A reliable travel fishing rod can be an invaluable item, allowing you to pack up and hit the best fishing spots with little hassle. Quality fishing rods come in a variety of shapes, sizes and strengths to provide you with flexible options. For example, freshwater travel fishing rods offer different levels of flex and strength than saltwater versions do. You can also pick out telescoping rods for a truly compact and portable option.

If youre in the market for a travel fishing rod, then youre likely already interested in convenience. The biggest distinction between these fishing rods is whether one is a telescoping rod or a non-telescoping rod. Telescoping rods have a tubular design that collapses for small and convenient storage. This option can save time and energy, as the rod remains intact and can quickly extend again when needed. Most other travel rods break apart into several pieces that must be re-assembled before use. Although this requires more time and energy, these rods do tend to be more durable over time.

If you plan to take your rod with you in a backpack or a suitcase, you need to know it will fit. The footprint of a travel rod refers to the size of the rod once you break it down or collapse it. In some cases, fishing rods come with a travel case that provides protection and convenient storage for your rod. Make sure to check the size of a rods footprint or its case to ensure you find one that will fit your needs.

As with any fishing rod, its important to find a travel rod that provides an appropriate amount of power. The choice ultimately depends on the type of line youll be using as well as on the type of fishing you prefer. If you plan to fish in water with heavy cover, youll need a heavier line and consequently a more powerful rod.

Action refers to the amount of bend in a rod when there is pressure on the tip. Slower action allows more of the rods length to bend, while faster rods primarily bend closer to the tip. A fast rod (or stiff rod) generally helps the rod load quickly, which means longer casts and faster casting. Rods with slower action are useful for repetitive roll-casting and for casting small flies for short distances. Ultimately, the choice between a fast rod and a slow one is a matter of personal preference, and it is worth experimenting with various designs to find one that suits your specific fishing style.

Daiwa Tatula Review

By: Author David Edwards

Posted on Last updated: September 28, 2022

The Daiwa Tatula was introduced into the marketplace in 2013 under a very creative marketing campaign called “Project T” and with it came three models.

The three different models share many of the same attributes, with the flagstone being the T-Wing Levelwind System or TWS as Daiwa refers to it, and the main differences being gearing ratios, bearings, and spool size.

In this review of the Daiwa Tatula 100, Daiwa Tatula Type-R and Tatula Type-HD, I will show you the differences between these models and why you will want to choose one over the other based on your particular style of fishing.

Here is the short answer to which model makes the most sense for you.

Tatula   100

The standard Tatual is the entry level to the Tatula series and is a very durable reel with great features including the T-Wing levelwind.  If you are doing more freshwater than saltwater fishing and are looking to save a few dollars then this is probably the reel for you.

Tatula Type-R

The Type-R is going to give you these additional features:

• 8 bearing system includes 2 corrosion resistant bearings (2CRBB + 5BB + 1RB)
• Super lightweight aluminum spool
• Zaion drag star
• 10 grams lighter
• Available in super fast 8.1:1 gear ratio

For the angler that is going to be fishing inshore and or has a need for a super fast retrieve option then this is the model you will want to go with.

Tatula Type-HD

The Type-HD is going to give you the same features of the Tatula and then the following:

• Extra long 100mm handle for more leverage
• 30% more line capacity

Saltwater anglers that are targeting larger species up to say 10 lbs will want to choose the Type-HD for its extra cranking power, larger handle, and extra line capacity.

T-Wing System (TWS) – Daiwa’s T-Wing System is unique and solves one of the common problems with baitcasting reels which is the friction that is usually caused by the level wind system.  With the unique design of TWS, the line is free to flow through the wide part of the top section when casting.

Once you start to retrieve the line, it slips into the lower groove and is then evenly distributed onto the reel.

Rugged, lightweight aluminum frame and side plate (gear side) – The Tatula has a very clean and precisely designed frame and sideplates that are both made of lightweight aluminum which leads to the overall reel weights of between 7.6 oz and 8.1 oz depending on the model.

Air Rotor – The air rotor not only weighs about 15% less than a traditional rotor but its design to also evenly distribute the stress across the Zaion carbonite composite material and thus accomplishes two goals, one is strength and the other is reduced weight.

Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag UTD –  All three of the Tatula models use what Daiwa refers to as the Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag system.  The UTD is comprised of oversized carbon fiber drag washers that are placed on either side of the spool and allow for even distribution of the force on the spool.

This design results in a smooth drag and during our testing, we did not have any experience with the drag catching or binding.

Magforce-Z cast control – Magforce-Z is what makes the castability of the Daiwa Tatula series of reels so great.  Daiwa’s unique magnetic braking system allows the spool to spin freely early on in the cast and then at just the right time it applies the magnets to start slowing the rotation of the spool to prevent back spoiling.

Backspooling is a common issue for many anglers, especially when just starting to use a baitcaster.  There is a dial adjustment on the sideplate that allows the user to dial in just the right amount of pressure depending on his or her personal preference, lure weight and experience.

8 Bearing System – The Tatula reels use what are called CRBB or Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings, these are specially treated stainless ball bearings that are designed to provide up to 12 times the normal life expectancy of steel ball bearings under harsh saltwater conditions. (Not on the Tatula Standard.)

Swept Power Handle – The Large, 90mm swept power handle with cutouts for reduced weight places the paddles closer to the center of the reel and rod which means that more energy from each crank of the handle is transferred directly to the reel and is not wasted unnecessarily, this results in more power when you retrieve.

The Tatula Type-HD offers a 100mm handle for even more cranking power.

Features at a Glance

• T-Wing System (TWS)
• Rugged, lightweight aluminum frame
• Air Rotation
• Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag UTD
• Magforce-Z cast control
• 5.4:1, 6.3:1, 7.3:1 & 8.1:1 gear ratios
• 8 Bearing System
• Infinite Anti-reverse
• Corrosion resistant clutch mechanism
• Large, 90mm swept power handle
• I-Shape handle knob

At the heart of the Tatula series of reels is the T-Wing or TWS system as Daiwa refers to it, so just what is this T-Wing System?  With most baitcasting reels there is a common problem which is how do you get your line back onto the spool evenly.

Different manufacturers have come up with different solutions with the most common one being what is referred to as the level wind system.

Most level wind systems incorporate a winding mechanism that moves horizontally back and forth across the spool to distribute the line evenly.  The line typically passed through a small guide hole and this can cause friction on the line when you cast the reel.

Daiwa has come up with a very ingenious method called the T-Wing that allows the line to move side to side in the top of the T part of the guide, this allows the line to play off the reel smoothly with almost no friction.

Once the clutch is engaged the line drops down into the lower part of the T guide and is directed back and forth across the spool to wind evenly.  (See Diagram Above)

Specifications

There are three models of the daiwa tatula here are the specifications., daiwa tatula 100 specifications, daiwa tatula type-r specifications, daiwa tatula type-hd specifications.

Ergonomically the reel fits very nicely in the palm of your hand and should deliver a stress-free experience after many hours of fishing.  If you choose the HD model then you will have to take into account that it is going to be slightly heavier than comparable models such as the Abu Garcia Revo SX or the Shimano Curado 70 or Shimano Curado I  but it is going to give you more line capacity for fighting those larger fish.

When it comes to retrieval rates, the Tatula gives you many different choices with gear ratios between 5.4:1 and  8.1:1, so you are covered for many different fishing scenarios.  The oversized 90mm handle on the Tatula and Tatula Type-R and the 100mm handle on the Tatula Type-HD give you extra cranking power to muscle in those larger fish.

Daiwa changed out the knobs on the Tatula to a flatter paddle style that you might be familiar with if you have ever fished Shimano baitcasters, personally, I like the new knobs quite a bit.

• Corrosion resistant
• Magnetic braking

Alternatives

There are two reels that I think you should take a look at.  The first is the Shimano Curado 70 if you are gong to be targeting smaller species such as spotted seatrout. The reel is lightweight and has a slightly greater retrieve rate than the Shimano Curado I. Read the full  Shimano Curado 70 review HERE .

If you are targeting slightly larger species such as Snook and Redfish then the Curado I with the extra drag and spool size might be a better choice for you.  Read the full  Shimano Curado I review HERE .

In Conclusion

With a total of 7 different configurations (not counting left vs right retrieve), the Tatula series of reels for Daiwa can cover a very wide range of angling applications.  These reels are priced and compete in the main segment of the baitcasting market and offer you a good solution for almost any type of fishing situation you might find yourself in.

