Celebrating a 10 year anniversary in 2023, Daiwa’s TATULA rods receive a complete overhaul, elevating performance and reducing weight. Adopting a new SVF Nanoplus blank has been developed, reducing the weight and enhancing responsiveness compared to the previous model. Adoption of X45X Full Shield significantly reduces blank twist creating a rod blank that feels crisp in the hand. A newly designed Daiwa exclusive reel seat is present on some models, producing a handle that is slimmer, lighter and more comfortable. Fuji’s lightweight LKW and KT Alconite guides outfit the rods perfectly, with adequately sized diameters to handle the heavy leaders often used when Barramundi or Murray Cod fishing. A growing range, TATULA now encompasses everything from short traditional 6ft barra rods, through to carefully crafted technique-specific models like a 7’6” deep-cranking model for Australian Bass. If a new baitcast rod is on your horizon anytime soon, the new TATULA range must feature on your list.
