You're going to love that T.S. Poker rod! My buddy has one and he throws frogs, bigger swimbaits, and flips big jigs with it. One of megabass' best cosmetically looking rods also

[@robertbrandywine]

I think that nut wrench you have is more of a hindrance than a help. I bought a nut driver and it works great and I don't have to worry about it banging up my handle.

[@florissant_fish2852]

Cool, I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video on how to upgrade/ take apart a daiwa!

[@PunchFishing]

Glad you found my video! Hope it helps.

[@aarongreenlee7867]

Good stuff! I ordered a CT 100 and a CT 150 from Tackle Trap, just waiting for them to arrive. My other Daiwa reel is the SV TW. I am worried the SV may have spoiled me. If I am spoiled, at least I have learned how to upgrade the CTs!

[@Nathanfox2324]

I saw the insta and have been waiting for this vid!!

[@PunchFishing]

Hope you like it!

[@slougo5909]

Good video, Tackle Trap is Awesome! Ordered a Daiwa Kage spinning rod on Monday the week of Christmas and it was n my porch Wednesday Christmas Eve. During The Coof know less.

[@GwithaK]

I have the kage jerkbait rod paired w a kage 2500 reel and let me tell you what it makes a 110 dance!

[@slougo5909]

My Kage is 7' mf spinning rod w/Daiwa 2500 Tatula. I was nervous w/the close to micro size eyelets, but used Alberto not and its Silky Smooth. Uni to Uni knot was to big to pass smooth.

[@nosrednas24]

Thank you! Got bearings and a handle on order for my Tatula 100!

[@brianvillalobos9269]

Thank you for this video it helped me do my tatula!!!

[@nikolayd.3399]

Great video. With what the upgrade will help exactly?

[@Amso4]

Thanks for the vid. Should do a gear change, it makes an older reel feel new again.

[@PunchFishing]

Whoops! fixed. this reel feels really good still.

[@af4od02]

Hello. I am watching this tutorial 2 years after its posting. I use Daiwa Tatula reels. I definitely know you can feel the difference in the change out of the reel handles. But, could you tell any significant difference in performance by changing out those two bearings? Thanks.

[@slabslapper8507]

I'd really like to know too

[@Armchair_Angler]

Cool vid, you've convinced me to get a Tat100 for froggin'! I don't think I'll end up doing to handle upgrade for added torque so I went with the HS (7.1:1) and 30IPT should be just fine. How heavy is the braid you're using? My only concern with this reel is how much 65lb line I'd be able to get on the spool. Unfortunately Daiwa doesn't post capacity for 65lb so I ended up buying 50lb powerpro S8Sv2. Cheers

[@PunchFishing]

I'm using 50lb braid, which I think is even overkill for frogging. I just had it laying around so that's what I'm using.

[@Armchair_Angler]

@@PunchFishing thanks for the reply, keep them coming.

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Great tutorial. Do you think it would be possible to swap the spool on these to a bfs application?

[@HBeretta]

you know...i did a lot of upgrades on my jdm 2017 daiwa tatula sv tw and just couldn't get around the shape of the 2017. now these new tatulas are shaped like the steez sv reels, which i like. likewise, i went through tackle trap for the bearings; went ZPI based on their recommendation and had looked at the hedgehog bearings etc... Anyway, all the updgrades and I was like...meh...casts great...smooth reeling, but was spoiled by the weight and shape of the steez sv tw. these new(er) tatula reels are under 7oz though and curious how close i could get a new tatula sv tw to a steez. great vid.

[@PunchFishing]

I've never owned a Steez which is probably a good thing 😬

[@HBeretta]

@@PunchFishing what you really don't want to own are those new jdm zillions...they've replaced the steez for me....low $300s too on ebay months ago when they launched in Japan. Keep in mind JDM 6.1oz...USA 6.7oz. Clicking drag too...reel exceeds the hype. Seriously, stay away from it...it'll replace all your reels.

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

great job sir !!!!!

