SWIMBAIT REEL OF CHOICE | Daiwa Tatula 300

Check out my thoughts on my swimbait reel of choice. The Daiwa Tatula 300 featuring the magforce dial for quick adjustments on the fly and the TWS T-wing system for maximum casting distance. Followed by an interesting eat on the SU x Rago D3 swimbait.

I grabbed two 300 Lexa-WN reels I have not looked back. Daiwa T wing system. Is a game changer🔥

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@garym2293]

I was a die hard shimano guy own 4 tranx from 200 to 400 have curados 1 200 3 300 a conquest and my beginning days a few cardiffs one day bought a new rod but they were out of tranx and curados so I bought a tatula 300 5;3 for plastics omg I fell in love love brakes on outside I now own 3 and will probably stick with daiwa myself when buying new Great Video!!!! Cheers!! :))

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Where did you find a 5:3 gear ratio?

@@swimbaitscrutiny here in phx at my store Phoenix fishing supply buy all my stuff there they take great care of me buy with fc sniper 20# spooled out door 210 dollars great guys

[@catchingmoefish]

Just ordered one for winter

[@matthewotis3594]

I love my Lexa twx but I wanna try the tat 300. If I'd wIted another month I'd have gore the tat, they weren't out yet. ThinkPad the Lexa is tougher but the magforce z brakes on the tat are better than the nagforce on my lexa.

[@durvalpalomo3713]

Hola como estas? Acabo de comprar Daiwa 300 HSL pero cual me recomendas para comprar Multifilmamento y Caña? Muchas Gracias

[@redzuanhashim1193]

Next on the list

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Well worth it!!

[@timb8970]

Can you use this reel to cast 9 oz lures on a regular basis or will it wear out too fast? Great videos by the way.

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Thanks! …IMO you’d probably want a 400 size reel for 9oz lures

[@gnarcia8048]

What’s lightest you throw on that?

[@willsmith1988]

broke mine second outing the thumb bar wouldnt return back sometimes

[@Lowdowndirtybassin1978]

What size line are you using for this setup? Thanks

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

15lb xxx izorline

[@deltapromasterlauj4848]

how is it compare to a tranx 300? in terms of casting distance, internals, and reliability? thanks!

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

I’d give the durability to the tranx but casting distance and quick adjustments is why I prefer the tats 🫡

[@backwoodsk8er]

What model is that perch glide bait at the end of your vid? The one closest to the camera?

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Hinkle Shad

[@NuteDobbs]

Good shit man! Keep em coming!

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@dujedelic6824]

Can I use this reel on abu beast pro 60-260(2-8.5oz) gram rod for pike fishing? Or I need 400 size reel for baits over 5oz?

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

I throw baits up to 7oz with the 300

[@northernmichiganangler6400]

I need to mess around with the tats, my k sounds like it may be on its last leg by the end of the season

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Yea I have a couple reels that don’t sound so great either. Might grab another 200 size tatula

[@tannerstone7446]

Just ordered the Tutula 300 for northern pike, it was that or the Curado k 300 and honestly pretty hyped for my first Daiwa baitcaster!

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Bet you’ll love it! 💪🏼

[@benbjamun2129]

Anyone know how to make the thumb bar click smoother? Thanks

[@CA-sl2xw]

Just subd! I also use 300’s and love em for all the reasons you mentioned. Q: What baits are you throwing, when you spoil up with the 20lb Izorline? Trying to dial in my line’s. Thx!

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

Mostly big wake baits. Some crank downs and glides as well… XL OD Rat Hinkle Shad MS slammer Just to name a few.

[@CA-sl2xw]

@@swimbaitscrutiny Thx for the reply, I have some Izorline on the way. Curious to see how my glides act on it, got em dialed to flouro and they didn’t really act right on CXX. Do you throw the citizens on co-poly? Thx again

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

@@CA-sl2xw the izorline I find to be a line that kind of works for everything if you need it to. If I know I’m going to be fishing deeper water I’ll switch to abrasx. I’ve had equal success with citizens on co poly and flouro.. The flouro I believe helps keep the bait down better tho.

[@theman21030]

I’ve had a tranx 300 for years recently got a Tatula 300 and must say it casts much better it is more consistent and casts farther.

[@Griim.]

I want to like this reel & I have mine paired w/ a Leviathan XH & using 2-4 oz baits w/ 20llb fluro consistently but can’t seem to dial it in to get those bomb casts w/o backlashing??

[@theman21030]

I have the exact setup mine is on 10 right in the middle sometimes I take it down to 9 . Get your spool adjustment so there is a tiny amount of side to side play

[@theman21030]

Oh I’m using 80# power pro braid to 30 or 35 flouro .

[@daryldaryl887]

Don't use fluro as a main line to stop your backlashing.

[@heatholderinc4961]

You like it over say a steez or zillion?

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

They don’t make those models in a 300… I wish!

[@logicalrationalfishing7481]

What kind of rod are you using and what lines have you used on the 300??? I am considering one, been casting down to the backing on my old Type R. Also thought of using my Zillion TWS for larger baits, but that is the same capacity as the original Tatula. All my other reels are SV or MGL and too low of capacity, just river finesse fishing doesn't require heavy line. I would plan to use the 300 or even 400 with a bit of backing and around 100 yards of 25lb fluorocarbon or straight up full of 65lb braid. Planning to through 5.8-7.8 Keitechs and maybe a few glide baits/big swimbaits/A-rigs if or when I get them. Thanks for the content!!!

[@swimbaitscrutiny]

My two Tatula 300s are paired with a Nameless Customs 807 and a Dobyns 868. Depending on what I’m throwing I’m either using 17 lb AbrasX fluoro or Izorline xxx 20 lb which is a co poly. Glad you enjoy the content!

[@eugenemccracken3810]

Letssss go

[@metalheadz_1998]

Got the 6.3 : 1 for my jerkbait rod, tested it and realized the gear ratio does not work with my baits. Got it replaced with 8.1 : 1 the same day. Keep that in mind.
