Thoughts? 

 

I’m a fan of the current Tatulas, and those new ones look pretty sweet!

Can i pay Daiwa to remove that ugly spider that they put on everything Tat?

Tackle warehouse has the current line 25% off plus a free aftco shirt

Looks cool.  I wish they had a carbon grip just to knock it out of the part with a modern rod.  To me the posion adrena was the bass fishing iphone moment when we went from black berry's and flip phones with buttons to a glass touch screen that worked with human hands.  Ditching the tree bark for a carbon tube handle assembly was like the rod stepped out from a time portal from the future.  I would like to see that at sub $200.

this is like the exact opposite of what I want in a rod lol.

 

when I saw the thread title, I was worried they had ditched the cork.

You could always switch to Abu rods. They don’t have an ugly spider.

Are you good with a pin striping brush?

Yeah you could get a Zillion/BLX/Steez and not have to worry about it

Really great rods. I have the Ehler AGS been impressed with it.

They have foam handles with carbon butts.

I’m glad they went back to split grips on the new Tatula rods. I preferred the original Tatula over the last model.

Except... those guides...  I think I have broken 5 guides in 50 years of fishing and 4 of them have been the AGS guides on my one Ehrler rod. It's in the shop as we speak getting fixed yet again. I would order another Ehrler rod if they came with different guides. 

Thoughts?

 

Video is too dark.  My 10 year old grandson could do better.  Probably pick better music too, although I wouldn't bet my life on that.

I haven't had any issues with any of mine, I have them on 2 Steeze also. I have heard of issues with the older AGS.

Ive got a couple Sol AGS's and theyve held up really well to me leaning into the rod with plugs 1oz and up.  I would buy more if they weren't so hard to get. 

I liked everything about the older Tatula except the way the reel seat bulged toward the rear on the casting models.  Daiwa fixed that with Elite, XT and now it looks like Tatula Bass has been remedied as well.
