Daiwa - 24 Tatula TW 100XHL

The 24 Tatula TW 100XHL is Daiwa's third-generation Tatula low-profile baitcaster, the first in the series built around their Hyperdrive Design platform and rated for saltwater use. With an 8.1:1 gear ratio pulling 86cm of line per handle turn, it suits anglers who need to pick up slack fast — working stickbaits and hard-bodies for kahawai and kingfish off the rocks or from the boat, or casting lures at trout and freshwater species. The 34mm super-duralumin spool handles lures from around 5g up to roughly 110g, so it covers everything from small plugs to big baits.

• Hyperdrive Design – A package of gearing, support and housing upgrades aimed at keeping that out-of-the-box smoothness going season after season.
• Hyperdrive Digigear – Larger gear teeth with improved mesh for a strong, smooth retrieve that holds up under load.
• Hyper Armed Housing (aluminium frame) – A rigid metal frame supports the internals under pressure, so the reel keeps its winding feel when a fish is pulling hard.
• Hyper Tough Clutch – Insulated clutch construction built to resist salt seizing, a real benefit for anglers fishing the coast.
• T-Wing System (TWS) – The line guide opens up on the cast to cut friction, giving longer casts, faster falls and fewer backlashes.
• Magforce-Z brake and Zero Adjuster – Stronger braking early in the cast and lighter late, with spool play set once so you can control lures from the mag dial alone.
• 90mm aluminium crank handle with I-shape power knob – Comfortable leverage for long days of casting and winding.
