Compact, highly palmable, and perfect for any light line baitcasting application, the Daiwa Tatula TW80 Baitcasting Reels offer exceptional all-day fishing comfort and smoother-than-ever operation. Built around a rigid all aluminum 80-sized frame and sideplate, the Tatula TW80 offers the compact size of a finesse baitcaster with versatility similar to its 100-sized counterpart. A familiar feature to the Tatula family, Daiwa's signature T-Wing System reduces the constriction of line flow caused by traditional line guide/level wind systems by delivering a T-shaped line guide that is larger, wider, and less restrictive. TWS allows line to exit freely from the spool with minimal line angle and minimal friction, thereby reducing line noise and backlash, and delivering more accurate and longer casts. This feature, coupled with the esteemed Magforce magnetic braking system and a super light 32mm 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum spool allow for trouble free casting across a wide range of techniques and lure types. New to the list of features is Daiwa's Hyper Drive Design gearing system for the ultimate smooth cranking and fluid-like rotation. The Hyper Drive Design concept takes a four-pronged approach that includes redesigned gearing for a smoother and more efficient transfer of power, along with enhanced support features to resist torque and preserve internal alignment. The Tatula TW80 is perfect for the angler who enjoys the compact feel of smaller baitcasters but doesn't wish to be confined by a reel limited to "finesse" or "BFS" techniques.
Hyper Drive Design Technologies:
- Hyperdrive Digigear - a brand-new gear design makes the teeth of the gears more efficient at transferring power, therefore making the gear set feel smoother, more powerful and also reducing gear noise.
- Hyper Double Support- a two bearing support system for the reel's pinion gear means no flex and an ultra-smooth retrieve and gear rotation.
- Hyper Armed Housing - the reel features an aluminum frame and sideplate for maximum rigidity and precision performance of the internal components.
- Hyper Tough Clutch - a redesigned and reinforced clutch mechanism increases durability and performance.
