Daiwa Tatula Type R Question

Featured Replies

Does the spool tension knob have a micro click when adjusting tension?

 

TT review for the reel doesn't say if it does, just the star drag has micro click adjustment.

nope it does not...

Oh now that's  a bummer! My 3 Zillions  have micro click tension knob.

If you would like a Tatula with a micro-click tension knob, buy the new Zillion.  :laugh5:

No micro click and its very tiny. My particular reels CC is very stiff. You can get a bigger, better looking CC from hedgehog studios though

The above is showing a micro tension knob for Tatula R, what is the Hedgehog part number?

That is the L mechanical brake knob from Hedgehog Studios. It comes with washers to make it work properly on the Tatula. However it will not enable the tatula to click. The reel doesn't have the required parts from the factory. It's just eye candy for $30

Thank you for the detailed reply, if it's not functional it's not worth $30 for me, I have 3.Tatula R's.

Interesting site!

So far I haven't had to worry much about it with my Tatula, that thing casts like a beast right out of the box. No backlashes, period , no matter how I cast it our set it. It's like autopilot...pretty sweet. There are a lot of reels that I won't mention that aren't like that at all at a higher price point. I'm becoming a convert for sure. Also, the Zillions are priced considerably higher than the Tatula. I'm sure they are awesome .If you want to spend money to hear that click no one would stop you but I don't find it necessary for my fishing.
