(Pre-Order) Daiwa 26 Tatula EX
Positioned above the renowned TATULA series, the new TATULA EX has been purpose-built for anglers demanding the next level in lightweight performance, refinement and technique-specific design. Developed exclusively for Australian conditions, every model features carefully tuned tapers and actions to maximise performance across the country’s most popular freshwater and estuary lure fishing techniques.
At the heart of the range is a premium SVF Nanoplus graphite blank, delivering exceptional sensitivity, rapid recovery and an outstanding power-to-weight ratio. Daiwa’s X45X Full Shield technology further enhances blank performance by dramatically reducing blank twist, resulting in greater casting accuracy, improved lure control and increased lifting power when fighting hard-pulling fish.
Selected models feature Daiwa’s advanced V-Joint Alpha technology, creating a seamless ferrule that maintains the smooth bend, strength and responsiveness of a one-piece rod while offering the convenience of two-piece construction. Completing the package is Daiwa’s latest ZERO SEAT reel seat, providing an incredibly direct connection between angler and blank for outstanding comfort, balance and bite detection throughout the day.
Purpose-built for Australian anglers, the TATULA EX lineup spans an extensive range of technique-specific models, from precision finesse applications through to heavy-duty barra, Murray cod and swimbait techniques. Combining advanced blank technology with refined actions and premium components, the TATULA EX delivers flagship-inspired performance for anglers ready to elevate their baitcast fishing experience.



Features

Through the use of nano resin control technology in the blank construction process, Nanoplus allows for increased graphite density to be achieved within a graphite rod blank.

X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting 8 jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

Daiwa's new reel seat concept that features a highly palmable design for ulitmate comfort and functionality in both spin, baitcast and overhead reels.


Lighter and stronger than its predessor, V-Joint Alpha features Bias construction that allows the rod joint to flex with the rod to eliminate flat spots and weakness in the ferrule joint.
