Daiwa Tatula MQ LT 2500 FC & 3000 XH Finesse Spinning Reels
Daiwa is releasing two new finesse-focused models to its already proven Tatula MQ line of spinning reels: the Tatula MQ LT 2500 FC and 3000XH. The Tatula MQ LT 2500 FC is built on the 1000 size Zaion V MQ body for a lighter overall weight on the “Finesse Custom” design. It focuses on sensitivity but can still deliver long casts and quick retrieves when needed. The Tatula MQ LT 3000XH is for anglers who want finesse presentations but still need the muscle. A “Power Finesse” design, it’s built on the 4000 size Zaion V MQ body for more cranking power and stronger gearing. Perfect for fishing finesse right amongst structure and heavy cover. Both spinning reels feature the Airdrive design components for reduced overall weight while still not sacrificing durability.
Fishing Coverage on AllOutdoor:
- Greys Pace Fly Reel – Purposeful Design, Proven Performance
- Savage Gear 3D Pulse Tail Bluegill Line Thru Pro – Next Level Bluegill
- Berkley LipStick Shadd – Bridging Topwater to Subsurface
“Modern finesse fishing demands tools that are super-focused, not generalized,” said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. “By harnessing the gear stabilization of our ZAION V MQ chassis alongside the frictionless rotation of the upgraded ZAION V AIRDRIVE ROTOR, we have built an exceptional pair of reels. They eliminate rotational heavy spots and hand fatigue, ensuring perfect line control whether you are skating finesse baits or horsing fish out of deep cover.”
The new Daiwa Tatula MQ LT 2500 FC Finesse Custom and 3000 XH Power Finesse specialized spinning reels are available now through Daiwa retailers with an MSRP of $259.99 for each spinning reel.
