I got a couple Tatula CT's in the mail. They came with Diawa steez neoprene reel covers. I've never used a reel cover before and can't figure out how to use them. Can someone help me, possibly with a pic?

Ahhhhhh. Thank you guys!!! I was lost. Another quick question, it seems pretty tight where the star drag and handle nut are. Is that fairly normal? It seems like it's going to wear through the neoprene rather quickly.

pull the cover a little more snug over the side plate before wrapping it around the handle side. both steez covers I have are on steez' reels so the fit is pretty spot on while on a rod. The tatula CT is a larger framed reel than the steez so if it's a but more snug, that would be normal. It will be fine. They are very good quality covers.

I just got my tatula CT as well, do you have any trouble putting the side plate back on after removing it?

No. I loosened the screw, pushed the front of the cover down and out, then reversed it on a completely loose spool tension knob setting. It went right on. Are you the member who started a thread on the side plate? Did you not get it to work?