[@robertbentlygeorge8973]

You didn't need to take off the zero adjustment side plate. Just undo the knob and take the Bearing out

[@christophersmith9162]

So now I would like to see a video on the performance of the reel, did it increase casting distance or consistency with the bearings and after useing it how do you like the power of the handle, did it truly transform the reel?

[@PunchFishing]

I wouldn't say these upgrades are THAT dramatic. Bigger handles really does help with techniques like flipping and frogging where you gain some extra torque. I will post some follow ups on my frogging setup on instagram though, so follow me there.

[@christophersmith9162]

@@PunchFishing sometimes with Daiwa reels it's just fun to customize them to your own personal taste. I just recently purchased a tutula elite after I sold my to Tatula 100 I'm thinking of upgrading the handle to a longer than 90 mm. also changed the handles on my Daiwa Steez reels and had spanky at tackle trap redo my SV spools made a great difference.

[@shawntitsworth4878]

Great vid bud. I’m a Lews guy myself. I tear all mine completely down every year clean oil and lube in the off season. I use an ultra sonic cleaner on all my parts. Makes clean up a breeze. My question does tackle trap carry Lews parts?

[@PunchFishing]

They do carry Lews parts! They can also let you know which aftermarket bearings will fit inside your Lews reels. tackletrap.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=898_892

[@floydmayes4924]

Its too bad that they don't have shorter knobs on the aftermarket handle. Does TackleTrap have the key to take the knobs off the aftermarket handle?

[@christophersmith9162]

Also again I implore you to try a Kistler rod... They are running a sale on them right now I believe.

[@PunchFishing]

kistlers are perpetually on sale!

[@christophersmith9162]

@@PunchFishing that is true if you wait a little bit you can almost always find them on sale however the rods that are in stock NOW are new for 2021 they are not the same as the 20/20 model would love to see an honest unbiased opinion on them

[@fredsgonefishing8802]

Was just wondering what the drag and spool tension knobs are made of plastic or aluminum? 🇨🇦

[@albingranlund8283]

Great video! How well does the Tatula handle light baits?

[@PunchFishing]

The tatula SV does really well, the regular tatula 100 is more suited for "normal" sized or bigger baits.

[@zachsbass2482]

How does the Poker compare to the Tequila in terms of power & action?

[@PunchFishing]

hrmm good question! I didn't think to bend the two side by side. I'll do that and toss some pics on my Instagram (@punchfishing)

[@zachsbass2482]

@@PunchFishing thanks Brian 👍🏻

[@treblanco7872]

I have the exact same reel, but for some reason it’s making a noise like sand is rubbing the spool when I crank, I disassembled, cleaned and saw knicks on the spool frame, I gently filed them down in hopes of the noise going away but it still makes the noise when I cast, I even cleaned inside the ridges where the spool sits and spins. It’s still smooth but I’m not comfortable with the noise, do you think it can be one of my bearing making the noise? Any feedback will be helpful, thank you in advance

[@PunchFishing]

you could definitely try flushing the bearings in acetone

[@Doodsaplenty]

any problems with finger on the line for feel? Heard it could cause line to come out of the T

[@PunchFishing]

None at all!

[@Z3Inc]

What was the name of that red tool that removed the nut? Did you say Roro?

[@PunchFishing]

Yes Roro, rorolure.com/products/trust-wrench

[@Z3Inc]

@@PunchFishing Thanks!

[@commentwars6693]

What is the best overall do all daiwa reel?

[@PunchFishing]

If your on a budget, a tatula SV. If you can spend a few more bucks, Zillion. If money is no biggie, go right for the Steez A.

[@AndrewTa530]

RIP TACKLE TRAP!@$^#

[@motoxup]

Bro you got ripped off 55.00 for bearings is outrageous who sings you cover up with the bearings are called you got a grease called White lithium it also comes in a spray can are a small tub whatever you want to get you should have sprayed some of that in there before you put the skirts on. Just saying
