Shimano Curado DC Vs Daiwa Tatula TW SV. (please sub if you enjoyed the vs)

[@4492573]

I just bought the Diawa based on your review, I believe it’s a honest review, thank you. Same model.

[@Ziemanm]

I’m primarily a Shimano guy but I definitely prefer the Tatula Sv TW over the Curado DC. This video is 100% spot on!

[@conchon-wq4kb]

Been using both of them, tatula sv is the most dissapointed reel i've ever use, better go with the Curado MGL150

[@slowwaves5154]

@@conchon-wq4kbwhat is the reason?

[@MrDaveTorrance]

Thanks for the review. Picked one up because of your video, and you are spot on with your facts and feelings. Im very impressed with this reel.

[@waldekjarota1259]

Honest and very true, to the point! Curdao DC uses older iDC4 brake, iDC5 is actually where DC starts to deliver, and still it is no way better than a fair Daiwa or SVS system from Shimano itself. Abu IV CBVI outlasts it as well. DC gets above the others if you need to throw against the wind. 8x4DC system is even better, but it's fitted to Antares and Excence DC , when ch are like 6-7 times the price of those we talk about here. Curdao 200DC might be something for heavy to xh lures. It still uses iDC4, but heavier lures are less demanding for the reel if the spool tension knob is adjuster against the book , just traditional way. SLX DC XT 2022 is using iDC5,and might be the step in DC model to start with, as well as Scorpion DC ,which is JDM reel ... So price gets higher with shipment and duty...at least for me in Europe.

[@TrexOnTheGame]

Thanks boss, I’m otr at the moment and I can’t wait to hit a bass pro shops for that Daiwa! I was really on the fence between these two and I made up my mind thanks to you 👍

[@evannation4842]

Just ordered my Tatula tw sv103 for $127 before tax. Very excited especially the about the price. It also is the JDM model and is getting shipped overseas. Only difference is some purple accents on the reel bearings and brakes and that is because it is the 8:1:1 gear ratio, the lower gear ratios are red, then gold for the slowest gear ratio which is a nice touch.

[@StormRidersFishing]

New sub, good video. I just got the Tatula SV TW. Awesome reel. I bought it for a skip/pitch reel. You didn’t touch on it but it skips perfectly out of the box. I also have Curado DC, JDM 71 SLX DC, JDM Scorpion DC. I came to the conclusion about DC, that they are better suited for moving baits. Curado is my crank reel, SLX DC is my burning banks with spinnerbait reel, Scorpion DC is my frog reel, simply because I haven’t found what it’s perfect for yet. I have medium size hands and all those models fit in palm. But Tatula SV TW is smaller and more comfortable, less blocky feeling than Shimano. Can’t wait for your review. I hope this helps those who are considering those models of reels.

[@hobiiku]

Thank you Bro for your Reviu. How about Daiwa Tatula Elite? I want to buy it

[@adwhite804]

Great video. Just confirms my belief in Daiwa products. Shimano makes great stuff no question. But we all have our preference

[@HustleHabit]

Great video, brother. Waiting for my SV to arrive in the mail

[@FishermanFred2023]

I have a Tatula SV 103h arriving today. I have a Curado DC and SLX DC as well. Really looking forward to trying out the Daiwa. I’d say my SLX DC backlashes (or overruns might be a better word for it) more than any reel I own. And yeah I agree you absolutely have to thumb a DC reel unless you tighten it down more than needed. Going to put the Tatula on my Fenwick HMG.

[@Everything_Beast]

I had mine on a fenwick initially, worked great. I found I had far less trouble with my daiwa sv than I did with my dc reels. I hope it works out for you.

[@tylerstumpf9710]

How does the Tatula sv 103 pair up against your shimano?

[@FishermanFred2023]

@@tylerstumpf9710 My Tatula SV and Curado DC are my two favorite reels so far. Hard to say. Both are great. The Tatula is way better feeling than the base SLX but the Curado they are super close. The Tatula is crazy smooth on the retrieve. Curado may feel a bit more premium in the hand.

[@mrblackbasser]

The SV designation is a smaller spool diameter. A bit less line helps it cast lighter lures farther.

[@Everything_Beast]

Yeah its stands for Stress free versatility. It is a smaller spool but also made of lighter material (Duraluminum) that aids with lighter lures. I believe it's also how the spool interacts with the braking system.

[@michaelhunter3128]

Question for you. Which one feels better in your hands? Is one easier to palm in your hands? Thanks. Michael

[@Everything_Beast]

The daiwa tatula sv. The shimano curado is a bit bulkier feeling to me.

