I’m looking to buy 2 Tatula’s, 1 for squarebills and 1 for lipless baits. Which reel would be your recommendation and why? I’m still new to Daiwa and not sure if I should get a 150, 200, or SV?

I use original Tat 100s in the 7.3:1 ratio for chucking these. I don't use an SV because i want the extra spool capacity and the lures are heavy enough that the "no-backlash" feature of the SV isn't really required. I don't have a 150 or a 200 but if I were to buy one it would probably be for chucking a lipless.

For those I would go with the new Tatula 100, no need for a 150 or 200 size reel unless you are throwing 20lb test. The new Tatula 100 is lighter and more comfortable than the 150 or 200 since those are the original Tatula frame. The sv is great for squarebills, and I’ve never spooled one even while using 1/2 and 3/4 oz Swimbait with 15lb test. Also if casting a squarebills into the wind it is nice with the sv, also for some of the under 3/8oz squarebills. 200 would be way overkill I think, 150 you could do no problem, it I personally think the 100 or sv would be better options, maybe sv for squarebills and either 100 or 150 for lipless.
