Daiwa Tatula 2019 spinning reel for lure fishing

I am looking for a Daiwa Tatula spinning rod in the classic 2019 design featuring a spider motif on the blank. This is a high-quality spinning rod from a well-established brand, highly regarded by many anglers for its powerful yet flexible action and exceptionally attractive design.

 

As the user guide for this model is written in Japanese, many websites suggest it is a version designed for the Japanese market; however, in reality, these are simply different model variants.

Daiwa Tatula 2019 Edition

 

Before delving into the technology behind this 2019 Daiwa Tatula rod, let’s take a look at how many models of the Daiwa Tatula lure rod are currently available on the Vietnamese market

 

1. Daiwa Tatula 2019: this version, distributed officially in Vietnam, is available only with a vertical reel; there is no version with a horizontal reel

2. Daiwa Tatula 2013: Featuring the 2019 design with a black and gold rod blank and a Daiwa Zero G reel seat; view here.

3. Daiwa Tatula Traveller 4-piece rod: retains the design style of the 2019 model but is compacted into four sections; view here.

 

 

Daiwa Tatula 4-piece Traveller 2020

 

Daiwa Tatula lure rods are consistently highly rated by anglers for their appearance, quality and accompanying features. The Daiwa Tatula features a classic design true to the Japanese fishing rod tradition. Its key distinguishing feature is the spider emblem printed on the rod blank.

Most anglers who have used it have given positive reviews of this product, praising its striking and attractive design, superior strength and durability…

Furthermore, the Daiwa Tatula is equipped with a host of the brand’s cutting-edge technologies, such as SVF, HVF and X45. As a result, in the mid-range price bracket under 3 million, the Daiwa Tatula is considered one of the top choices. For lure anglers targeting snakehead fish who are looking for a rod that is reasonably priced yet offers quality on a par with high-end models, this ‘must-have’ product is certainly not to be missed.

 

1. Daiwa Exclusive SVF Graphite

 

The brand’s exclusive high-grade SVF carbon blank

The rod blank is made from SVF carbon (X45 bias). SVF stands for ‘Super High Graphite Volume Fibre’, meaning a type of carbon with an extremely high fibre density. A key feature of this technology is the reduction in resin content within the material, enhancing the bonding between carbon fibres through heat treatment and the reorganisation of fibre positioning within the blank, resulting in an ultra-rigid yet exceptionally lightweight and slender material.

Consequently, the Daiwa Tatula rod boasts exceptional load-bearing capacity. It offers very high flex and elasticity, whilst minimising torsional twist. Its highly sensitive and effective vibration transmission provides anglers with the most authentic fishing experience.

 

2. Fuji Alconite Guides

The Daiwa Tatula rod is fitted with a set of ‘premium, high-quality, smooth’ Fuji ceramic guides, crafted from the high-grade Alconite material. The ceramic coating is polished to a smooth finish; when exposed to strong, direct light, it takes on a blue hue. This minimises friction, provides significantly better protection for the fishing line and also helps to reduce the rod’s weight.

3. Premium Fuji Reel Seat

This series of reel seats is made from high-grade stainless steel, making it highly resistant to corrosion and the effects of salt. Not only that, but it is also extremely robust, capable of withstanding heavy impacts and boasting a very long service life, remaining durable and attractive over time. The reel seat features a protective plastic guard.

4. Graphite Construction Technology

 

(SUPER HIGH VOLUME FIBRE)

This technology provides the rod blank with a superior carbon structure, combined with a high density of carbon fibres. Consequently, the Daiwa Tatula rod is on a par with any other rod in its class in terms of stiffness. Furthermore, it ensures the rod has greater durability and exceptional sensitivity.

 

X45 Bias Carbon Structure (X45® Bias Graphite Construction)

The X45 bias carbon structure consists of three layers:

 

• An innermost layer of 90° helical carbon
• The middle layer consists of three layers of carbon fibre wrapped around the rod’s length at 0°.
• The outermost layer consists of two layers with a criss-cross structure in opposite directions, forming a 45° angle.

This gives the rod superior elasticity and better rebound from all directions. It completely eliminates torsional twist when the rod is under heavy load.

5. MICRO PITCH BLANK TAPING

The manufacturer has equipped this rod with the ultra-modern MICRO PITCH BLANK TAPING technology to enhance rigidity. This technology combines carbon and graphite fibres, with the two types designed to be interwoven. Consequently, the Daiwa Tatula rod is extremely lightweight and offers exceptional responsiveness.

The handle of this rod features a unique two-piece design with premium EVA foam padding (an exclusive Daiwa design), making it both comfortable to hold and significantly more secure in the hand.
