Tacklewarehouse says it has Magforce Z. In the picks you can see it does not have a super deep spool.LowRange wrote:joekaz wrote:I read that the reel has Magforce Z.

Was not impressed with the performance of the original deep spool. Between lack of "Z", and heavy spool when filled, I found the reel lacked good control when casting for distance. Difficult to consistently achieve good distance, and backlash prone.

The new 150 is a Magforce reel with a fixed inductor. This much we know. It is unknown if the spool is the same diameter as the older tat 100 only deeper and fixed inductor or if it has a larger diameter spool like the tat 200. In the case of the 150 having the same diameter spool as the tat 100 but only deeper and fixed inductor one could potentially swap in a tat 100 spool to have a Magforce Z reel. You would do this for cool looking paint on the reel vs a regular Tatula 100. To make things even more confusing, you can convert the Tatula 200 to a Magforce Z reel as well. You would need a spool from a Tatula 153 to do this because both the tat 153 and 200 have a larger diameter spool than the tat 100.
Re: New Tatula 150
You're right. The pic on Daiwa's site made it look deeper then it was. It's definitely a Magforce Z reel. It most likely has a larger diameter spool to increase the line capacty. I wonder if this reel is the USDM variant of the Tatula 153.joekaz wrote:Tacklewarehouse says it has Magforce Z.

Re: New Tatula 150
After much searching, the US model might be different from the Japan release. Found a few references that call out that it is Magforce Z. And pics look like it's not a deep spool.
Just would be nice if Daiwa's own web site called out that it's "Z".

Re: New Tatula 150
I wonder if the frame is going to be a little wider.

Re: New Tatula 150
Tatula 150 US is not the same as US 100 or Japan 150.
Line capacity of 16lb/125 yd looks same for both 150 spools. But one is a 34 mm diam (US), and other is 36mm (Japan).

Re: New Tatula 150
Then why is the reel called a 150 and not a 100? Tacklewarehouse has it listed as 16lb./125 yd. Something must be different. Either the spool is a little deeper or the reel is a little wider.diehardbassfishing wrote:Looks like the US 150 has the Tatula 100 spool.
Line capacity of 16lb/100 yd spec is same for both spools.
So, Mag Z it is...

Re: New Tatula 150
Daiwa calls it out as 16/100 here:
http://www.daiwa.com/us/contents/reels/ ... index.html
But, yes that would make sense to have the new reel, 150 "size", be a bit larger spool.

Re: New Tatula 150
Looks like info on the US 150 is incorrect. Follow through post for correct info.

Re: New Tatula 150
Curious if these new Tatula 150 reels share the same gear sets with previous Tatulas. I would like a 6.3 in lefty.

Here's a photo of the "original" Tatula, the new Tatula 150, and the Tatula CT... we have all the new 150's in stock and shipping.

Re: New Tatula 150
Possible to measure spool diameter on the new Tatula 150? Curious to know if it is 34 or 36mm.
Thanks,
Karl

Re: New Tatula 150
So just to make sure again... It doesn't fit in the Tatula HD right? I really don't want to sell mine because they've been on sale so long, but just really wish I had a Curado K or Tatula CT-R in a 6 speed rather than the 7.3HD for cranking. There is a 153 spool, but its like 80 bones.bronzefly wrote:34mm
