If you are pitching or skipping, save up and get the SV. If you are just casting, get whatever fits your budget. I have a the Tatula CT and a few SVs and they both brake very well. The SV has an advantage when casting lighter lures (the weight varies depending on the rod but on a MH/F the difference is noticeable on a 3/8oz lure but not as much on a 1/2oz lure).

isn't the 100 bigger?

It's rated for the same amount of 12lb line as the CT, but on the box they list the diameter of what they call 12lb line, on the CT it's .330mm and on the 100 it's .285mm so that's more like 10lb or even 9lb line using the rating of the CT. It's a good reel for crankbaits and jerkbaits for example.

The tat ct, tat ct type r,  Zillion svtw and the tat svtw are built on the exact same frame footprint. Sizes are identical. 
 

the new tatsv that came out this month is built on the smaller 100 frame.

Thanks for the correction..I haven't actually measured them, but I would have sworn that the CT was narrower than the SV-TWS. I'll be unloading them out of the boat in the very near future to get stuff ready for this spring and will check them out.

They look to be the same size to me side by side.

Thanks,

iabass8 has pointed that out. I don't have mine here to have compared them and was going by memory.

a faulty memory it seems...it happens when you're old
