Daiwa Tatula MQ LT Spinning Reel

Excellent reel. Got it for a few bucks off retail thanks to Amazon

Due to external damage, had to buy another reel; this one seems even better and definitely much smoother retrieve than reel purchased about two years ago Excellent performance!!!

I love it already. It is a great match for the medium-light rod I received for my birthday. Lubed it and it was smooth like silk the following morning. As always, time will determine durability. I believe it is hard to purchase a bad reel if you do your homework. I could have spent less money but I wanted this particular reel. Not that others are not as nice, but this is a fine reel.

This model is stronger than the last.

Una decepción absoluta. Ya vino con un ruido extraño Al cabo de un mes de uso es un carrete desechable. Perdió la suavidad y la recogida tan pronto endurece como suaviza. No recomendable en absoluto.

Envio rapido seguro y justo lo que queria

I've always been a Shimano go to for years, and always will be, but was looking for a 2000 light reel for jigging and Shimano just does not have it in this price range with a larger high gear for more torque. I was using a 2500 Ultegra but it's just too heavy for long days of jigging. Tried to use a Stradic 1000 and it works but feels underpowered and with 6lb it's not ideal. Been using the Tatula 2000 model for inshore jigging with 6lb line and I can't fault it jigging for 5-6 hours non stop being so light. The only gripe is the handle has a tiny bit of play but nothing a shim can't resolve. I changed the handle to a black Titanium Gomexus with ceramic bearings and now it's perfect. I am critical of my reels and I have many including the 22 Stradic and Stella as well as other lower model Diawa's. This is an extraordinary reel in how it feels. The shaft feels that it's spinning on air when turning the handle, something my other reels don't feel like. It's really an amazing feeling. The reel never has failed once in operation and is very light. Line management is excellent but need to add a washer to get the line lay to not taper on the top from how it came originally.

Recently used on weeklong fishing trip. It performed great with average-sized walleye. Very light with great drag. However, trying to reel. In large pike & walleye, it bound up and had to keep pumping the rod to reel in. Purchased because it's supposedly a premium reel. Will go back to my Pflueger Supreme or Diawa Exceller, as they handle large fish easily. Very disappointed.
