Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Not sure how long these have been out for, but nice to see a 5:1 lefty so I grabbed it and a 8:1 as well.

Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Very cool reels. Looks like I can only find them on Digitaka for now
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Why did I open this thread... I wonder if I will get one on time if I order one tomorrow...
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
They've been out for a little while. Last time I priced one on ebay they were like $300. No thanks
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
That's where I got mine $250 w free shipping and they take Paypal or credit card. It was my first order from them, but I've heard good things. $250 doesn't seem too bad for a tatula sv tw with a 90 mm SLP carbon fiber handle, custom knobs and some other upgrades. I just spent $100 on a SLP carbon handle alone for my steez.evilcatfish wrote:Very cool reels. Looks like I can only find them on Digitaka for now
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
The cranker is new, but the 8.1 has been out since last summer. Is it me. Or does the cc have a shorter handle?
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
If you're referring to the pics on digitaka's displays I believe it's just the angle of the reels in the pic. The CC shows the handle at more of a side view and the 8:1 at more of an angle, but I believe they are both 90mm.KP Duty wrote:The cranker is new, but the 8.1 has been out since last summer.

Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
I ordered mine yesterday with Paypal , and they shipped it out EMS today. Not sure if that helps or not for a time frame. .Cyacnba wrote:Why did I open this thread... I wonder if I will get one on time if I order one tomorrow...

Looks like you got the last 8.1! Do you know what the other upgrades are beyond the handle, knobs, and colored spool?domthewon wrote:That's where I got mine $250 w free shipping and they take Paypal or credit card.

Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
I'm a lefty, and I think they still have some. I believe the 8:1 righty is gone though. Honestly I'm not sure about additional upgrades. I haven't done any maintenance to my regular tatula sv tw, so when I get the new one I'll take it apart and check it out and post some pics. Probably do a few bearing upgrades as well.evilcatfish wrote:Looks like you got the last 8.1!

Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Tempted to track down an 8.1, but don't think I can pull the trigger until the pricing on the Megabass Rhodium comes out
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
I don't blame you, but haven't seen a Megabass reel retail under $300 yet but who knows. I actually like the looks and upgrades on the SLP personally, especially the black paint, deep purple parts, and carbon handle and knobs. We will see what mechanical upgrades they have that set them apart though. Either way their built on tatula sv's and decent little reels, and I'll be upgrading mine further. I'll post some pics of the internals of the standard Tatula sv and the SLP when I receive it.evilcatfish wrote:Tempted to track down an 8.1, but don't think I can pull the trigger until the pricing on the Megabass Rhodium comes out
Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Thank you. Fortunately (or unfortunately maybe), my fishing buddy convinced me not to buy another reel lol.domthewon wrote:I ordered mine yesterday with Paypal , and they shipped it out EMS today.

Re: Tatula sv tw SLP limited
Finally had the time to break these reels down and take some pics. Only a few differences from stock SV TW Tatulas. There is a brass drag lockdown nut in the SLP and, the stock is plastic. The SLP came with all 4 handle knob bearings and 1 of the level wind bearings. The stock had 2 handle knob bearings and no level wind bearings. I upgraded all bearings on both reels. I cleaned, greased, or oiled the existing good bearings. On the spool they looked to be identical to me. The SLP came with the black paint, 90 mm custom carbon fiber handle, custom knobs, purple SV spool, a gold T-wing compared to Silver on the Stock. Everything else is the same. I added a purple SLP works star drag, and handle knob caps to it as well. I think it's a pretty good deal for the price if you want a nicely upgraded tatula, or were planning on tuning one.
