The Daiwa Tatula 80 boasts an aluminum frame and handle side plate, making it incredibly easy to handle. It also includes the renowned Magforce casting system on the non-handle side and Daiwa's Hyperdrive gearing system for a smooth and fluid rotation. With the T-Wing System level-wind, the line feed is optimized, and the 32mm 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum spool is lightweight yet offers improved inertia for casting lighter lures. Its performance is exceptional, even with lures that have poor aerodynamics. Additionally, the reel features a 90mm swept handle, which is consistent with most of the Tatula lineup. Despite its smaller size, this handle maintains the same comfortable rotation as larger reels.
