Really like my Tatula 3000 MO LT, have had it for about 3 months and use it almost everyday. I have it paired up with a Tatula Elite AGS 7'4 rod. It even hauled in about a 15 pound carp on 10 pound braid that I was not fishing for.
I really like mine as well!
That’s a great looking spinning reel. I have the Tatula CT bait caster and thoroughly love it. Might have to pick up this reel to match the bait caster in my inventory. What rod would you recommend? Thanks for the info and the video.
The CT is a great reel! This is gonna be a good one too. I had it on a 6th Sense Custom USA spinning rod. That’s a higher end rod. The Lux spinning rod is a cheaper one that’s really good too
I have the 3000-CXH on a St Croix Premier 6'6" medium lite. I have a CT and did that same thing lol. They compliment each other very well.
Nice!
St Croix victory rod is an awesome pairing with this bad girl!
Finally! Been looking for feedback on these, do you have the ballistic MQ? I’d like to know if this would be better for bass fishing than the ballistic MQ due to this not having mag seal which actually would make the Tatula a smoother reel.
I don’t have the ballistic MQ, so I can’t say for sure. I’ve had the older Tatula LT and now this one, and they are both very solid. I think you’d be happy with this reel.
paired this reel up with a st croix premier rod and it is AMAZING
I’m not too familiar with the st croix rod but i do love this reel!
Nice review, I’ve been wanting to buy this reel and want to get a good discount, so any idea when the Omnia July code will work? It isn’t working for me yet.
I’m not sure. I’ll reach out to them tomorrow and see if I can get it active.
The July code should be good to go now.

My 16 year old loves his! 3000 weight and it’s handled everything he can catch with zero issues!
It’s a great reel for sure!
Hey man! I just bought the 7’2 Lux rod from the boys. I was looking at the OG Tatula LT, do you prefer the newer model?
I think they are very comparable. I’d buy the new one if i were you in case you ever have issues. That way parts may be easier to get. Probably won’t have problems, but better safe then sorry.
I’ve had a couple freak things happen where i needed to replace a spool, stepped on a reel and needed a new reel handle. Was able to get the parts fairly easily.
@@MattLunaFishing I actually have a secret parts/repair guy would that sway your decision
I’m just more drawn to the sleek black look but I don’t want to give up performance for aesthetics
I think they are comparable in performance
They are nice!
For sure. I’ll make another video once i get more time on n it!
Matt, I have 2 Daiwa BG's presently. Is this reel worth the extra money when one of the BG's craps out? Thanks!
To me it looks like the bg suits a different purpose. It was designed for saltwater. I’m not too familiar with the bg series overall. From what i understand saltwater specific stuff will be more sealed and water resistant than a freshwater reel. To get the seal and prove point down there may be certain features left out of a saltwater reel at the same price point as a freshwater. That’s just my speculation
@@MattLunaFishing I didn’t /don’t think the BG Series is designed for salt water. It’s a $110 reel and I’m pretty sure the Tatula is more $$$. I use my BG’s for freshwater bass fishing only. Thanks for the reply.
You’re welcome. I looked up the BG and that’s what i saw. I’ll send you the link: omnia.direct/VEAzag and then i also saw this one: omnia.direct/LY973l
I see that the BG model has both a freshwater and saltwater option
@@MattLunaFishing Okay, thanks. So, would you say the Tatula is worth the extra $$$ over the BG?
I haven’t used the BG myself for a direct comparison, but from the looks of it, I’d say yes. The MQ LT is lighter and a higher gear ratio. It also looked like the MQ LT has more features.
It seems like the 3000 size has a shallower spool than the 2500. My Tatula MQ LT3000-CXH holds 160yds of 8lb test and 110yds of 12lb.
Might just have different spool sizes depending on the model 3000 you bought. If i remember correctly i think they have a shallower and deeper spool model.
@@MattLunaFishing Yes the 3000-CXH has the "shallow" spool and The D model has the deep spool. It seems like the deeper spool is standard and the only option for all of the other sizes. Either way, you can't really go wrong with these reels.
Agreed. The deeper spool versus shallower is ultimately personal preference!
Which is better for value? Fuego lt 23' or tatula MQ 23' ?
Hard to say. Haven’t used the Fuego LT. The tatula mq is solid i know that for sure. Often there’s a reason why there’s price differences.
the handel have a bolt for change a knob ?
Yes
It threads direct to the drive. No screw/bolt.
Drive gear zink or alloy?
I’m not sure. Didn’t look up that info.
I have a Tatula LT and love it. I have 9 LT models and they all have been great. I have no plans on buying any of the MQ series. They are basically not serviceable unless by Daiwa. They will not service a jdm reel in the states. Their magseal already made things difficult. Now they went all in by not only needing special tools, but different special tools for different models. They're just saying they don't value customers, only their dollars. Hard pass. I will buy other makes or the LT series reels.
they went back to wire bail like my 50 dollar reel for a reel this price point?
Not sure what you’re referring to but the bail doesn’t do much for performance….
Not a fan of the new bail wire
This or Stradic FM?
I’ve never used a stradic to compare
Дайва обленились. У них на Caldia 21 LT, Salamandura 22 LT, Tatula 23 LT - одинаковые шпули, только цветом отличаются. Раньше и рельеф шпуль меняли в зависимости от модели.
Handle has too much play slop. Had to shim it.
I havent noticed any of that with mine
@@MattLunaFishing It's there. Trust me. I have two and all the ones in the store, all have it.
I’m not sure what you’re comparing it to but it feels pretty much like all my other reels
@@MattLunaFishing I think maybe you are looking at the handle shaft connection to the reels main drive shaft? That's fine.
What I'm referring to is the plastic handle where your fingers hold the handle. A lot if you pull it away from the reel or press in.
I've shimmed it so now it's perfect, but many reels have that even all my Stella's and Stradics and all my Daiwa come that way, it's just how they come.
I put Gomexus Titanium handles on all of them anyways as the plastic handles after time get gummy or stuck or wear down. 😊
They are supposed to provide washer with your reel handle to
Stop the play in the handle so
Stop complaining and read your manuals and add the washers and bam oh my gosh Miss Molly moss the handle play is gone 😊
When would apply the washer are you suppose to right out the box I was wondering why my 13 fishing spinning reel came with them I never had them come with a reel before and I have this reel being delivered today
@@markstrain4429 yes sorry had a bad day that day and yes out of the box before you put the handle on make sure to put a washer provided and the
Handle should
Smarten up
