    New Daiwa Tatula Spinning Rods

    I was wondering if any of you guys have used the new Daiwa Tatula spinning rods with the cork grips. I'm looking at getting a new spinning rod for shaky heads, grubs, and other finesse tactics. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I have the 6'10" M and I love it for dropshotting,very light and sensitive.I also like the forward grip.

    I was really looking forward to getting the 7’ medium when I saw these new grips until I saw the length of the handle. 15 1/2 is too long for a forward grip like that.

    The new Tatula casting rod grips were too thick for my liking , I hope the spinning is better

    Any idea of how much that rod weighs ? I've been interested in picking up that model for drop shotting with a 1/4oz weight around weeds. I've got the 7'1 Heavy Jig and 7' Medium Topwater models both casting and really like them. Also what reel and hows balance with it ?

    Thanks
