Not sure how to be excited about their offerings when all their baitcasters look the same. Extremely minimal changes in the frames *some times* and maybe different handles/knobs that look worse than what you'd get from ebay for $10-20. No thank you. Sticking with Daiwa until all their reels are just Tatulas made in Thailand.

Not sure what is different at Daiwa, and I haven't sold my soul to any corporation yet.

I got pof'ed at Abu's slipping drag on spinning reels lately and got 2 Daiwa Tatula 2500. I am underly impressed with those 2 reel's drag. From what I heard Abu solved their drag issues so that is an open option next time I feel like playing with my credit card online :-)

Still have to pay a bit more to get that lite frame and good drag with any brand I guess.

I've got several Daiwa, including the Tatula. Some cheaper, some more expensive. Drag has been flawless on all of them.
