Is this reel, Daiwa's Tatula LT, the lightest ever spinning reel? The freshwater reel, made mostly for bass fishing, is in contention, certainly, one review in a magazine said. The lightest model of the reel weighs a half-ounce less than an iPhone X, it said. The reel is light because the frame is made from a carbon fiber named Zaion. Zaion features more carbon fibers per square inch than the carbon in similar reels, making the material more rigid or less flexible. Another notable feature is a 6.2:1 gear ratio that’s faster, retrieving line quickly. Another review said anglers might be likely to buy this reel because of the price. The Tatula LT, retailing for about $189, is less expensive than other reels that are similar. Daiwa previously introduced two other LT reels, several Tatula bait-casting reels and some Tatula rods to match the reels. For more of the reel's specs, visit Daiwa’s website. |
