Which of the Tatula reels is the best?

I have recently been on a bit of a reel buying binge. I have all I want right now except a Tatula. Which one do you guys think is the best?

Steez SV TW

I have a new Tatula SV TW that I got just a few days ago. I really like this reel. I can chunk a light bait a long ways. Threw it some into the wind yesterday, which I would never do with any other reel I have, and wasn’t punished for it.

I think the Tatula Elites and the 2020 Tatula SVs are the best so far. I love the Elite Pitch & Flip and tge Long Cast.great reels.

I have used the Tatulas since Day 1 when they were released 8 years ago or so. Tge current lineup seems tge best to me of the models.

I agree with Mark. I got 2 of the SV’s and now I need 8 more to finish out

The Tatula Elite P/F is amazing! One of the best, if not the best, I've ever used

I love the Tatula Elite which I've used for moving baits. Works especially well for very light squarebills, etc.

Has anyone used these with braid? I was thinking about using the Tatula Elite with my frog set up.

But I also want to add the Pitch/Flip model next.

I use a Tatula Elite Long Cast for my frog setups with braid. It does great. Gonna add the P&F handle to them

I have the Tatula SV TW that I bought this January and it is now my favorite.

I've got pretty much all tatula CT type r. Zero problems with them

shimano

SV TWS is great. It's my favorite.

What is the difference between tw and tws?

Tatula 150 TWS 5.5:1 for deep cranking and A Rigs

I think it is an awesome reel for my application.

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 ‘20 SV model is great. But so are the Elites. The Elites are very smooth.

If you want casting distance, I’d 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.

For casting distance get your hands on a Type R

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

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.

Picked up my Type R's for $80 each new in box. That's 1/3 the price of the Elite Long cast. Now if they cast 3x further then we might be on to something.

That is a great price for the Type R. They are very smooth and long casting as well.

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.
