Hey guys,

I recently purchased the Diawa Tatula type R 100 with the 8.0.1 ratio.

i was under the impression this would have a high IPT... it only has a 31 IPT...

i have the Abu revo SX in the 7.1 and that has an IPT of 29...

what im getting at is I thought I would've gotten much more IPT in getting something with an 8 gear ratio... but he difference was only 2 inches..

i noticed some higher priced reels in an 8 or even 9 gear ratio have high IPT.. but the prices are super high!!

is there anything in the 150-200$ range with a high IPT??

wanna get something with very high IPT for pitching and get my bait back gas for more pitches!! I mean but maybe 31" is sufficient enough? Will I really notice a 2" difference??

 

thanks!

 

You might wanna cross reference your information. The tatula type R 100 XS/XSL 8:1:1 has an ipt of 33.9"

Really?? Does it? From the info I found online it said 31".... do u have a link where I can see those specs please?

From Daiwa U.S. site:

TYPE-R HYPER SPEED LEFT HAND WINDING BAITCASTING REELS

Model Number	Action FW / SW	Bearings	Gear Ratio	Line Per Handle Turn	Wt. (oz.)	Line Capacity (Lb. Test / Yards)	Drag Max
TATULA-R100XSL	M / L	2CRBB, 5BB, 1RB	8.1:1	33.9	7.6	MONO: 14/120, 16/100 BRAID: 40/140, 55/105	13.2

 

Can't overlook the second half of the I.P.T. equation, spool diameter,  you need both to have a reel with high I.P.T.

Daiwa Lexa 400 HSL (7:1) has 37.7 IPT

Would I be able to change spools to change IPT? Any info on that?

like can I change the spool on my Abu revo sx to make the IPT higher?

Common sense says no.  You can put a smaller diameter spool in your reel, but not a larger diameter spool.

That's the forum i was talking about... tackletour seems to test reels out for what they really are.. The IPT on that website says 31"

nevermind i see what u mean.. the type R " Hyper Speedf" is different.. and has the higer IPT.. that is what i have! awesome

thanks for the direction!

Not to get too technical IPT is based on circumference, larger diameter spool has longer circumference. Faster gear ratio spins the spool more times with each handle turn; 8 to 1 means the spool spins 8 times for each handle turn.

The IPT that reel mfr's list is based on a full spool of line, as the line comes off the reel the spooled line diameter gets  smaller, the circumference is shorter, the IPT is reduced. 

IF you want maximum IPT the spooled line must be full!

Ipt is measured at full spool so, no changing spools won't affect ipt

you should of bought a Revo Rocket  , IPT of 37'' ...

My Lew's SuperDuty has 35IPT and it's $180
