Daiwa Tatula 100 vs. curado K 2024
Sihua Zheng reply :
Have anyone use the new Tatula 100 yet? I personally owned a curado K but I have faith on the Tatula 100, if you have one and fish it already please let me know how is the 100, can it compete with the curado K? Thank you
LonnieP reply :
The Tatula is smaller and lighter than the K. I dont have one yet but plan on ordering a couple of them.
TBAG reply :
I love my Curado K's but have to say I'm intrigued to try the new Tatula 100. Unfortunately I'll have to wait to try one until the LH retrieves are released.
Junger reply :
Unless you have current issues with the form factor on your Curado K, or you don't like the SVS braking system, I don't see any point to getting the TTU100. Weight difference is about .7oz based on the specs, but that may or may not be significant enough for you.

Smaller and lighter is usually better for me. If it’s as good as the regular CT it will be awesome.
BaitFinesse reply :
I prefer Magforce Z over the SVS centrifugal. I prefer not to have to ride my thumb over the spool and react with thumb pressure to wind, baits slowing ect the way you have to do with centrifugal. For that alone I would strongly prefer the Tatula. I like the small size and high capacity of the 200K over for heavier baits though.

Shimano bait casting reels are have always been well know for the ease of throwing light baits up until recently did diawas start getting recognized for throwing lighter baits on their mid line baitcasters.

haggard reply :
I haven't tried the Tatula but I have a Curado K 201 so glad to give you my opinion.
The Curado definitely feels to me like a sturdy, full size workhorse compared to my other reels. Less comfortable but in some cases more capable. For example, compared to the Curado 71, I find the K larger and less comfortable (size, not weight) but the K has greater line capacity and the drag adjustment is less sensitive (in a good way... that is, one click on the 71 makes too big a change in tension). So far I haven't found the weight of the K to be a problem; I simply haven't noticed its weight. Then again, I haven't used mine a whole lot.
One quirk to be aware of on the K is that at least in some samples (mine included) you can't latch the side plate closed until you loosen the spool tension.

The k is a good reel a work horse I use it for spinnerbaits frogs deeper diving baits but that’s about it the k has become my least favorite in the shimano line up of reels although it has its place its definitely not my favorite reel. The 70 and the chronarch mgls are definitely preferable. Although I’m not gonna lie Ive been intrigued in the tatulas for a long time now just that when it comes time to buy I always get a shimano. I’m thinking of the tatula sv tw for starters this 100 had me intrigued until thereeltest review on YouTube kinda has swayed me from taking that rout.

No, light line/light bait specific reels from daiwa have been around for over 13 years.

Yes but not in the mid range theses were expensive reels, high end.
iabass8 reply :
No, they weren't. The Daiwa sol was a 200$ reel. Literally dead set as "mid priced" They've had both mid and high end "light bait" reels for a long time. You've been able to get sub 200 reels and put in shallow spools that still put you in the "mid priced" range for almost just as long.

The Reel Test won’t have anything nice to say about any reel that isn’t Shimano. You won’t get an unbiased opinion from that clown.

Yeah he’s biased so am I but the spool is heavy and the reel doesn’t look as sharp as I thought it would he does good reviews as far as how long a lure cast which really doesn’t matter to me as far as bass fishing goes but the weight of the spools and the details is what I watch his videos for. Tackleadvisors is good but he is also biased tords diawa and I really enjoy his break downs.

I agree. I dont think he sets up the Daiwas correctly in the casting tests either
burrows reply :
The reel test may be bias but his reviews are done pretty well ????????♂️ He records every cast and I think he does a good job at the casting distances when he tests the reels.
QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
He sure does trigger the daiwa fanboys.
Simple solution do your own distance casting videos featuring daiwa reels mostly, I will gladly watch.
Junger reply :
I'm not loyal to any company, so I just keep it simple like this:
Daiwa SV's for my lighter technique rods, and pitching jig rod.
Shimano for my long bomb/heavy technique rods.
BaitFinesse reply :
The reel test guy is a known Shimano fan boy, Bootytrain. Look his history up on the forums. His bias is well known.

