spool with that extra line right? The non-D Daiwa spool is plenty for freshwater already....
I live in Wisconsin where salmon fishing is pretty popular on Lake Michigan. I’ve had instances where I ran out of line on Shimano spools in the past when fighting a big king. So yes, the line does get wet!
@@ChewyThaoFishing just from your videos on the channel, you look like a bass fisherman mainly and some musky and walleye. None of those fish will spool your normal none-deep spool... this is a bass fishing reel. I'm sure you have so many reels that you don't have to use a finesse reel like the Tatula MQ for salmon... with how light the Tatula is, it probably doesn't balance well with a salmon rod... Daiwa USA has been keeping the deep spool for so long it's becoming a scam for fishermen to pay for more line. Majority of the people don't need 250 yards of line freshwater fishing...
@@TTangOutdoors Have you ever fished for 30+ lb stripers/salmon from the river bank? My 3K D tatula holds more 50lb braid than my 4K stradic. My lines always get wet going for fish like that. You can't always apply what you do to everyone's fishing environment. Sometimes you just need that deep spool for more yards of a higher pound of line too. It's ok that you're the majority and I, chewy or others are minorities when it comes to deep spools. 90% of the time in fresh water you can't get spooled out if you're on a boat or yak. Shallow spools are probably a scam too right cuz they been making them so long haha. Let me guess, why don't I just get a 4k size instead of the 3K D? I don't want a larger reel & slightly heavier reel. It could throw off the balance of the rod & am not even a balance guy lol personal preference is something we're all afforded in life.
@@BeenFishinSince88 If you really are targeting stripers and salmon, there are better reels than the Tatula MQ for a cheaper price. BG MQ is much superior than Tatula in line capacity, frame material (aluminum) and water sealing capacity. You are using the wrong reel for those fish man... Tatula MQ is a light weight freshwater reel. Stradic is a stronger reel with the aluminum frame. Most people buy the Tatula MQ for general bass fishing. Of course the Tatula MQ is great that it can handle those powerful hard running fish and glad you find the D Spool working for you.
Is ballistic and fuego the only one with magseal ?
Pretty sure all spins Fuego and up are.
All my Shimano stradic 2500 will hold 10lb 200yds of spider wire stealth braid
I wished they kept it all blacked out like my older tatula.
