Daiwa 23 Tatula Rod

Celebrating a 10 year anniversary in 2023, Daiwa’s TATULA rods receive a complete overhaul, elevating performance and reducing weight. Adopting a new SVF Nanoplus blank has been developed, reducing the weight and enhancing responsiveness compared to the previous model. Adoption of X45X Full Shield significantly reduces blank twist creating a rod blank that feels crisp in the hand.

A newly designed Daiwa exclusive reel seat is present on some models, producing a handle that is slimmer, lighter and more comfortable. Fuji’s lightweight LKW and KT Alconite guides outfit the rods perfectly, with adequately sized diameters to handle the heavy leaders often used when Barramundi or Murray Cod fishing.

A growing range, TATULA now encompasses everything from short traditional 6ft barra rods, through to carefully crafted technique-specific models like a 7’6” deep-cranking model for Australian Bass.

If a new baitcast rod is on your horizon anytime soon, the new TATULA range must feature on your list.

 

Features

X45X FULL SHIELD - X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

FUJI ALCONITE RING - A special type of ceramic that offers strength, lightness, and durability. Delivering 80% greater compression strength, and 20% lighter than aluminium oxide guides.

FUJI STAINLEES STEEL GUIDES - Light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant, Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia's harsh conditions.

SVF NANOPLUS - Through the use of nano resin technology, SVF Nanoplus blanks are lighter and have increased sensitivity over standard SVF blanks due to their higher carbon density.
