Lets see all them Daiwa's

Above is Tatula Type R with replaced spool (Hyper Long Cast), handle, cast control cap, metal drag star and golden T-Wing.

Ah I see. It must be a special edition Type R. I thought those only came in yellow. I like the gen 1 Tatula Type Rs. The one I have has held up really well and with the addition of a Ray's "long cast" SV spool it is reminiscent of my 19 Zillion SV when working weightless plastics in that it skips about as well and both can offer casts longer than I can set the hook on 12-14# Sniper. I like the flat top and shape of these reels from an aesthetics perspective. They're a handsome reel. All the rounded ones that come after look like weird eggs. I use mine as a kayak reel doing thing like hooking baits onto the reel and laying it down next to other reels on the floor of the kayak and that paint has been super durable.

The first gen tatula type-Rs do look very nice indeed.

Don’t know why, sometimes we just plain stupid, with 3 of the Alphas SV TW 800 and 800s I have, some how I spent the same amount with lesser reel.

Can't go wrong with a Gen 1 Type R. Especially if you can get your hands on the limited edition ones
