New Daiwa Tatula SV103 Limited Edition Baitcaster

The new Tatula excels for all-around bass fishing with cool new design and features

Cypress, CA (October 4, 2021) – Manufactured in limited quantities, the Tatula SV103 Limited Edition baitcaster is loaded with features that anglers will find advantageous to diverse bass fishing scenarios. Much like a limited edition automobile, the Tatula SV103 Limited Edition is the race car of the Tatula SV Series with cool aesthetics and deluxe features. In-house at Daiwa a team of designers and product development team focused on both the look and operation of the reel to bring fans of the Tatula family a special option unlike any other reel to date. The goal was to keep the Tatula family cool, innovative, and alive. That has most certainly been accomplished with this gem of a baitcaster.

“Building on the ever popular Tatula SV103 design, the Tatula SV103 Limited Edition is truly a special reel,” says Marc Mills, Daiwa Field Marketing Manager. “It’s loaded with deluxe features and is really a one-of-a-kind reel designed with the Tatula fan in mind.”

“It’s a specialized version of the ever popular Tatula SV. First, it features a special limited silver paint. The inline and standard Tatula SV has an aluminum frame but a graphite side plate. With the Limited Edition Tatula SV103, you have an all-aluminum frame and side plate. What we’ve also done differently is added in an ultra-light carbon fiber handle and Daiwa ZAION vented handle knobs. ZAION is Daiwa’s patented carbon fiber that is used in many reels for frame and rotors. It’s extremely lightweight and extremely rigid. In the past we’ve used just a graphite star drag; in the Limited Edition Tatula SV103 we feature an aluminum anodized brilliant blue star drag and caps for better durability and improved appearance. All-in-all, the reel received a special appearance change. There are a limited number of these to be sold for a limited amount of time,” offers Mills.                                                      

The Tatula SV103 Limited Edition has all the standard features that have made the Tatula SV so popula. For example, it features the T-Wing System (TWS) for long, effortless casts and the SV spool for even and articulate spool control.

“Ultimately, the Tatula SV103 Limited Edition is a special version of the Tatula SV that adds many advantages both in appearance and operation,” adds Mills.

The Tatula SV103 Limited Edition is available in right- and left-handed versions in one 7.1:1 gear ratio.

For freshwater anglers seeking to get out of the norm and wanting a precision baitcasting reel, look no further than the Tatula SV103 Limited Edition, a reel engineered with advanced technology and constructed of the finest and most durable materials available.
