This was my first Diawa Tatula Type R purchase. It has been a great reel! Very easy to learn to use, lightweight, with plenty of stopping power. I have used the reel for bass fishing in Central Georgia and found it works great for casting lures, worms as well as pitching. Be sure to learn to use the magnetic drag and the spool tension knob to improve your casting ability-it's best to make adjustments based on what lure type you're using and what type of casting you're doing. There are great YouTube tutorial videos out there to help you. Good luck and good fishing!

This is a great reel. I looked at the CT model & felt the type r had some extra added features that made it worth a few more dollars. Glad I spent a few $ more. The reel is comfortable in my hand, casts smooth & far and with the right line seems backlash free. I'm using 14# mono and have yet to get a backlash. I'm sure I'll get one eventually but so far so good. Reel also looks sharp with red insert but it does scratch easily and I'm sure red will were off eventually. Overall I couldn't be happier with the reel and I would definitely recommend if you can still find them. I'm afraid Daiwa is going to discontinue in favor of the Tatula CT SV. Would be a shame.

Very smooth casting. Lightweight, fits in the hand nicely. Reeling in is also silky smooth and as fast as I'd want it.

This reel is nice and small, easy to palm. It casts easy. It's built nice and solid and is easy to make any adjustments. I would buy this reel again if I need another reel

This is an excellent reel. With the right rod anybody could learn to skip lures with this reel, very forgiving. Until I started using these I always had Shimano but I've switched to the Tatula for the braking system. Easier to dial in just what you need depending on the lure weight.
