How much 20 # fluorocarbon will the Elite flip and pitch hold and how is it for casting. Roughly 80-100yds depending on diameter of line. It casts very, very well. The lower line capacity makes long range presentations something you have to consider if using it for more than P&F. It can be used for other presentations though.

I hate when someone starts an answer with it depends. But...
There are so many Tatula models that are better for different techniques. The new ā20 SV model is great. But so are the Elites. The Elites are very smooth.
If you want casting distance, Iād get the Elite. If pitching, the P/F; and skipping look at the SV.
I have all of the above and for normal Texas-rig, moving baits, I prefer the elite. The others are specialty purposes.

150s are hard to beat. I like them better than my 100s.

For casting distance get your hands on a Type R Try an Elite Long Cast. They will help you bomb a bait.

2020 Tatula Elite for long casts 2020 Tatula SV TW for controlled casting, the pre 2020 ones are great also but they are slightly larger in profile. Tatula CT is my favorite for moving baits. Tatula 150 HS I really like for my C-rig. I also have a Tatula 60 year anniversary reel that I like for throwing light weight baits like a baby brush hog on a Tx. rig, but I bought that one before the Elite was out.

If you can get your hands on a Steez, try that one out. You will love it also.

Thanks for all the info. I think that I will go with an Elite.

Haven't touched an elite...but I can say the newer Tatula SV TWS are killer. Have 3 of them and they are becoming my favorite reels quickly.

I have a few SV TWS and Zillion SV TW. Both are great reels . I have larger hands, so they fit well. I switch the spools out to ZPI spools, and they cast like a dream.
