I am in the market for a stealthy looking reel to match my Daiwa Cronos 7'6" M/ML spinning rod and the Tatula LT seems to be where I am at. However, I am up-in-the-air between the models. The 2500 seems to have a deep spool and holds the same capacity as the 4000. The 2500 weighs 6.2oz. and the 4000 is 7.4oz (still super light for a reel this size). The IPT of the 4000 is something like 39" which is awesome but I figured I would ask you guys to give comparisons for either. Will the 2500 size/weight make the the rod seem a little tip heavy? It seems like many guys are going with the larger arbor spools on their spinning reels and I do see the benefit as I do use larger arbor reels. For instance, on my other Cronos 7'6" rod, I have a Luvias 3012H. Not sure where the 3000 size Tatula LT reels fall into place here (both deep and standard spool) but it seems like the new 4000 size is closer to Daiwa's older 3000 size reels. Right now, TW is the only place I see with 4000 size reels in stock. Any help and/or input would be appreciated. Thanks and best wishes on the water!

I like 2500 or 300 size reels, smaller profile and usually lighter them 4000 size. I use my spinning gear for senkos and light tackle, In the past I would use a 4000 for carp and sometimes pike, but a 2500/3000 would do just fine for large mouth and smallies. 

4000 is a bug spinning reel

The model # TALT3000-CXH is what you probably want for bass fishing.  You don't need the deep spool, as 160 yds. of 8# line is more than enough.

Has anyone tried this reel?  Thinking of picking one up, but reviews and feedback are limited since it is so new.

Bought the 4000 size after a few guys (and pros) recommended this size for the rod and applications I was using (7'6" M/ML Cronos rod).  I love the reel and for the size, it is very compact and very light (just over 7oz. for the 4000).  It is ridiculously smooth and the matte black color is very understated and slick.  I think I want to add another for my Legend Xtreme.  My next one will be a 3000 for that rod.  Hope this helps!

Thank you.  Just ordered a 3000.  Tight lines!
