Tavery5... I'll give you credit for a whole nickle. I hit the jackpot since you wrote that you have owned or used all the reels on my list. Specifically comparing your Tatula R to a Chronarch 50e... are they similarly sized on the reel and how do they feel to you during casting? The Chronarch 50e has a solid following "on the net" that claims it is the best reel in it's class at throwing light weight baits (1/4 oz and maybe slightly less) for distance, do you put the Tatula R "as good" or "better" in that comparison? Do you have a preference for which of these two baits better controls the cast of 1/4 oz baits? I may be getting up to a dimes worth with this interrogation.

To be fair, I owned the Curado 50e which is essentially the same reel. I liked it a lot and on the right rod it casted lighter baits down to the 1/4 oz range and even a little less very well.

The Tatula is a much bigger reel, it is similar in dimensions to the Daiwa zillion but feels a little larger. This reel is very good at casting baits in the 1/4 oz range and is surprising at how well it handles even 1/8oz baits. Several people who know me here know that I am an ABU guy, but Daiwa got things right when they produced this reel. Trust me when I say that TWS is for real.

I also wanted to add that Daiwa's Magforce z braking is superior to centrifugal for pure distance IMHO