I'd recognise that thumb bar obsession anywhere. I always liked Booty tbh. It is just worth noting the historical bias in the Reel Test context.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
It doesn't really matter if he is one of Shimano fanboy, but I guess his video help me made my decision faster to buy some of the Shimano reels. I dont take his distance casting test as main reason, tho. In real life fishing, we don't have time to dial in and adjust the brake just like he did on some of video with every lures, and also line size could be a big factor along with shape of lure, not just pain casting plug or lipless crank.
Back to OP topic, if you have budget I would get that tatula 100 to compliment your curado K not compete. This way you will know you like Centrifuges brake off Shimano or easiness of adjustable magnetic brake.
Me I like smoothness of Daiwa and color scheme, but i like Shimano in casting distance and comfort to palm of small size reel.

Agreed. He claims it's impossible to get the external dial below 7 on a tatula type-r. I can get mine down to 2 with the same power rod and same crankbait.

BaitFinesse reply :
When it comes to pure casting distance my Shimanos beat my Daiwas. My Daiwas outcast my Shimanos in every other way but the Shimanos are still better on a long cast with the wind to my back. The SVS centrifugal braking is more free at the end of the cast than the Magforce Z/V and Air Brake. I still prefer the Daiwa braking though.

What you mean by pure casting Shimsno beats daiwa and daiwa our beats shimano in every other way? I kinda got lost in here

Max casting distance isn't as important to me as the ability to cast well. My Daiwas cast with precision and control not found in my Shimanos. Roll casting working the bank, pitching, skipping and casting into the wind are all things I find that my Daiwas do better than my Shimanos. Casting distance is important but focusing on casting distance alone ignores the big picture. If a reel can cast 10 further but can't skip or cast into the wind worth a darn then there is very little appeal to me. I'll use the reel that does the others things well and then go move 10 feet closer when I need to cast 60+ yards at something.
In very rare instances do I need to cast more than 60 yards. I am however constantly presenting baits in a target rich environment where I value the additional control at low spool speed of Magforce Z and Air Brake spools such as roll casting a spinnerbait, skipping a senko or pitching jigs. For the close in work and regular use I prefer my Daiwas. I do like my Shimanos and am looking to add another as a super long casting deep diving crank reel at some point.

What about the 70 do you prefer over the K? I have 1 K now and 2 chronarch mgl’s and I’m requiring two more reels. I’m debating on trying the metanium or sticking with another chronarch and then maybe trying the 70

The k has its place and is solid but it’s limited to more heavy duty applications imo I use it mainly for spinnerbaits frogs deeper diving baits, but I’m not punching one ounce jigs with a big flipping stick and 80 percent of the time I’m fishing more fineness or weightless presentations. So the lighter reels I feel are better for the way I fish even squarebills I prefer the chronarchs.

Even the old TDX was a very capable "light bait" reel.

Thanks. Between the 70 and the chronarch then? Is there one you prefer over the other for certain technique or style of fishing? Or if there were closer in price would you just go with the chronarch?

If they were closer at price I would probably get another chronarch however if you’re debating whether to get a metanium mgl or another chronarch I would go with metanium mgl no doubt!!!

Awesome thank you! You feel the metanium mgl is that much better of a reel to justify almost 200 more? I need 2 reels and was hoping to try a metanium mgl for the one rod but was debating on trying the 70 or just going with another chronarch mgl as I have a few already and love the chronarch mgl’s

It’s really depends what you want to do with the reel ? The 70 will work be good for fineness and you can even get away throwing a ned rig since you don’t really have any fineness casting reels it would be a good addition but it’s a tuff choice because the metanium mgl well it’s a metanium so it’s gonna be up to you? I don’t have a metanium but given the rite price an opportunity to get it that’s what I would get any how you can always find the 70 on flea bay for like 150 I also feel the 70 might get an upgrade next year ? See what happens ?

Well I went to the store today to put the 70 in hand to see what I thought and went with another chronarch mgl lol it was a great feeling reel but the chronarch was on sale for 20 dollars more so it was a no brainer. I was fondling the metanium mgl again and I don’t feel much of a difference between that and the chronarch but I want to try one so the other reel will be a metanium mgl. Just have to decide which one for what. The chronarch mgl for more finesse stuff or for jigs and or if the metanium would make a better finesse reel or jig reel! Got to decide which gear ratio to get. Debating using the metanium in a 8 gear ratio for the jigs and the chronarch 7.1:1 for the finesse
