Daiwa 20 HRF TW PE Special
Daiwa 20 HRF TW PE Special
New HRF this time based on the Tatula 100. It is a PE line reel with a distance tuned Magforce Z spool. I always liked the looks of the old Tatula based HRF with the bright red and black paint. This new one is more of a crimson red. Looks a lot like a Type R Tatula 100.
Features:
High speed level wind
Upgraded clutch?
Aluminium handle side plate
New spool

Re: Daiwa 20 HRF TW PE Special
Reel arrived today- Spooled it up with 20# Fireline Ultra 8 and put it on a Kuying Leadership.
Throwing 1/4 spoon 100' was quite easy and it feels smooth. Beautiful crimson red with black palm plate which looks goofy- wish they would have gone crimson on entire reel.
Selling point for me was the longer handle and built in drag clicker which adds $30 to every reel I buy as I have it in all my collection.
Anyone have this and the Coastal? Just curious on how they compare.
Coastal will be next purchase.

1/4 oz is about max for the leadership isn't it? Why only 100 feet? I can use my leadership to cast way lighter baits way further. I think the heavy spool of the HRF TW PE is the culprit.

Yes 1/4 oz is the max on the leadership.
Im sure it will be easier and much more efficient with thinner line. The Fireline Ultra 8 is extremely thick braid. I will spool it up tomorrow with smaller line and throw it on a better rod for further testing in the field!

Re: Daiwa 20 HRF TW PE Special
Took it out again with same setup and measured my casts- Averaged 121' with mag on 8 with no problems- backing it down to 6 led to heavy fluffing throughout the cast and it did not end well.
I bought the reel for throwing 2/5-2/3 oz spoons for steelhead but just had to see what it would do with lighter weight....

Re: Daiwa 20 HRF TW PE Special
Still have the reel and love it but it has gone geary on me. Anyone know what gears I can replace them with?
