Ill ship it to you for service =p Wish they were available now =/ PS..Some of the reviews i read said the Tatula felt smoother than the Ballistic. Haaaa.. sure! I got some fancy ferrofluid.......40$ per ML.... Where'd you see that? Just curious. Not many out in the wild from what i understand. I'm trying to get my hands on the 1k's and the fuego to poke with a screwdriver and camera "Panacheless is no way to go through life" Tims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitbucket Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I did a search for the Tatula LT on Google. Was mostly peoples initial thoughts from handling them at icast. There was a comment left on Tackle Ware house as well. "This reel blew my mind! I wasnt planning or even really kept up with ICAST this year like normally. Anyways, its so smooth I cannot emphasize enough! As if taking a new high end baitcaster on ABEC 7s without noise to elaborate. I held a few sizes of both the Tatula and the Ballistic reels. Over all, with same results going through the different sizes the Tatula felt much better. Smoother and more rigid (I would assume a result of the gear differences.) So far, ive got a very good impression of the Tatula. Looks promising to outlast and out perform its competitors. Of course time will tell but that comes later."

Confusing to order online based on past experiences with sizing. PS: Love my Ballistic EX's. You put a pig on a spit, and you can guarantee my attendance.

(and i'm very biased towards preferring worm gear oscillation systems ) Scooby, i know its impossible to know for sure till we get them in our hands. But which do you think will cast further?

Gotcha Fair enough I would put no weight in anything other than retail product. And time spent with them once they are out for a bit. Many said the twinpower was smoother than the stella ANd some guys here think stradics and stella are just as smooth. I think they are the same reel with different colors and mag seal. Could be wrong....but time will tell. Either way I hope to get my hands on all 3 Fuego tat ballistic "Panacheless is no way to go through life" Tims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzky Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm looking to replace a conflict 4000 with a lighter diawa LT - what size diawa would you recommend for 20lb test BRAID? Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Is the 1000 and 2000 size the same with a different spool? Or is the rotor/body different as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 2000 in the LT series is the Tatula, which is not magsealed. The other 4 reels go from 1000 to 2500 and are different sized bodies.
