I haven’t bought any new Daiwa baitcasters in the last few years and it’s not a matter of disliking them. Once I really dug into the smaller Shimano sizes (50/70, aldebaran, slx), that was it. They’re ergonomic perfection for my hands and for my fishing style. 
 

For guys who’ve owned/used both, are there any tats with a similar size and feel of the small shimanos? I get more and more curious about Daiwa’s newer offerings as time goes by. I just want something I’ll actually use that fits in with the rest of my stuff...

There aren't currently any Tatula reels as small as a 70 curado. The latest Tatula 100 series is almost identical in size to the Curado 200.

 

That's a Curado DC vs. Tatula Elite

The 100 has been on my short list since it came out. Just looks very steezy to me...which is a doofy reason to buy a reel but hey. What are you gonna do

Isn't the new 2020 tatula sv supposed to be much smaller?
