Carrying the legendary Tatula name into the class of big bait reels the Daiwa Tatula 300 Baitcasting Reels are the perfect option for throwing those big presentations that trophy hunters love. For the first time anglers can now utilize the innovations that only the Tatula platform provides specifica...lly for heavy duty applications like magnum deep-diving crankbaits big swimbaits and A-rigs. The Tatula 300 is the largest Daiwa baitcaster to incorporate the renowned T-Wing System level-wind that increases casting distance and enhances line control. The T-Wing system does this by disengaging the level-wind while the reel is in free-spool effectively eliminating resistance on the line as it dispenses from the spool during a cast. By opening up the line feed anglers are able to cast further more accurately and can utilize the reels braking systems to its full potential. The T-Wing System is also very efficient at reducing backlashes on the 300-size reel by reducing the angle of the line coming off the larger spool. Equipped with Daiwas Magforce Z magnetic braking system the Tatula 300 can be easily tuned for optimal casting based on wind conditions the rods youre fishing and overall aerodynamics of the baits youre throwing. At the reels core is a set of much bigger gears than the Tatula family has ever seen before providing the power and torque big bait anglers require for heavy resistance lures and fighting giant fish.Features:Reinforced Oversized GearingAluminum Frame and Side PlateCorrosion Resistant Ball Bearings T-Wing System Level WindUltimate Tournament Drag110mm Swept HandlePlus-Sized Soft Touch Handle KnobsMatte Black Finish

Great nearshore bait caster
I bought this bait caster for nearshore fishing for primarily triggerfish and vermilion snapper so I could feel the bite on the drop. The reel holds plenty of line for the 100 or so feet I use it in and has plenty of drag. Its also very smooth. The only downside is it is a little off balanced and wants to rotate over which isnt a huge deal but could be better.
Very Nice Reel
I am a former Shimano user. Now all my baitcasting reels will be Daiwa.
