WHAT IS IT?
Daiwa Tatula SV100
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Offered in left-hand and right-hand retrieves with gear ratios of 6.3, 7.1 and 8.1, the Tatula SV 100 (2024 version) also includes more of Daiwa’s typically high-end technologies such as the performance-enhancing Hyperdrive System and the innovative T-Wing System, which reduces friction on the cast and manages line intake on the retrieve. Reels also boast Ultimate Tournament Drag, which employs carbon washers, alloy, stainless steel drag plates and special lubricant to avoid sticking at the drag’s start and provide stable drag pressure throughout the fight.
HOW DO I USE IT?
At its initial introduction, Daiwa presented the Tatula SV 100 as a reasonably priced baitcaster with broad applicability. Now, the company levels up this reel with an upgraded version featuring Daiwa’s patented SV BOOST System, previously found only in more costly reels. Central to this design, a proprietary spool and paired technology facilitates precision casting, even for the less skilled angler. By self-managing resistance throughout the duration of the cast, the reel practically eliminates backlash — a confidence builder that helps anglers relax and focus more on distance and/or precision.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Having seen more bird’s nests than the National Audubon Society, I can personally attest to the comfort level afforded by user-friendly tools and technology. Not every cast is a difficult cast and they don’t all have to air out your spool, but there’s plenty of need/opportunity to do just that. Trying to reach distant schoolers, presenting a bait to spooky fish in shallow water, maximizing your casting distance to cover as much riprap as possible. The Daiwa Tatula SV100 will help you do that so more of your focus directs toward the finer details.
