DAIWA’s versatile 2025 TATULA X TW 100 baitcaster provides legacy TATULA efficiency at a worth that’s proper for the occasions
FOOTHILL RANCH, CA (August 25, 2025) – We’ve talked about “trickledown expertise” earlier than. However given latest revelations within the TATULA assortment, a refresher is so as…
In DAIWA-speak, trickledown expertise means sharing options and improvements with inexpensive fashions that have been as soon as reserved for the higher crust. By manufacturing efficiencies, these parts trickle all the way down to inexpensive fashions, the top-shelf fashions taking up novel design developments and traits that didn’t exist earlier than – innovations. However that’s to not say the established applied sciences are actually out of date. Actually, fairly the other. Now they’re now simply extra inexpensive…
Think about the brand new 2025 TATULA X TW 100, the least costly mannequin within the TATULA reel household. It maintains the collection’ key genetic constructing blocks and is priced with a sharpened pencil. “It’s a fairly particular baitcaster at its worth – actually, any worth,” stated DAIWA Area Advertising Supervisor, Chris Martin.
The centerpiece of the brand new TATULA X TW 100 is DAIWA’s storied HYPERDRIVE System, beforehand discovered on solely dearer fashions. “Our HYPERDRIVE System is a collection of superior applied sciences that improve general efficiency, sturdiness, and smoothness,” stated Martin. “It begins with our HYPER Armed Housing – a sturdy, light-weight, precision tooled, and corrosion-resistant aluminium body and sideplates that present a forcefield for our well-known HYPDERDRIVE DIGIGEAR.”
HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR grants a 3 level interplay between the pinion and drive gear to offer steady gear contact, unfold the load to get rid of chatter, and prolong the lifetime of the reel. Apart from the TATULA X TW 100, three-point gear contacts are in any other case unprecedented at this worth.
The brand new TATULA X TW 100 additionally options DAIWA’s iconic and patented T-Wing System (TWS), which was launched over 20 years in the past and stays the business benchmark, by no means bested. “The T-Wing mechanism lets line circulation freely on each the forged and retrieve,” stated Martin. “It’s very cool to now supply T-Wing at such a cushty worth.”
A jack-of-all-trades and master-of-them-all, Martin says the TATULA X TW 100 is an adaptable, basic objective baitcasting reel. “It may be used for all the pieces from shallow cranking and bladebaits to topwaters and pitching jigs. And DAIWA provides the reel in three gear ratios, too, so you possibly can drill down into lure teams and strategies.”
Martin suggests the decrease 6.3:1 gear ratio for shallow working crankbaits, squarebills, Texas-rigs, and different mushy plastics. He says the 7.1:1 midrange, multipurpose gearing is sweet for ChatterBaits, swimbaits, and topwaters. And Martin endorses the upper pace 8.1:1 gearing for floor frogs, buzzbaits, swimbaits, punching, and different strategies that require a quick consumption of line.
Martin closed by saying, “At a time whenever you stare into the buying cart and query what you get to your cash, inside one small field, the brand new TATULA X TW 100 guarantees your cash’s value.”

THE PERFECT PAIRING
Fairly straightforward choosing a rod when it shares the identical spidery TATULA mark. And it makes monetary sense after they share the identical $149.99 retail worth. Sure, that may be DAIWA’s TATULA Bass Rod collection. The 28 mannequin collection embrace 18 technique-specific baitcasters, simplifying the choice course of.
The noticeably light-weight TATULA Bass Rods sport a cork split-grip for management and casting energy, whereas the uncovered clean part provides sensitivity. The rod’s premier Fuji Ok-Collection guides are constructed of Fazlite – a brand new information materials with glorious hardness, conductivity, and bend energy. The clean is designed with DAIWA’s X45 with Bias Wrap Building, which radically improves rod energy and sturdiness by eliminating twist and stopping the clean from shedding its spherical type. The elimination of this twist permits for a lighter, stronger, extra highly effective, and delicate rod.
TATULA X TW 100 FEATURES:
HYPERDRIVE ARMED HOUSING and SIDEPLATES
A distortion-proof aluminum body that securely encases the gear unit throughout the reel physique. This strong housing ensures the gears stay exactly aligned, enhancing the reel’s efficiency, sturdiness, and longevity below stress.
HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR
A sophisticated DAIWA expertise that makes gear tooth extra environment friendly at transferring energy from the deal with to the spool, leading to a smoother, extra highly effective gear set that additionally reduces gear noise. The gears are additionally strengthened by bigger tooth within the traction wheel. HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR additionally options three factors of contact – most gearing has solely two – which maintains fixed contact between the gear tooth, leading to a smoother operation, improved cranking energy, and longer gear life.
HYPERDRIVE TOUGH CLUTCH
DAIWA’s redeveloped and strengthened clutch mechanism is engineered to be extra sturdy, stronger, and extra dependable than earlier variations, guaranteeing constant efficiency even below heavy use or harsh situations, comparable to saltwater fishing. It offers a crisp and satisfying engagement with an audible click on and is designed to face up to 1000’s of casts with out failure.
T-WING SYSTEM (TWS)
DAIWA’s revolutionary “T” formed mechanical aperture that the road passes via when casting and retrieving permits the road to circulation freely, decreasing friction and sharp angles that sluggish line circulation. When the clutch is disengaged for casting, TWS pivots to a large, open place, permitting line to spool off with minimal friction to cut back backlashes and allow longer, extra correct casts. Throughout retrieval, TWS pivots again to a narrower place, guiding the road evenly onto the spool to stop tangling and guarantee constant packing for subsequent casts.
ZERO ADJUSTER
The spool rigidity knob comes ideally preset on the manufacturing unit to match the mannequin and scale back backlash when casting into the wind, skipping baits, or with lighter lures. Nevertheless, anglers can positive tune the spool rigidity to their private preferences.
LC (Lengthy Forged) Idea
DAIWA’s LC Idea focuses on enhancing casting distance via a specialised spool design, lowered friction, and optimized braking. The casting system prioritizes light-weight building, giant spool diameters, and particular spool geometries to maximise casting effectivity, particularly through the last levels of the forged, and is engineered to be used with midsized to giant lures.
ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT DRAG (UTD)
A sophisticated drag system designed to offer clean, constant, and highly effective drag efficiency. UTD employs an excellent high-density woven carbon drag washer system impregnated with specifically designed grease. This ends in minimal startup inertia, clean drag effectivity, and lowered threat of line breakage or hook pull throughout sudden strikes. UTD permits for setting larger drag pressures with out compromising smoothness or risking line failure.
MAGFORCE Z
A dynamic braking system, which makes use of a movable inductor rotor that adjusts its place relative to the magnetic area primarily based on spool pace. At excessive spool speeds (e.g., through the preliminary forged), the rotor strikes nearer to the magnets, rising the brake pressure to stop overrun and backlash. Because the spool slows, the rotor retracts, decreasing brake pressure for longer casts. The spool options straight partitions, permitting larger line capability for heavier traces and greater baits.
100mm SWEPT HANDLE
Designed to boost cranking energy, consolation, and aesthetics, DAIWA’s signature curved deal with form improves ergonomics, offering higher leverage and a extra snug grip in comparison with customary straight handles.
