DAIWA Tatula 80 Baitcasting Reel

The DAIWA Tatula 80 brings the performance and technology of the Tatula lineup into an extremely compact and lightweight baitcasting reel. Designed for anglers who prefer a smaller, highly palmable reel, the Tatula 80 is an excellent choice for finesse and lightweight bass fishing applications.

Built around a rigid aluminum frame and aluminum handle-side plate, the Tatula 80 keeps the gearing securely aligned while maintaining a compact feel in the hand. DAIWA's HYPERDRIVE gearing system provides smooth, efficient cranking performance and increased durability for season after season of fishing.

The reel features DAIWA's proven T-Wing System (TWS), which opens the line path during the cast to reduce resistance and improve line flow. A lightweight 32mm A7075 aircraft-grade aluminum spool provides low start-up inertia, helping the Tatula 80 cast lighter lures and baits with poor aerodynamics more efficiently.

DAIWA's Magforce magnetic braking system provides easy, dependable cast control, while the compact frame makes the reel comfortable for all-day fishing. A 90mm swept handle maintains plenty of leverage despite the reel's smaller overall size.

With 9.9 lbs. of maximum drag, the Tatula 80 is ideally suited for lighter line applications, including 10–12 lb. fluorocarbon or monofilament and 8–20 lb. braid. It's an outstanding choice for anglers looking for a compact reel for finesse Texas rigs, small crankbaits, jerkbaits, weightless plastics, small topwaters and other lighter presentations.
