How is the Diawa Tatula as an overall casting rig?

 

My father seen the rod and really seemed to like it, however it is made of material different from most rods.

Right at the top of the 1st page.

Nobody is trying to seem unfriendly or anything but just about every thing you'd ever want to know can be found through a quick search. Good rods, and a lot of people really like them. Just a heads up but it's made from graphite. That's what all rods are made from these days,except glass ones.

Sure, but the rod itself is rigid almost like it was corrugated or something, and I am more looking for a user review on the quality really than anything else.

They are a very well built rod and is a pleasure to use. The "corrugated" feeling is what's called an unfinished/unsanded blank. As to how "rigid" the rod felt to you would depend on the rod rating you had looked at. I have the 7'medium action, and it's a great soft plastics rod. I have also used it for rattle traps and smaller crankbaits, too.

I have a 7' ML-R and a 6'10" MH-F. I like both. They are light, crisp and sensitive; performing well above their price range.

I have 4 and they are great rods for the money

They seem very light just handling them and I really like the reel seat.

I have the 6'10" MH-F and love it.

i have 2 of these models and love them.  that rough feel and look you mentioned do not bother me or the fish. 

I have the 7'4" Heavy for frogs and I love it. I did break one once on undoubtedly a 10 lb. Guntersville hog but Daiwa sent me a new one and its been great.