The reels are very solid when it comes to quality and durability.  In our tests, we were pleased with the performance of the three configurations we took into the field and really had nothing negative to say about them other than they were slightly heavier than we would traditionally expect from Daiwa.

The bottom line is that all three of the models offer something to be desired, which you will have to decipher based on the style of fishing you intend to use the reel for.  We are confident that all will hold up over time which has been our experience with other Daiwa products.

Performance: The Tatula TAT721 charted out in the lab similar in power to our Creature Feature baseline rod, the G.Loomis MBR844C GLX meaning that even though there's really no industry standard, this stick is basically what we'd expect from a heavy powered rod.

Casting: Matched with a Daiwa Exceler for testing duties, the TAT721 demonstrated very good casting performance. The tip loads very predictably and can comfortably handle baits within its recommended lure rating. It's really fun pitching half ounce jigs with this stick.

Sensitivity: Daiwa's SVF Bias blanks have always performed well overall in my hands, but if there's one area of complaint I've had with the Steez rods in particular, it's that they're not sensitive enough for their price point. I've not felt that way about the Zillion rods.

The Tatula sticks are priced even more attractively than that of the Zillions, but with their unsanded blanks, they remind me of the Steez rods. In fact, other than the balance of the rod and the components with which it is built including the reel seat and handle, I might be hard pressed to distinguish the blank on this Tatula rod from that of a non-Compile-X Steez - especially in the area of sensitivity.

That's either bad news for the Steez rods or great news for the Tatula or both, but I was more than happy with what I could feel dragging a jig along the bottom of Clear Lake with this rod.

Power: Weighing in at a mere four ounces for a stick rated at heavy power, it's easy to take for granted the backbone this rod possesses. The TAT721HFB rated out on our RoD WRACK as a stick similar in power to the MBR844C GLX - another deceivingly powerful stick - and it fishes to this power out on the water as well. There's more than enough backbone in this rod to set the hook and control your catch to the boat through a mix of cover situations.

Features: Daiwa spared little expense filling up the features checklist on their Tatula casting rods. In addition to a split rear grip made of EVA foam, this rod benefits from the following features:

Daiwa’s Tatula Elite Spinning Rods Review

The result of this is, those who are on a more modest budget can now acquire top quality gear that simply was not available in these price ranges in the not too distant past.

We obtained the new Daiwa Tatula Elite Spinning rod to mate with the Tatula LT Spinning Reel. The specific model we’ll be reviewing is the TAEL701MLFS. This rod is the 7’ Med Lt Meyer. It’s lure rating is 1/16-3/8 with a line rating of 4-10. A finesse rod for sure.

It has the same cosmetics as all other Tatula Elite rods whether they are casting or spinning models. The two tone glossy grey finished blanks, thread wraps, split EVA foam grip, rear grip and foregrip and the Fuji reel seat.

This rod uses Daiwa’s SVF (Super-high Volume Fiber) Nano-Plus technology with X45 carbon fiber materials, Fuji Alconite ring guides fitted with Alconite inserts and comes with a Limited 5-year warranty.

Designed by experts

This particular rod was designed with input from Cody Meyer who is well known for his ability with finesse presentations such as drop-shotting, shakey head fishing etc. A west coast angler, Cody is well versed with using diminutive lures and light line to catch finicky bass.

We spooled our Tatula LT with #8 line to begin our testing with various small, light weight baits of all kinds. We decided to start with some neko rigged worms to get a feel for how sensitive the rod is with bottom oriented lures.

We have not been disappointed in the least. The Tatula rod transmits vibrations very well so that you can feel when your bait is at rest, makes contact with various objects on the lake floor and most importantly, bites. Subtle, crushing or anything in between, you feel it.

Setting the hook is when you see how strong the blank really is. Even on big fish the set is sure, quick and requires very little effort. The action is a joy to fight a fish with in that the tip is so forgiving while the blank transitions seamlessly into its backbone to supply the angler with plenty of power to handle fish of all sizes.

How strong can it be?

We’ve had to put some serious pressure on big fish in grass to get them out with this rod. It hasn’t been a concern other than the thought that we might just snap the line given how hard we’ve had to pull to get them out of the grass.

