I am thinking of buying one of these 2 reels to use for frog fishing. I am not sure which would be the better.If anyone uses one of these reels for frog fishing I welcome your thoughts on your reel.

I have never used the DC but I do use the Tatula for frog fishing. It handles braid great, great casting and I haven't found a frog I couldn't cast with it.

Both would be great. Given the price difference the Tatula Type R may offer better value. I prefer the palaming of my Exscence DC. The casting distance is a bit better and overall a more fun reel to use with the brake modes and DC wine. I just ordered a 2nd Exscence DC. The price is very reasonable and the amount of reels left new seem to me drying up. What I mean is that Digitaka notes various descriptions in their inventory. Initially a few weeks ago they noted in stock, then quantity a few, and now I believe it's says a few but ask us in advance. This is for the RH model. A few other Japanese vendors have been out for a while. Guessing there aren't many left. For a Chronarch D on steroids probably should act fast where the Tatula Type R will be around for a while.

I use my Exsence DC for frog fishing and it's a great reel for this technique. Long casts and more than enough power to horse them out of cover.
