Introducing: The all new Daiwa Tatula MQ LT Reel

We are proud to introduce the new standard in spinning reels- the all new Tatula MQ. Our MQ design was engineered for our high end models such as Exist and Certate, but is now available in the Tatula family. The Monocoque (MQ) frame design allows us to fit a larger gear inside of the reel, adding torque, power and longevity to your gear set in the same size reel. A 360 degree screw-in sideplate removes to need for traditional sideplate screws, for a more compact and more weather resistant housing.
TATULA MQ LT Features:
• One-piece MONOCOQUE ZAION V body
• AIRDRIVE ROTOR
• SOLID AIRDRIVE BAIL
• TOUGH DIGIGEAR®
• Ball Bearing-Supported Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD™)
• Machined aluminum screw-in handle
• 8BB + 1
• Gear ratios between 5.8:1 and 6.2:1 for effectively playing fish
• Line-Per-Turn: 28.8-inches (1000 size) to 39.1-inches (4000 size)

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Just picked up the mq lt 2000 today. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@darksidecarnival5385]

I gotta say: Daiwa sure knows how to put together a great video! I don't need a reel at the moment but after seeing this, I'm making an excuse to buy one. I've been supremely happy with all my Daiwa reels both for hard water & open water fishing and now I've gotta get this one....just because 🙂

[@pancingdewata]

Nice reel 👍🤙

Good job

[@rudibuckler]

With this black / silver look, my only hope is Australia coming out with full black TD Black Airdrive Design

[@SailorsAdventure]

That's nice reel

[@pens87668]

It’s nice and looks great with the silver accents, but I don’t think it’s worth swapping your original LTs out for the MQ LT.

[@basschaser9356]

Should I upgrade to this ? I currently have 3 tatula lt 3k

Still trying to understand the Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) on the Daiwa Procyon MQ LT Spinning Reel

Hola! Es compatible una bobina 2500D con un carrete 2500S?

Update I've always been a Shimano go to for years, and always will be, but was looking for a 2000 light reel for jigging and Shimano just does not have it in this price range with a larger high gear for more torque. I was using a 2500 Ultegra but it's just too heavy for long days of jigging. Tried to use a Stradic 1000 and it works but feels underpowered and with 6lb it's not ideal. Been using the Tatula 2000 model for inshore jigging with 6lb line and I can't fault it jigging for 5-6 hours non stop being so light. The only gripe is the handle has a tiny bit of play but nothing a shim can't resolve. I changed the handle to a black Titanium Gomexus with ceramic bearings and now it's perfect. I am critical of my reels and I have many including the 22 Stradic and Stella as well as other lower model Diawa's. This is an extraordinary reel in how it feels. The shaft feels that it's spinning on air when turning the handle, something my other reels don't feel like. It's really an amazing feeling. The reel never has failed once in operation and is very light. Line management is excellent but need to add a washer to get the line lay to not taper on the top from how it came originally.

[@alexstacks]

where are the washers that need to be added, i jsut mine today

[@WaytooFastSpeed]

@@alexstacks Everywhere you feel there is play. I usually find the bail needs to be shimmed a tad to be tight and perfect. Many won't care or notice or it depends on their copy.

[@kratimamnurpujinegara710]

What drive gear alumunium alloy or zink?

[@ThaliaHerediaiglesias]

Sabes por que la versión de Asia solo soporta 5kg y la versión de usa 10kg de freno? Y que diferencia hay entre el modelo( fc lt2500 vs lt2500). Que significa (FC) ?

[@PDajax]

Drive gear zink or alloy?

[@kongmengyang2056]

Nice but sad that they down graded the bail.

[@gslang3489]

Can any1 tell me what the 4 packages washers are for?

[@Sweetaccord]

Just bought two!

[@user-ir2gr9nr2x]

Hello! where are the bearings located? where can i put the bearings?

[@Sweetaccord]

@@user-ir2gr9nr2x Two are in the handle. Others are best viewed in the schematics from Daiwa to find the location and size.

[@user-ir2gr9nr2x]

@@Sweetaccord thanks for the answer

[@Sweetaccord]

@@user-ir2gr9nr2x Welcome. I would just replace the two in the handle. All other places have a bearing already.

[@user-ir2gr9nr2x]

@@Sweetaccord Are bearings installed in the spool and spool assembly? I communicate with you through a translator, I don’t know if the translation will be correct.

[@leogetsome]

Will it work in salt water

[@lashhang]

when will be released? when can we buy?

[@Sweetaccord]

Now

[@pacman_17]

How much?

[@mrfilamfishing]

Take my money.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Why changing the air bail to this thin wire bail? cutting weight?

[@joestrummer9507]

Great question, I'm not a fan of the thin wire bails. I doubt we'll get a response here though.

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@joestrummer9507 I just looked at the Tatula MQ on Daiwa Japan website and it has the true one piece bail.... Daiwa USA feeling cheap?

[@ThomasMichaelSeaboldt]

​@@joestrummer9507 I don't mind the thinner profile if the material it's made out of is stiffer, but I guess we'll have to find out about that. Looking at the Weight, Features, and Price, it looks like they're about to hit a Grand Slam in the sales department though.

[@pens87668]

It doesn’t cut weight. I checked out a 2500 version on Friday before buying another original Tatula LT, and it’s a little bit heavier. The 2500 was 6.7 oz. To me it’s not worth the extra $30-$40. If it were under the 6.2 and 6.3 oz of the current variations I’d consider buying it. I rather get a few more of the LTs with them going on clearance now.

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@pens87668 When the Procyon MQ came out last year, the Procyon LT went on sale for a large margin, I believe there's still some on big sale somewhere. The Tatula LT is such a great reel, light weight and better body material Zaion rather than Zaion V on the MQ model. I'm curious to how much better does the MQ bigger gear feel..... just ordered a BG MQ 3000 for $150, we'll see if MQ is worth it. And the new Tatula MQ does have the air drive rotor, supposedly lower inertia on rotation? The JDM model does have the one piece bail and usually cheaper than USDM models.

[@CrazyCranker]

Looks like a re-badged JDM 21CALDIA. Hmmm...

[@TTangOutdoors]

The Caldia MQ doesn't have the AirDrive design. AirDrive is from the new Exist and Arity.

[@reallymean233]

Is this the BG MQ renamed?

[@shep9879]

It’s made with different materials

[@etiennepauze-brodeur4127]

ballistic mq lt or tatula mq lt in 4000 size?

[@proverbialmind_spread9421]

Salt or fresh water? Ballistic has the magseal for salt. Tatula if you're fresh water fishing.

[@etiennepauze-brodeur4127]

@@proverbialmind_spread9421 i bought the tatula and im real happy with it

too bad，it is just 21caldia with new skin but no magsealed

Nope