We’ve experimented with everything but the kitchen sink in lures both soft and hard. Most within the recommended range but, as usual, some well outside that range to see how far we could push the rod. Here again, our biggest issue became wondering whether or not we were going to snap the line as the rod has handled everything including over 1/2 ounce without issue.

The Tatula Elite Spinning Rod is wonderfully balanced with the Tatula LT. It is a pleasure to fish all day. It doesn’t fatigue you thanks to that balance and its light weight.

The butt section of this rod is another area that we find to be just right. Some sticks of this length have a much longer rear grip. In most cases, we prefer a length that doesn’t quite reach your elbow as this allows more freedom of movement for working things like jerkbaits, small top-water plugs, shakey heads etc.

When you’re using those type of lures, if the rear grip is so long that it makes contact with the inside of your elbow every time you pop the rod tip, it can go from frustrating to down right irritating. The TAEL701MLFS gives you more than enough room to work lures as aggressively as you want while also providing plenty of butt to anchor against your forearm to effeciently fight those big fish.

This particular model has the standard guides which have proven to be very responsive and sensitive but for those who want a more customized version, these rods are also available with AGS guides. While the standard models retail for $179, the models equipped with AGS start at $279.

In our opinion, you can’t go wrong with either model. The design, workmanship, actions and aesthetics are quality throughout.

If there is any negative in this rod, the only thing that we don’t particularly care for is the placement of the hook keeper. It is located just ahead of the butt section on the rear grip on the underside of the blank. We would prefer that it be repositioned, as unorthodox as this might sound, just ahead of the foregrip.

It just gets a little uncomfortable when carrying or reaching for the rod to feel the line next to the handle. But that might be nit picking on our part. You be the judge.

In the end, this spinning rod, with all that it offers the angler, is more than fairly priced with actions that are well honed for specific techniques yet offering flexibility at the same time.

See ya’ on the water …

The Daiwa Tatula Spinning Rod is a high-performance rod that quickly garnered the attention of experienced bass anglers– even if it’s not quite a professional-grade bass rod.

That said, this versatile spinning rod provides more than a refined technique in bass angling with a spinning set-up capable of employing more than one lure action effectively.

With a fantastic blank employing maximum performance design techniques generally found on more expensive rod blanks, the Tatula series rods offers a blank with plenty of backbone.

That said, at a medium price range, this review examines whether or not the awesome, all-around blank and excellent guides are worth the fishing gear investment or if you’re better off opting for a general-purpose bass rod at a bargain price.

• X-45 Concept Blanks
• Fuji Fazelite guide system
• Extremely ergonomic design
• Not a budget-friendly option
• Iffy reel seat
• More for bass fishing

Construction (craftsmanship, make quality)

The real value of the Tatula series rods crops up in their powerful blanks that employ manufacturing techniques often found on more expensive fishing poles .

The Tatula X-45 Blanks use a high-end manufacturing process called Braiding-X Fiber Braiding Technology that sees the graphite fibers wrapped at an alternating 45-degree bias.

This design approach not only eliminates bulky tubes and significantly reduces the amount of graphite needed, but it also helps limit blank twist while still providing a blank with plenty of backbone.

This design results in a stiffer blank, but the wrap of braid with graphite fibers allow you to target larger fish– even through heavy cover– without having to worry about cracking or breaking the stout blank.

Even better, Daiwa employs an SVF, or Super Volume Fiber, manufacturing process that uses nano resin particles to reduce the amount of resin applied and thus reduce the weight, ensuring a sensitive blank.

On top of that, this process also increases the graphite density of the rod blanks, further reinforcing the blank with plenty of backbone and ensuring its use as a durable choice.

Keep in mind that you generally find many of these manufacturing techniques used on expensive options made in Japan.

The fact that you get maximum performance at a relatively affordable price is just icing on the cake.

It also doesn’t hurt that this fishing pole comes with a solid hook keeper

Moving through this versatile spinning rod from the sensitive blank to the solid all-round performance guide quality, the Fuji Fazelite guide system uses a double-foot K-series.

While the Fazelite material is interesting in its own right, the inclusion of high-end performance K-series guides significantly reduces the incidence of line tangles.

The split handle design further boosts the blank quality by allowing you to better feel the slightest vibrations.

This solid choice makes the Tatula a tough competitor in the general-purpose bass rod market.

The Tatula pretty much utilizes exclusively quality materials for the entirety of this pole increasing not only the blank quality but every other high-performance component as well.

