DAIWA’s versatile 2025 TATULA X TW 100 baitcaster

 DAIWA’s versatile 2025 TATULA X TW 100 baitcaster offers legacy TATULA performance at a price that’s right for the times

Consider the new 2025 TATULA X TW 100, the least expensive model in the TATULA reel family. It maintains the series’ key genetic building blocks and is priced with a sharpened pencil. “It’s a pretty special baitcaster at its price – really, any price,” said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. 

The centerpiece of the new TATULA X TW 100 is DAIWA’s storied HYPERDRIVE System, previously found on only more expensive models. “Our HYPERDRIVE System is a suite of advanced technologies that enhance overall performance, durability, and smoothness,” said Martin. “It starts with our HYPER Armed Housing – a durable, lightweight, precision tooled, and corrosion-resistant aluminium frame and sideplates that provide a forcefield for our famous HYPDERDRIVE DIGIGEAR.”

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR grants a three point interaction between the pinion and drive gear to provide continuous gear contact, spread the load to eliminate chatter, and extend the life of the reel. Besides the TATULA X TW 100, three-point gear contacts are otherwise unheard of at this price.

The new TATULA X TW 100 also features DAIWA’s iconic and patented T-Wing System (TWS), which was introduced over two decades ago and remains the industry benchmark, never bested. “The T-Wing mechanism lets line flow freely on both the cast and retrieve,” said Martin. “It’s very cool to now offer T-Wing at such a comfortable price.”

A  jack-of-all-trades and master-of-them-all, Martin says the TATULA X TW 100 is an adaptable, general purpose baitcasting reel. “It can be used for everything from shallow cranking and bladebaits to topwaters and pitching jigs. And DAIWA offers the reel in three gear ratios, too, so you can drill down into lure groups and techniques.”

Martin suggests the lower 6.3:1 gear ratio for shallow running crankbaits, squarebills, Texas-rigs, and other soft plastics. He says the 7.1:1 midrange, multipurpose gearing is good for ChatterBaits, swimbaits, and topwaters. And Martin endorses the higher speed 8.1:1 gearing for surface frogs, buzzbaits, swimbaits, punching, and other techniques that require a fast intake of line.

Martin closed by saying, “At a time when you stare into the shopping cart and question what you get for your money, inside one small box, the new TATULA X TW 100 promises your money’s worth.”
