T3 Versus T3 Ballistic Versus Tatula
It makes a GREAT pitching reel as you can pitch and engage with one hand on the fly with the Hood..

T3 Versus T3 Ballistic Versus Tatula
No, because of the heavier spools used in the Tatulas...The T3 spool is a casting machine especially dropped into a TDZ..

Froggin/punchin Versatile Rod
I'll second the 736 for sure.. PLENTY of backbone and a soft enough tip for punching and frogging.. It's also a really well balanced rod for its heavy action..

Lol yup! I know a thing or 2 about reels.. The pixy might be getting moved to verticle baits when the Tatula type R gets here for frogging.. Pixy is a beast... Lol To answer kicker fish.. Every reel has some sort of upgraded bearings from ZPI, Boca 7s or Boca ceramic 9s, carbontex and most have carbon handles.. Used to have a set of full ceramics but they were NOT worth the hefty price..

Reel Ratio Question
I'd use it for verticle baits over horizontal baits..
-
Reel Line Rating?
yea you can pretty much dump whatever line on to most reels.. Heck Im using LFT flouro hybrid pro 20/30lb on my Pixy PX68 for pitching beavers without issues..

Duckett Casting Reels
Thats better if made in Korea as it does look like a Hybrid Revo/Lews, which are both solid reels.. Lews has stepped up and made a great reel for the money.. I dont care how good or bad it is as I wont touch the reel, Only to Tune them up for customers.. If the reel holds up it should be a solid seller for Duckett..

T3 Versus T3 Ballistic Versus Tatula
Ive had all 3 and still have my T3... It makes one killer pitching reel as you can make the pitch and engage the reel from the hood without using both hands..Quicker when the fish takes the bait on the fall. Its also a great casting reel and lighter then the other 2.. I think Ill be buying atleast 1 or 2 more just to have backups of..
-
Chronarch 50E Or Tatula R
out of those 2 go with the 50 reel OR get a Daiwa Alphas...
-
Reel Grease/oil

Thanks To The Majority Of You........
ive worked on a bunch of them and they seem like nice reels for the money.. Good luck with it as you can upgrade if needed bearings ETC...
-
Stock Vs Clean Reel Video
yup it works! ALWAYS good to clean a brand new reel as they just dump oil and grease from factory is some reels(shimano more so then Daiwas) from my experiance.. Lexa is a solid reel and you would love the tatula..
