Anyone out there throwing the Daiwa Tatula 7'3" Swimbait rod? It's rated to 4oz and has a regular action. I'll be wanting to use it with S-Waver 168, 6" Magdrafts with 3/4oz belly hook, 6.8" Kietech with 3/8 or 3/4oz belly hook. So basically swim baiting, but not really big ones. Most of the baits I'll be using are in the 1.5-2 1/4oz baits.Will this rod be able to go up to S-Waver 200 or some of the mid size swimbaits out there.

Don't have it but man these 2023 Tatula rods the reel seat is by far the most comfortable I've ever felt.

Buddy has this rod and I have fished it. It is super tight in hand and feels awesome to fish for long periods of time.
The 4oz rating is wildly high. It is more like 2.5oz and so you should be right in the sweet spot.
I threw Freestyle Mag on it and it was money. Threw a glide and it handled that even better as it is softer than you'd expect.
