Just bought one since all I own is Shamano and we fished a little over 6 hours and it was so good i didnt miss my Shimano's. Even my son likes it better super smooth and will throw anything !
These are my go to reels. I have always liked how they feel and how they cast any bait you put on them. Thanks for watching the video and commenting. We appreciate it.
I teach people that have never thrown a baitcaster how to cast without getting a backlash. It is the best anti backlash reel on the market, even better than the DC reels with the computer chip in them.
Yes this is a great reel and casts amazing. If you didn’t see I did have some issues with it I did a video on it and some short videos. But I did get it resolved. Thanks for watching
You must be really hard and abusive on your fishing gear. I've been fishing since the early 70's using primarily Daiwa Reels, and like Josh, I too keep up the maintenance on them, and I have yet to need replacement parts on any of my Reels. Good luck to you Sir. Tight Lines!!
The K’s suck. I have lots of Curado reels that I love from previous gen and I have 2 metaniums. Nothing against shimano reels, but the K is just not the quality of the previous generation curados. Not as smooth, feels too large to me, doesn’t cast as well. I’m looking at Tatula to try another brand’s $200 reel for that reason. It may not be any better, with my high expectations, but we’ll see. Diawa has one shot to show me something. Also, the Curado M looks identical to the K to me so not sure they really changed anything, so I’m not even looking at that one based on my experience with the K.
What is a good rod to pair with this reel? I fish smallmouth fishing from shore a lot on the mississippi and bass from my canoe in smaller lakes. Will it work well with smaller jigs, topwater and wacky worms? Thanks!
This reel would be good for jigs and Topwater probably not so much on a wacky since most of the time they are fished on a spinning reel. As far as a rod check out the Dobyns Fury line they are priced around $129 and are great rods. Hope that helps thanks for watching
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 thanks for your advice and info! Much appreciated 😊 I’m looking at a Mojo Bass rod to pair with it. A medium heavy action with fast action. Would that work?
Hello Josh and Hunter, I'm new to your videos, I just subscribed. I absolutely love this reel; (I have 2 of them among my collection of Tatula's 11 total of different varieties). Both are "identical" SV TW 103's, however, 1 has Purple and the other has Gold on it. They are both an 8.1:1 gear ratio reel as well. I'm not really sure what to make of the different colors with the same gear ratio on the exact same reel. If you have any insight on this, please share. Thanks, and Tight lines fellas!
If you are talking about the colors that Daiwa uses on the reel for distinguishing the gear ratio. Each speed has a different color. Is that what you are talking about?
Yes, however I have 2 SV TW 103's that are exactly the same. Yet 1 is purple, and 1 is gold... I was also under the impression that the different colors meant different gear ratios... I don't understand it either
It is a good reel I did just blow the anti reverse bearing out of one though. But it is a dedicated frog reel. So it get used a lot and gets it’s fair share of work horse on it.
They stopped changing the colors for the diff gear ratios in the 2020 model. You must be reviewing the 2017 model. Both great reels. Some stores sell the old model under the same listing so that's kind of annoying. But they have a 2017sv, 2020sv, and 2023sv. Only the 2017 has the color coding.
@ the housing is different on each model. Performance wise not that much different besides the 2023 having the sv boost spool and the 2017-2020 having the original sv spool and a slightly wider handle on the 2017. Hand in hand the 2020 got a smaller housing and shed a good amount of weight. The 2023 has a concave upper for people who hold their thumb over the entire spool. But it’s definitely not worth upgrading imo if someone has the original models in good working order.
Well they are not in the same price range and I have not used the curado dc so I can’t speak for them. I have heard great things about the dc though. Thanks for watching
I was told all Tatula in the last couple years have zero adjust I been using Tatula for a long time and I don’t remember the last time I touched the tension knob I just take them straight out of the box and use them never adjust it from a Texas rig to a topwater or crankbait and I got a bunch
You can check the model on the box if its tatsv or tasv i can’t remember exactly its the older model if its the ttusv its the new model with zero adjust also wont have color accents but instead spider decals
Yes, I have four. Only one backlash when I snagged weeds on the back cast. Love these reels.
Awesome thanks for sharing your experience with them.

Very nice reel, I had that reel but returned it and went with a Shimano. I am thinking about this one for my topwater reel as well. Great job guys!
Curious on why you returned it? Thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
Interesting, i returned my SLX DC for this reel instead.
Returned a Curado for a Daiwa SV, weird.
Looks like a great reel! Thank you for sharing my friends!
Thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
Interesting review. Thumbs up.
Awesome thanks for stopping by and checking it out we appreciate it
I have 3 Tatula's. 1 SV TW, 1 SV TWS and Tatula 200 for swimbaits. I love them all.
Ya I like mine out of all the ones I have there is one that is giving me trouble and gonna have to get it worked on.

I just bought a couple Curado K’s. The deciding factor for me was availability of parts in my area for Shimano vs Diawa.
Parts what kind of parts do you need? I been fishing these for years and every few months take my reels and oil and grease them never needed any parts
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046where would one take their reel to have it serviced?
@@ConnersvilleBarber you can service it yourself it’s super easy I have videos on the channel that show you how to do it.

The spider in the reel IS the old or New reel baitcasting ? Who IS the best ? Thanks i want to buy a tatula sv tw
@@pierreolivier7990 all of the Tatula line is great no matter what model. I have used them all and been very pleased. Thanks for watching
Best reel on market at price point ! Even cast 3 grams easy with it.

Yes they are worth the Hype. They are awesome reels.
I agree they are great reels. One of my favorite. Thanks for watching and commenting
I love the new tat sv great reel this ones great to

I have this reel and it's a workhorse. Only thing is that my hands are pretty small and gets uncomfortable after fishing for a while.
They are great reels for sure. You know they now make smaller Daiwa reels in a 80. Might be something to look into. Thanks for watching
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046yes, thank you! I've been looking into the Tatula SV TW 70
@@jessicaho19 good luck I think you will like it.
Better than curado dc ??
Well they are not in the same price range and I have not used the curado dc so I can’t speak for them. I have heard great things about the dc though. Thanks for watching
Pretty sure this is the older model that doesn’t have the zero adjust actually
I just bought it
I was told all Tatula in the last couple years have zero adjust I been using Tatula for a long time and I don’t remember the last time I touched the tension knob I just take them straight out of the box and use them never adjust it from a Texas rig to a topwater or crankbait and I got a bunch
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046how often do you adjust the brake tension?
@@katietrotter9374 I have never touched it how ever they set it at the factory is where it is they cast amazing they way they are
You can check the model on the box if its tatsv or tasv i can’t remember exactly its the older model if its the ttusv its the new model with zero adjust also wont have color accents but instead spider decals
They should have called it the Tatula Really Really Super Super... ; )
You a fan I guess of it then? I like them.