For starters, the Super Volume Fibers make another appearance with high-modulus graphite, offering a solid price-to-performance ratio without sacrificing blank quality.

The SVF resin is also worth its own mention given that it allows a tighter wrap of braid with the graphite and is not necessarily a given on a somewhat affordable option like this.

It’s also heavily responsible for providing some of the models with medium-heavy power without having to worry about the blank coming in bulky tubes.

Moving on from the fantastic blank, the Daiwa also spares no expense with its Fuji Fazelite guide system that further expands this pole as a sensitive spinning rod.

While not quite the ceramic Alconite found with other premium components, this modified aluminum-oxide blend performs nearly as well as those inserts.

Unlike older models that came with a split EVA foam handle, this general-purpose bass rod opts for primary handle materials made of premium cork.

The excellent handles of this high-performance rod only cement it as a great spinning set-up for all types of bass anglers.

This general-purpose bass rod doesn’t offer a wide range of actions with only fast and extra-fast available.

This approach introduces something of a trade-off where you lose a bit of potential casting distance but more than make up for that consequence with increased casting control .

On top of that, the quicker actions help boost the touch of this already somewhat sensitive blank.

The ever-popular medium-heavy, fast action blanks make adoption among bass anglers that much easier due to the solid hookset with a variety of lures from light lures to heavy lures.

Even better, the different spec configs contribute to the Tatula being a versatile spinning rod that can use one lure action or another with a broad range of lures.

This is one of the areas where Tatula’s powerful blanks are on full display as the stiffer blank ensures that you don’t have to worry about a strong backbone after engaging the general-duty bass rod’s solid hookset.

This approach allows you to use a wide variety of lures from light lures to heavy lures and all lure weights in between.

Even though this rod tops out with a medium-heavy blank, most fishermen agree that the entire series of rods offers more backbone than you might expect.

As such even if you opt for a lower power rating than the strongest medium-heavy blank, the Tatula will tend to function as a slightly heavier powered model than most of the comparable competition.

And while this lineup carries models with a lighter power than the top medium-heavy power options, none of them even dip into a proper medium-light power rating.

That said, as a general-purpose bass rod, the medium-heavy, fast action blanks serve as excellent bass rods that afford a stout blank with plenty of backbone for your growing bass arsenal.

In terms of quality, the Tatula offers high-grade components that see its guide quality sit well above average– even if it’s not quite “the best.” Still, the Fuji Fazelite quality guides enhance numerous features like improving casting control with a buttery smooth, modified aluminum oxide insert encased in a K-series ring.

Not only does this choice reduce the number of tangles you’ll have to deal with, but it also allows the modestly sensitive blank to reinforce that touch, leading to a surprisingly sensitive spinning rod.

However, one of the best qualities of this approach involves the guide system’s ability to cast even the strongest braids without worrying about it slicing through the rings or popping out the inserts.

Handle (material, shape, etc)

Whereas earlier models opted for a split EVA foam handle, the modern version still comes with excellent handles, but the primary handle materials now favor cork.

The natural cork handle uses a split handle design that tends to work the best with virtually any spinning set-up by balancing control over your spinning reel with sensitivity.

Uses (Who is this good for)

Billed as excellent bass rods from the beginning, Daiwa saw rapid adoption among bass anglers for these dedicated bass rods as part of a standard spinning set-up.

Of course, experienced bass anglers waited to see if the pitching technique in bass angling performed as well with a variety of lures and lure weights before jumping on the bandwagon.

Of course, with the ability to handle the strongest braids and afford some of the best hookset certainty with a strong backbone, it wasn’t long before real competitors recognized a solid choice with top-tier blank quality.

Fast-forward a few years and this spinning set-up is almost expected to be one of the dedicated bass rods in any serious bass arsenal.

It’s worth remembering that because this top-quality rod doesn’t come in at a bargain price, it might not be the best option for beginners– especially if they haven’t yet been bitten by the bug.

However, once a fisherman moves from the beginner to the intermediate level, this series of rods offers top-notch performance at a reasonably affordable price.

Reel and Real Seat Compatibility

In terms of quality, not everyone loves the FUJI PTS reel seat that comes with the Tatula, even if it is a durable choice.

The main issue seems to be the reel seat’s bulk which often loses out when compared to a tough competitor with a sleeker profile.

