THE REEL TEST I already hate it lol! The zero adjust dial is so bulky and yes I think the citica is gonna smoke it lol. And do you think shimano will come out with a citica 200k 🤔
My Shimano SLX went south in a hurry. Bearing noise and casting distance dropped off after less than one season. The Daiwa 100 tatula has been my go to for about 3 years. I have 4 now and have been running the sh*t out of them. They are holding up quite well for $139 reel. I like the size and weight when matched to St. Croix rods.
@@knifeaddict1014 Try it out and let me know. However, you might have missed my point as I was referring to quality vs. price point. Your DC retails for $270 bucks! For that kind of scratch, it better come with a free box of doughnuts.
I have this one 60th anniversary tatula 100 gear 8:1 spooled 30 braid paired with Irod Kaimana 794 it's so dang light and strong I love the reel and rod.
I would rather see competition between this Tatula 100 and the Shimano SLX. In my eye it would be very interesting because they are just not at the same price range, but who knows...
@@THEREELTEST u are completely right about that, I used to think my Abu Garcia casts good, but it requires so much thumbing compared to the svs infinity of the shimano
Jacob Miller I agree they are just so bulky feeling!! Like you said Shimano owns the ergonomics! Seems like all of them are Comfortable and the slx feels crazy good in the hands
The ergonomics on the steez is good, it’s similar to the chronarch and mentanium. But they don’t compare to a curado k or a 13 fishing concept a or a lews hyper mag that I own, those are the best I can get my finger on the line easily. The zillion and tatula sv I own are hard to get my finger on the line, so I use them for rattle traps or spinnerbaits any kind of moving bait where I don’t need to feel the line for the slightest bites.
Ive held the tatula 100 and personally dont think its worth anywhere near $160. I have no desire to even cast test it. I'd take a Curado K anyday over this for a few extra dollars. Heck, Id take an SLX over it.
At least there's already aftermarket bait finesse spools out there,that should fit that,reel if those spools have the exact same dimensions. Would make better sense to just get one of the reels this new one replaces for cheaper,and get an aftermarket spool for that though.
THE REEL TEST I would think a cheaper reel would benefit the most with tuning,over a more expensive reel that comes with better parts. But yeah,if you add the price of the after market parts,you may as well just get the better reel if you can. If a person is short on money it may be better for them to get the cheaper reel and parts over time though,and stretch out the cost. That's exactly what I did with my AR15,and my gaming pc. I still want to get a better computer case for it,but I keep on buying fishing gear lol.
smoovefishing I agree with that,and you don't even need to buy an expensive reel for bait finesse,with cheap reels like the Tsurinoya xf50 that come with shallow spools,for around 66$. My revo ALC bf7 is way better though.
sgtpavlov i was fishing side by side with my cousin who has the Haibo Steed and I had my Aldebaran BFS and let him cast it. He was like WOW... much smoother in casting
Hey i was hoping you would do a review of this...i have this and had it the next after release..note: its a steez in an aluminum frame and of course with out the SV spool...the handle knobs are not the same as the steez..steez knobs are smaller..mine casts a mile and is surprisingly smooth but loud, which i equate to the aluminum frame..as is my fuego which also has a an aluminum frame.. for 160$? Its a consumer decision... casting? Havent measured but its on par with all of my other reels..steez,fuego,aldebaran, core50,chornarch..... personally i kinda like the CT for the way it feels in my hand but at the time they where 200$ Cant wait for your cast contest to see what you come up with..👍🏻👍🏻 for another awesome video.
@@rdk2323 quantum is OK I think, I have used one of their older reels and LOVED it, it wasn't very comfortable but casted like a dream and I had no problems until the drag kinda messed up and never worked right again. I don't think they are that much a good brand anymore.
I am a subscriber on your channel, but I want to make a request, if you can activate the subtitles in Portuguese would be grateful, I am not fluent in English, but I am fascinated by fishing.
Became a Daiwa fan when the first Tatulas came out, then the CT, and the SV. Good, logical progression there. But then the Curado K blew me away. A worthy successor to the E series. And now Daiwa is running the T-wing and Tatula all over the place, while adding dumb marketing flash with these new graphics. They’ve lost me. Personally don’t like matte finish, definitely don’t like the dumb spider graphic, and they can’t even put an anodized aluminum handle lock nut plate on the reel? Even the new CG budget Doyo reels have them! That plastic one is bulky and looks bad. And on top of that it has a heavy spool? I think if Daiwa released a truly refined reel in the Curado price point, one they’re legitimately confident in without releasing a new variant every year, they would do well. And I think they could, because the Tatula CT is really close. Instead, they go bonkers blow stuff up. Shimano can sit on the K for another 2 years or more, possibly giving the Citica a similar upgrade during that span, and maybe tweak the 70 a bit. I’m not at all interested in the SLX, though, so hopefully Shimano doesn’t let that aesthetic trickle upward to the flagships.
