"The bigger brother of the new TATULA SV100, the new TATULA SV TW 150 is geared for the power-fishing crowd, introducing them to SV spool technology and HYPERDRIVE DESIGN in a mid-priced baitcaster," said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. "They will appreciate how the upsized reel casts and controls bigger baits like swimbaits, deep crankbaits, bladebaits, and smaller A-rigs. The TATULA SV TW 150 is stud when the battle is on, too."

Energized by SV (Stress-Free, Versatile), the TATULA SV TW 150 yields the ultimate castability with a heavier line. "Bassers who spool 50- and 60-pound braid will notice the improved casting distance compared to their current reels," said Martin. "The spool is sized to accommodate more and heavier line, too." Users of monofilament and fluorocarbon will notice the significant line capacity as well.

Beyond providing a jolt to casting distance, SV technology virtually eliminates backlash. By design, spool speed is managed at the onset of a cast - where backlash is most common - and then allows the spool to accelerate as the bait continues its launch sequence. The precision combination of control and increased velocity yields longer casts that don't start as a bird's nest. The performance lends confidence to baitcaster-beginners and will knock the socks off veteran bassers.

The TATULA SV TW 150's second significant feature-set is HYPERDRIVE DESIGN. Once limited to more expensive models, DAIWA employed "trickle down technology," bringing HYPERDRIVE DESIGN to the TATULA SV 150. HYPERDRIVE DESIGN consists of the HYPERDRIVE ARMED HOUSING, HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR, HYPERDRICE DOUBLE SUPPORT, and HYPERDRIVE TOUGH CLUTCH. Read more about each element below.

In summary, DAIWA's new TATULA SV TW 150 is a powerhouse baitcasting reel that minimizes backlash, casts for distance with control, and will be welcomed by new and experienced anglers alike.

TATULA SV TW 150 key features and technologies:

SV Technology

The SV (Stress-free, Versatile) Spool was developed with one thing in mind: casting control. The design of the spool, as well as how the spool interacts with the braking system, gives maximum control on the cast while improving casting distance. No backlashes. Longer casts.

Hyperdrive Armed Housing

A distortion-proof aluminum frame steadfastly houses the gear unit within the reel body. The concept comprises a combination of different manufacturing techniques, which considerably improve the functioning and lifespan of the reel.

Hyperdrive Digigear

A technology that makes gear teeth more efficient at transferring power, resulting in a smoother, more powerful gear set that also reduces gear noise. The gears are also strengthened by larger teeth in the traction wheel. And, the gearing has three points of contact - most gearing has only two - which keeps contact between the gear teeth, creating smoothness and longer gear life.

Hyperdrive Double Support

The pinion gear is mounted via a ball bearing at both sides, leading to a better and more even powered transmission from the handle. Also, the surface of the pinion gear is specially treated to prevent electrostatic corrosion.

Hyperdrive Tough Clutch

The clutch mechanics have been optimized to remain safely in position even on hard casts.

T-Wing System (TWS)

An innovative "T" shaped mechanical aperture that the line passes through when casting and retrieving baits, which allows the line to flow freely, reducing friction and sharp angles that slow line flow. TWS is unique to DAIWA baitcasting reels.

Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD)

The sophisticated drag system uses carbon washers, alloy, stainless steel drag plates, and special lubricant to provide smooth performance. UTD prevents sticking when dragging starts and stable drag for the duration of fighting a fish.

Zero Adjuster

The spool tension knob comes ideally preset at the factory to match the model and reduce backlash when casting into the wind, skipping baits, or with lighter lures. However, anglers can fine tune the spool tension to their personal preferences.

90mm Swept Handle

The handle is kept tight to the frame for added power and making it easy to quickly locate.

MSRP $219.99

The perfect pairing

The new TATULA SV150 matches ideally with the TATULA Elite and TATULA Elite AGS rod series', particularly Medium and Medium-Heavy baitcasting models.
