Anyone used or heard about the Daiwa Tatula Elite Rods? ($180). Was looking into a new soft plastics rod, but the tatula line($150) had regular actions, and I prefer a little faster action. Then I saw these on TW, but can't find anything on them. 

 

Thanks!

They are awesome. i own most of the lineup now. Depending on what you are wanting to use it for will depend on the model. The 7'3" MH Ehrler model is a great multi purpose rod, i have used swim jigs, weightless senkos, 1/4 and 3/8oz t-rigs, finesse jigs, swimbaits all on this rod. I wouldnt personally use anything over a 3/8oz trig on it as once you get to 1/2oz with plastic it feels a bit overloaded to me. The 7'1" H Montgomery rod is very nice for a little heavier stuff, 3/8 to 1/2oz is good on that rod. Otherwise if you are wanting something with a bit more power then you would need to look up at the elite ags series at either the 7'4" H or 7'6" H, but that jumps in price a good amount. The one i have yet to try is the 7'3" H Omori rod, nobody has them in stock, but i would imagine that would be an excellent 1/2oz jig and t-rig rod once we are able to get them.

The regular Tatula line does have quite a few fast and extra fast actions which are great bottom contact rods. The regular action rods are designed for moving baits. That said the Elites are next on the list for me.

The Tatula 7'1" MH--XF.  Is a great soft plastic rod. Light, sensitive and can load up pretty well when you need some power

I love these rods, however my only one is the Ehler 7ft MMH Fast Tatula Elite, love this for light lures or weightless plastics. I'm tempted to pick up a couple more. The sensitivity is awesome.
