Behold the new standard in spinning reels, DAIWA’s brilliantly-designed Tatula MQ LT. The new Tatula MQ LT embodies a rich features set, which starts with its one-piece MONOCOQUE ZAION V body. This design framework yields more space for larger gears, thus promoting increased torque and power from the get-go.

I've always been a Shimano go to for years, and always will be, but was looking for a 2000 light reel for jigging and Shimano just does not have it in this price range with a larger high gear for more torque. I was using a 2500 Ultegra but it's just too heavy for long days of jigging. Tried to use a Stradic 1000 and it works but feels underpowered and with 6lb it's not ideal.
Been using the Tatula 2000 model for inshore jigging with 6lb line and I can't fault it jigging for 5-6 hours non stop being so light. The only gripe is the handle has a tiny bit of play but nothing a shim can't resolve. I changed the handle to a black Titanium Gomexus with ceramic bearings and now it's perfect. I am critical of my reels and I have many including the 22 Stradic and Stella as well as other lower model Diawa's.
This is an extraordinary reel in how it feels. The shaft feels that it's spinning on air when turning the handle, something my other reels don't feel like. It's really an amazing feeling. The reel never has failed once in operation and is very light. Line management is excellent but need to add a washer to get the line lay to not taper on the top from how it came originally.