all good points, but since the "curado" class is so hotly contested i dont think we will see models last for more than 2-3 years before being replaced or potentially get left behind the competition.
Thanx for referring to this video. I have the SV TWS and love it to death but out of the Shimano's and Daiwa's, who has the smaller reel that could come close to the SV TWS technology or set-up? I love the casting of small baits on the SV. I know you said that you like the CT Typ-R but is it smaller than the Shimano SLX or the CG80?. Basically out of all the smaller reels, which is your recommendation and why? Carpal tunnel is a beast.
the CTs are bigger than all the reels you mentioned. Check out my CG 80 vid. As far as SV? just turn your brakes up a couple of clicks and you will get the effect lol. Right now from what I can tell the Tatula 100 and the C80 series are the smallest Daiwas you will get USDM. Maybe the Alphas SV is just as small but you would have to import it
go see if you can handle one in store. I love the way they palm. They are super small. The smallest reel I have so far and I have over 50 reels. If you just want a small SV the Alphas is probably the smallest but I doubt it will be as small as the SLX.
Why even test any other reels other than Shimano??? I've viewed so many of your reviews and you always manage to pump Shimano products while doing another manufacturers review. How about sticking to a review without bringing up your obvious preference. You can do it bro.
@@THEREELTEST No sir. Not at all.Your extensive bias is so obvious throughout all your reviews. Just name your page the SHIMANO REEL JUSTIFICATION TESTS.
THE REEL TEST I never viewed it as a price drop because this reel will replace both the CT and CT Type-R. At one point, I could buy CTs for $80 on eBay. Even for CT-Type R it wasn't that much more, but definitely less than $160. So, to me this is a price hike plus a reel with pretty much nothing to offer. I can't even go on looks alone, I think it looks cheap with the matte black paint job and that huge spider logo.
I just got this reel, I really like it. It feels solid, palms great, smooth, like the knobs and I wish they were on all Diawa reels. It’s price point is good, be perfect at $140.
Ive heard from a insider that they didn't premote it because they wasn't happy with the overall finish of it. So they aimed it toward kids. Something about it being to rough. Just what i heard.
Ok, so I may (more than likely) be getting this reel in 150 size as a Christmas gift, and planned on spooling it with 40lb Powerpro. Who thinks this is a good idea, the reason I want to use 40lb braid is that this is going to be a multipurpose reel
Im just letting you know if you order the 150 expecting this smaller Steez like frame you are going to be disappointed. those 150 and 200 sizes are using the original Tatula frames.
Yes of course, I work in the medical field, 50+ hours a week. This channel is just for a hobby to help pay for my fishing tackle. I cant live off the youtube money. Not married either so all my money belongs to ME lol
Will you are comparing a $200 reel to a $160 reel so you figure some components are bound to be different. And the reason the tatula 100 spool is heavier is because it's not A7075(witch comes on the tatula ct type R) but If you think about it if they would have used an A7075 spool then I'm sure the msrp would be up there at the $200 price range like the type R... Also the tatula 100 was design with the help of "broke" college angler's lol and was priced to make it more affordable for them and everyone else. Lol

Shimano is very unpredictable lately, no clue about a new Citica, but probably yes.
I confuse too, why they go eith heavier spool. My thought is that there is something change on the material of the spool shaft or the brakes.
I noticed that you changed the line that you are using. What line is it now?
same line, different color. they ran out of yellow lol
My Shimano SLX went south in a hurry. Bearing noise and casting distance dropped off after less than one season. The Daiwa 100 tatula has been my go to for about 3 years.

Why not just a good reel to begin with and you don’t have to buy extras to make it cast good

Seemed like a step backward but they did lower the price vs the Type R

BASS SLAYIN' NOOB 86 you can find them on amazon for about 130

Curado spool still heavier after line weight so it doesn't really matter that without any line it's a gram heavier
I got one and it's great, spool seems fast kinda like the curado (but not as fast).