[@matthewskinner9869]

Agree diawa when dialed in you hardly even need to thumb it

[@ogjmcnutt9756]

What line is on that Daiwa, how do you make that Daiwa cast out there but yea the curado be zooming like 12ft further when on one setting

[@Everything_Beast]

I use seagur invisx 12 lb. I set the brakes at 7 to 8 on the daiwa. The tension to where the spool stops shaking back and forth

[@ogjmcnutt9756]

@Everything_Beast oh OK an setting it to this setting makes the Daiwa cast out further because like you said out the box it's set pretty on you know

[@Everything_Beast]

@ogjmcnutt9756 yes out of the box they have the tension knob set pretty much where you want it. Some people loosen it or tighten it alittle to their liking. In general, the looser the tension knob the farther the cast, but you have to adjust the brakes to keep it from backlashing. The dc applies the brakes on and off as it calculates, so you get farther casts but that's also why it backlashes from time to time. Play with the brakes settings a bit up and down, you should get it to a good common ground on distance to backlash.

[@ogjmcnutt9756]

@Everything_Beast Thanks you've been a good help to me going to try this method you told me about on my next trip tight lines

[@legowolf22]

Would the sv103 be too small for walleye using crank baits? Im getting back into fishing (all my experience is FL fishing and wanting to get in on some Canadian fish) Would need a 1 size fits all for Walleye and Northern Pike (Jack Fish) fishing from an inflatable raft with an electric trolling motor

[@Everything_Beast]

I've caught some nice size walleye on it with no issue.

Is this video about the OG SV TW or the 103?

@@Everything_Beast Im having issues not being able to cast straight/more than 15ft with an ambasdadeur 5601bcx i got when i first moved here and im sick of fiddling with it. The sv103 and curado k are the 2 im looking at hard but my gut keeps wanting me to pick the Daiwa for some reason even though ive read the 200k is a great one if you could only have 1 do it all. I think Im sold on the 103. Just need a stress free baitcaster that I can cast 30yrds to 75yards max with crank/jigs/worms. Now to find a budget fishfinder to hook onto the Mariner 4.

One thing I can guarantee you. When it comes to casting reels into a head wind, the Daiwa wins hands down!

I like to fish baitcast reels from different brands (10) and I have allmost no preference, because all of them have their own caracteristics...

[@FishermanFred2023]

Very true.

[@annexoffroad]

Your vids helped me find this reel. Question is, if i had to have only 1 for all fishing, should I order the 6.3 or the 7.1 worms/grubs/cranks etc Thanks Mr Beast

[@Everything_Beast]

7.1 is a good all around speed

[@annexoffroad]

@@Everything_Beast Dang. I ordered the 6.3 since Daiwa labels it the Standard ratio and 7.1 is Hyper. I tried getting ahold of the place I ordered it from hoping to swap it to 7.1 before shipped out but it was too late. This is my first reel purchas in 10 years due to the last one being a POS and I stopped fishing. Hope this dont deter me for another 10

Great Video! What is the biggest fish you can use these reels for? I am in Brazil and fish for Tamba which can be 25-30 kilos, could I either reel for this type of fish?

[@Everything_Beast]

I've caught as big as 10lbs. I'd assume you could get up to 20lbs. They do make larger models I'd assume would handle bigger fish.

[@markwarren3535]

Grew up salmon fishing with Ambassadeur 3500c reels. We used to just take the brakes out. Anyway, I used both, currently own a pair of Curado DC's. Why ?? Because they seemed like toss ups. But, the Curado felt better on the rod, and..."Curado" sounds much cooler than " Tatula". Say some rapper did a bass fishing rap, " Curado, desperado " or " Tatula spatula ".See ??

In my opinion, the daiwa tatula sv tw 103 was the better of the two.

[@b1gl0u96]

@@Everything_Beast I respectfully disagree, out of 100 cast in the wind, against the wind, really light lures, heavy lures, frogs, small to large swim baits, etc. I’ve maybe bird nested 2-3 times. I’ve used a diawa and I do agree it is smaller but if your rod and bait caster balance each other out, the curado fits very well. Unless like you said, someone with baby hands 😂 might go for the daiwa. Thanks for the video.

[@TheSpadre]

Daiwa SV TW for the win.

[@kensimkins839]

Sorry, just my opinion but I have to disagree. It’s worth the extra $50 just to hear that cool sound of casting on a peaceful, quiet early morning. The reel talking back. Wheeeeeeng…! Effortless retrieve. Without looking there is no doubt! You are fishing a Shimano Curado DC. Yep, a little over priced but I enjoy each and every cast I make with it. ‘Specially when there’s a toad on the other end! Thanks for the video!
