Backlash proof reel
Wanting to get wife a new reel for Christmas. She does fine with her chronarchs but sometime struggles in the wind and lighter baits. Throws mostly T-rigs but small shakeyheads can be tough. Thinking maybe a JDM Metanium dc or one of the Daiwa Zillions.
She uses a Loomis NRX 803 and a new GLX 782 and 783. What you guys think.

An SV spooled Daiwa. Nice control and handles the wind great without getting robbed for distance.

Re: Backlash proof reel
Most Daiwa SV reels. I haven't used the Steez, but the rest are very user friendly.

Re: Backlash proof reel
Thanks for the replies,much difference between the Zillion and Tatula?
Re: Backlash proof reel
Any DC reel will be nice! Of course smallest ones,-Cardiff(if you find),KK50,Scorpion17(same brakes on Met15DC),or Met DC...

Re: Backlash proof reel
I own both. The Tatula is more user friendly. The Zillion casts further and is a little more free.Steve petty wrote:Thanks for the replies,much difference between the Zillion and Tatula?

Why do you say more user friendly?

Another note is that ithe can be had cheaper than the Zillion SV while being about 85% of what the Zillion is.

Re: Backlash proof reel
This is true, I was all about the lighter spool though and the features of the Zillion (even though they are by no means critical) so I have 2 Zillion SV TW and could possibly go for a 3rd. My wife has NO problem using the Zillion SV and she started on an SS/SV to practice. I totally understand why most would recommend the Tatula SV, and you can't go wrong with either.ccass wrote:Harder to backlash.Steve petty wrote:Why do you say more user friendly?

Re: Backlash proof reel
Been Shimano for 25 years,never thought I would buy Daiwa! Bought the cheap Tatula about a month ago,that thing bombs cranks and top Water,pretty much unbacklashable. That’s the reason I asked about the Daiwa. Wanted you guys to say Shimano! Lol!!!

The Tatula SV TW was reviewed by TackleTour and won the Editor's Choice Award.Steve petty wrote:Thanks for the replies,much difference between the Zillion and Tatula?
Here's one of the comments:
My initial thoughts on the SV TWS reel the second I unboxed it was just how attractive the new baitcaster was. Other CT reels look utilitarian in comparison to the SV TW and it is clear that Daiwa put some extra effort into trying to differentiate this Tatula from the rest of the lineup. It looks more “Zillion” than it does “Tatula.”

My take....The Tatula SV TW lists for $199.99, BUT I have bought them off dealers on eBay for $133.
I have Zillions SV TW and some Tatulas SV TW, and I really don't notice much difference.
It's a great value.
Re: Backlash proof reel
SV TW For $133 ... ; Tough to beat at that price.
