Diawa Tatula Vs Duckett Vs Omen Vs Tcs Vs Savvy 2024
JigMouth reply :
Looking at the best rod in the 150$ range and these seam to be the biggest contenders. Just want everyone's opinions on what is best or worst and why. Also was gonna throw the new IKE rods in there but they just came out. Thanks
MemphisFF reply :
Man you're gonna get a variety of answers, I own a 2 *** black and a couple Duckett Micros and I have had no problem with either the only thing I've had was cosmetic wise with my *** but performance it's been really good rods

I have a Tatula 6'10" MH-F and I love it.
WRB reply :
You should add Loomis E6X in the mix and look at Aaron Martens Enigma Edge series rods.

JigMouth reply :
Thanks guys but actually discard the *** and add the ghost. I've had terrible experiences with the *** and wont buy another.
bigturtle reply :
Tatula has an impressive amount of power for its weight. If you want a heavy rod, try tatula
JigMouth reply :
looking for a standard 7 medium action filler rod to be specific
SenkoGuru reply :
I am not paid by any of them but I've fished with Duckett Rod's for a very long time and IMO they are much better than the other rod's listed. Also do not buy a Savvy rod unless you are buying it for moving baits. It is the most dead feeling rod I've ever fished and no where near worth the asking price, if you do not believe me, do an internet search and you will see many others are saying the same thing about the Savvy line. The Tatula rods are nice rod's and they would work great but IMO Duckett should be the first choice.
Montanaro reply :
Tatulas and tcs can be had on amazon for around 100
Cgrinder reply :
It's a shame that you're discarding the ***, as it's the best blank of the bunch.
I have a Savvy 703 that I want to get rid of at some point. The build is excellent but the sensitivity is not there for a $180 retail rod.
The Tatula would get my vote but there's not really a Medium all-rounder in the line.
So I guess get a Duckett? Never thought I'd say that.
JigMouth reply :
Theye have a 7 ft. medium action in the tatula series actually.

They do have a 7' Med power but it's a mod fast, more of a cranking stick.

Ha, I wouldn't be opposed to fishing White Ice rods, but the exposed threads and locking nuts on the lower models are a problem for me.

I guess it would depend on what you're going to use it for (filler, as you said), but I wouldn't be fishing bottom contact or plastics with a Regular taper. However, if you spooled braid, it could probably work.
Lacustrine reply :
Love my Duckett Micro Magic. Very durable and sensitive.
fisherrw reply :
I'd spend a little more and get a phenix m1
gulfcaptain reply :
Gonna have to stick with the ***. TCS is a nice blank....but the butt section is too long for my liking. Ducketts are probably nice too, but again butt section too long and can not stand that trigger grip style on any rod. Just too uncomfortable for me. I'll fish a Falcon Bucco over the TCS, Duckett, and Tatula, but not before the ***.

Didn't Duckett come out with his rods in 2010? Or was that just when he introduced them?

Yes, they did come out in 2010. Boyd won the 2007 Bass Master Classic and then three years later he started his own Rod company.

haha I really liked the micro magic, they are really good rods for the money, but something about the avid x just gets me going 
JigMouth reply :
Was thinking about getting a standard 7 ft medium fast action avid. Anyone like the X more than the original?
bass raider reply :
l recently bought a 7ft. med. daiwa tatula and I like it so far.l was worried it was too light of a power when I got it but I think that's just the mod.fast action.l can't tell a bit of difference in sensitivity between it and my powell endurance.the build quality is excellent and with braid it makes a nice light t-rig rod. I had intentions of buying a duckett ghost but when I went to BPS to look at them some had cracks in the epoxy, guides were crooked even the duckett logo on one rod was partially missing.so I bought the tatula.i looked over most of the ones they had and they all looked very well put together.if duckett can tighten up on their QC they will be a hard company to compete with because I think their blanks are really good but until then i'll stick to my tatulas and powells.

I agree that the *** blank does feel really good in the hand and they are very light. But, have seen and heard of too many people breaking the tips off. I witnessed it last year and I would never buy one cause of this.
