Daiwa Tatula Casting Rod Review

The first thing that you need to decide when you are buying a fishing rod is the purpose that you have for it. Contrary to what many people tend to believe, there are quite a few different types of fishing styles. For instance, surf casting is a popular one which requires you to stand on the beach and cast the bait deep into the ocean. This is why the rods are usually strong, lengthy and heavier.

Fly-fishing, on the other hand, is the most dynamic type of fishing. You would be constantly casting and pulling the line, simulating the movement of a fly on the surface of a quick moving current. This is why your rod needs to be lighter and shorter.

For quite some time fly fishers have demanded a low profile bait-casting reel which manages to stand on top with something different. Finally, Daiwa managed to give the majority of enthusiastic fishermen what they are looking for in the face of Daiwa Tatula Casting Rod.

The Tatula series, in fact, is one of the best hits on the market in the recent years. It’s true that it is made in China and, yes, the price could be a bit steeper, but given the fact that you are getting a splendid amount of benefits, I think that it’s actually worth the investment.

Now, without any further ado, let’s dive right into the specifications which are truly worth your attention when it comes to it.

Apart from the regular shape, the thing that is important here is the material of the rod. Daiwa has managed to gone the extra mile in manufacturing a fishing rod using the proprietary SVF graphite with the X45 Bias Construction.

In case you are wondering what this means – it is going to guarantee flawless weight to balance ratio while at the same time maintaining high performance and perfect durability. In other words, this is a rod that you’d fall in love with quicker than you thought. Apart from that, the shape is quite convenient. It comes with the standard 8 guides and a tip.

After mentioning the splendid construction, it’s only natural to point out the benefits that it leads to. One of the best things about graphite is that it’s durable. However, unlike other materials, this one in particular ensures splendid durability without sacrificing the lighter weight of the rod. 

As we mentioned in the beginning, fly fishing requires you to be perfectly maneuverable. You will be swinging that rod constantly. Imagine if you were casting a heavy rod over and over again – you’d be done for it before you know it. The rod weighs 4 ounces and this is absolutely inconsiderable.

The balance is another very important component which needs to be accounted for when it comes to fly fishing. Balance and sensitivity go hand in hand. The sensitivity of your fly fishing rod needs to be perfect. This is due to the fact that it’s rather hard to see whether there’s a fish on the hook and you will be sensing it through the vibrations of the rod. 

Therefore, the more sensitive and well-balanced the rod is, the easier and quicker you’d be able to react.

This is one of the characteristic benefits of Daiwa’s blanks – they’ve always provided the perfect combination between balance and sensitivity.

This is a fast-action fly fishing rod designed to provide you with perfect casting capabilities. Don’t be worried that you will have hard times casting as the rod will enable you to land the perfect casts. This is going to enhance your overall performance and success ration – that’s for sure.

Conclusion:

Actually, this last con is not a significant disadvantage in this situation but we couldn’t manage to find something to complain about.

The product is perfectly well-rounded, it’s brought to you by an established authority in the industry and there’s not a lot more that you could ask for.

If you are looking for the perfect rod, this product is the closest that it gets to it. And, on top of everything else, it’s not nearly as expensive as you might expect it to be.