That said, you should have no issue with slop or wiggle with pretty much any spinning reel.

Still, real competitors may pine a bit for the reel seats included with the Tatula Elite Spinning Rod, though these designs can see a bit of variation with the hook keeper.

Conclusion (Wrap Up)

The Daiwa Tatula Spinning Rod offers a large collection of bass rods that hit the sweet spot between top-notch performance and an affordable price– though it’s by no means a budget-friendly option.

That said it’s still an affordable option with a medium price range, though is not really part of a professional collection like the Tatula Elite Spinning Rod or other expensive options.

Still, the Tatula spinning set-up is a quality rod with high-end performance thanks to high-quality materials and a great all-around blank with top-quality guides.

So, if you need solid all-around performance, able to use a variety of lures for an impressive general-duty bass rod, the Tatula Spinning Rod hits all the right notes in the price-to-performance ratio.

Daiwa Tatula 100 Baitcaster Review

Jason sealock.

• Sep 29, 2019

The new Daiwa Tatula 100 Baitcasters offer a smaller frame, lighter weight and improved performance in the improved versions of the original Tatula line. I’ve been fishing with these reels for a bit and have found that they offer anglers a solid reel at the mid-tier price point. Here are some additional details on this new line-up of baitcasters from Daiwa.

You can find the Daiwa Tatula 100 at the following retailers:

• Discount Tackle
• Walmart.com
• Tackle Warehouse
• Bass Pro Shops

Awesome Aesthetics

Daiwa has always made a great looking baitcaster, but the frame and finish on the Tatula 100 series for 2019 really shows off their attention to detail and gives anglers a reel to be proud to own and fish. The sleek detailing and lines really accent how light and tight this reel feels and fishes. Every edge and part exudes quality.

Lighter weight

The aluminum frame gives this reel a solid foundation and the bodyweight is greatly reduced from handle to spool. The reel only weighs an impressive 6.9 ounces considering it has a full aluminum frame. It feels very solid and tight on the cast and retrieve. 

The T-Wing system gives this reel its long distance casting and smooth line management that anglers have come to love in the Tatula series of reels. 

New tension adjustments

The new tension knob is very snug and allows for precision adjustments that won’t slip or change as you fish. I found that it can be a little tricky to get it fine tuned the first time if you have big hands like me, but that’s because it is so tight and compact on the frame. 

Once you get the weight of the lure dialed on the tension knob, you can let it rip without worry of anything changing or worrying with caps coming off if you’re someone that likes to just back the tension off and use your thumb like me. 

Better thumbar control

The thumb bar system is upgrade and seems a lot more smooth and tight. I like that because I think a tight thumb bar keeps a reel quieter over the life of the reel. It’s very smooth to operate on the cast and engages quietly on the retrieve. 

I think small details like this are a lot of what makes this an improved experience with this version of the Tatula baitcasters. 

Smaller, easier to palm

These Daiwa Tatula 100 reels are a smaller form factor and fit so nicely in the palm of your hand. That leads to longer fishing with less fatigue over the life of fishing with this reel. It also has a lot to do with casting accuracy that most anglers don’t realize. You can roll cast a lot tighter with more precision if your wrist and hand aren’t flexing as much because they are opened wider on a bigger reel. 

Great braking

The braking on this new Daiwa Tatula seems improved as well. It may not have much change in terms of engineering but it seems to handle small baits very well. I have been fishing 1/4 ounce swimbaits on it this summer on 12-pound line and catching a lot of fish on windy days around docks where I have to put a small lure in a tight spot without having an overrun stop me from immediately winding the lure. 

Great with a variety of lures

I’ve cranked and thrown swimbaits with the 6.3:1 Daiwa Tatula 100. I’ve flipped and pitched with the 8:1 Tatula and cast chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, worms and jigs on the 7:1 Tatula. I know this has become the staple reel for most of the Daiwa pros on tour this year and I see why now. It does really well with light lures and all of the conventional bass fishing techniques.

If you liked the original Daiwa Tatula line, you’ll find these smaller, tighter, lighter Tatula 100s more appealing. I really like it on the 7-foot, 3-inch MH Daiwa Tatula Rod. It’s been a great all-purpose setup for so many bass fishing applications. I take it on trips and it’s always on the deck now.
