This is an awesome reel for the price. I have $400 Shimano reels but, this reel will cast farther due to the way the pawl is designed to be totally dragless. I couldn't believe the lengthy casts this reel delivered fishing rivers for 50lb salmon and 25lb steelhead and the backbone of the reel is solid. My only con is that I wish I had found them before spending over $750 on two Shimanos! I have fished Alaska with these without any problems.

Had 3 already. This is my 4th. The SV TWS reels are great on windy days. Hard to backlash; easy to palm and use. Will probably buy more come summer.

Have used Diawa products for 35+ years. Smooth casting, evenly distributed line across the spool. Anti backlash feature is nice.

Great reel for the money. I use all shimano and daiwa reels. This tatula sv is right up there with the $200-$300 reels. Throws light tackle great, I fish weightless worms and flukes with this reel and no backlashes.

This is by far the best reel I have ever used. Super smooth cast. I set it up just like any other baitcaster. The first time out on the water and I didn't even get one bird nest. That's a first for me! Usually I get at least one. I have several Lews baitcasters and I also have some Abu Garcia's as well, not super cheap stuff. This reel blows these ones away. I do like the Abu Garcia's, not a fan of the Lews, but I was definitely made a believer in Daiwa! Now I just have to get a few more!
