Wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with these in either the regular or the p/f style. Looks like they are available everywhere now and wanted to hear some feedback before I jumped in. 

I played with one in the store.. it's just a metal version of a Tatula 100. Same exact frame and handle. 

Same frame as the last version , Tatula 100 , not the CT. Solid reel , you won't be disappointed.

I plan on buying one. Hopefully they are still in stock near Christmas time.

I thought the 100 was aluminum already. For $90 more it better be made of platinum

The 100 has a aluminum frame with graphite side plates..The Elite has a aluminum frame with a aluminum side plate on the gear side.

I’m sure it’s a great reel but I do find it funny that stuff that originally standard is making a comeback with a higher price tag.  The original tatula has an aluminum handle side plate as did the lexa which were cheaper lol.

 

the rigidity of aluminum has made a comeback at premium lol
