13 best elite casting reels

Product description

The Daiwa Tatula Elite Baitcasting Reel is a high-performance, low profile version of Daiwa's already killer series of Tatula bass reels. The Daiwa Tatula Elite was designed and engineered with distance casting as the primary focus and an array of features to complement that objective. A variety of engineering technologies coalesce to make this the one of the longest casting reels on the market. Its re-designed A7075 aluminum spool is extremely lightweight, allowing for increased casting distance with minimal effort from the angler required. The highly-refined magnetic based Magforce braking system has been slightly tweaked from Daiwa's industry leading design to further maximize casting distance. The combination of the newly designed spool and the fine tuned braking system allows for an effortless cast, as the startup inertia of the spool is much lower. The Tatula Elite allows for maximum distance with minimum effort. The reel is also equipped with Daiwa's legendary T-Wing System, Zero Adjuster, a 100 sized aluminum frame and sideplate, and a 90mm Swept Handle. The combination of the newly designed spool, the fine tuned braking system, the T-Wing System and Daiwa's redesigned lightweight spool truly make the Tatula Elite the super car of casting reels, a valuable long casting tool in the arsenal of any skilled angler.



The Daiwa Tatula Elite Baitcasting Reel is available in Left and Right Hand retrieve in 6.3:1, 7.1:1, and 8.1:1 gear ratios.

Product description

The Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitching/Flipping (P/F) Baitcasting Reel is a low-profile baitcaster specifically designed to optimize pitching and flipping bait presentations. To do this, a variety of Daiwa engineering technologies combine to make the Tatula Elite P/F one of the best pitching and flipping reels available today.



Daiwa's already impressive Magforce braking and spool tension system has been re-engineered with pitching and flipping in mind by altering the magnetic pressure imparted on the spool as it begins to slow, allowing the lure to cast farther and enter the water silently. Standard brakes will cause a lure to take an upswing at the end of a cast due to the added braking pressure, limiting distance and creating a noisier entry, with the lure hitting the water with a loud splash. Thanks to this new Magforce system, this issue is no more.



To top it all off, a newly designed low mass A7075 Aluminum spool, T-Wing System (TWS), Zero Adjuster, 100mm swept handle and aluminum frame and sideplate all combine to make this truly one of the most purpose driven reels ever designed. The Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitching/Flipping (P/F) is available in Left and Right Hand models in 7.1:1 or 8.1:1 gear ratios.

• The Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitching/Flipping (P/F) Baitcasting Reel is a low-profile baitcaster specifically designed to optimize pitching and flipping bait presentations.
• Re-engineered Magforce system purpose built to cater directly to pitching and flipping presentations.
• T-Wing System (TWS) and Zero Adjuster.
• 100 sized aluminum frame and side plate, 100mm swept handle, and EVA handle knobs.
• Available in Left and Right Hand models in 7.1:1 or 8.1:1 gear ratios.

User questions & answers

Question:	I’m a little confused about how this reel operates. Can you still use your thumb to control the spool and slow down the lure
Answer:	Yes you can still use your thumb. The difference with this reel is that the magforce braking system is modified so that when the lure slows down less magforce braking is applied thus keeping the trajectory low and lure entry silent. Someone with alot of experience pitching can accomplish this with educated thumb pressure. I am not one of those people so this reel is for me.
Question:	Where is this reel made in
Answer:	Thailand

User questions & answers

Question:	Whats the spool size on this
Answer:	12 lbs-110 yards
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	USA started in Syracuse NY
Question:	is it pree strung
Answer:	No
Question:	Those who own this baitcaster.....do you find the aluminum main gear to be a weak point over a brass gear
Answer:	Not for what the real is intended for. Very strong gear, as I have been snagged several times and put this reel under very unusual strain on gear with no issue. Aluminum is a strong material used in everything from aircraft to my ttop being held up by aluminum tubing. Stronger material definitely, for bigger demands like wahoo. Aluminum should not be a concern here though.
