Available in three gear ratios — 6.3:1, 7.3:1 and 8.4:1 — and in both left-hand and right-hand retrieve. Weight: 225g. Made in Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eT-Wing System (TWS)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe T-Wing System is Daiwa’s proprietary line guide design for baitcasting reels, and it is the defining technology of the Tatula TW series. A conventional baitcasting reel uses a small, circular level-wind line guide; as line exits the spool during the cast, it passes through this circular aperture, which restricts the line’s natural spread off the spool and creates friction. The T-Wing System replaces the circular guide with a T-shaped opening:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuring the cast\u003c\/strong\u003e: the T-wing opens to a wide aperture; as the spool rotates at high RPM and line exits rapidly, the line spreads off the spool lip in a wide cone; the T-shaped opening accommodates this spread without the line contacting the guide edges, dramatically reducing friction at the guide during the cast and improving casting distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuring the retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e: the level-wind mechanism closes to the narrow vertical slot of the T, engaging the line and guiding it back onto the spool in even, level layers as it does in a conventional level-wind reel; line is laid onto the spool evenly across its width to prevent uneven build-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical result of the TWS is reduced line friction at the guide during the cast compared to a conventional small circular level-wind aperture. This translates to longer casts with the same lure weight and less resistance at the guide that would otherwise limit the distance achievable on lighter lures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGear Ratio Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tatula TW 200 is available in three gear ratios to suit different lure fishing techniques:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.3:1\u003c\/strong\u003e: the slowest retrieve rate and highest retrieve torque of the three options; suited to deep-diving crankbaits, heavy swimbaits and large spinnerbaits where the angler needs retrieve power to work the lure’s resistance through the retrieve; also suits deep jigging where a slower, more controlled retrieve is needed to maintain lure depth and action; the most forgiving ratio for learning baitcasting technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7.3:1\u003c\/strong\u003e: the mid-range ratio and the most versatile; suits a wide range of lure types including soft plastics, medium hard bodies, jerkbaits and surface lures; fast enough for quick line pick-up between presentations and slow enough for lure control on slower techniques; the natural all-rounder choice for anglers who fish multiple techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8.4:1\u003c\/strong\u003e: the fastest retrieve rate; suited to techniques that require rapid line recovery — topwater walking lures where the angler works the lure tip-down with a fast retrieve and lifts the rod between strokes, frog fishing over surface vegetation where the angler needs to pick up slack line quickly after a strike, and skip-casting presentations in tight cover where fast line recovery keeps the lure moving away from structure after a strike; the highest ratio requires more handle torque per turn than the 6.3:1 and is best suited to lighter lure weights where the retrieve load is manageable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeft Hand vs Right Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tatula TW 200 is available in both left-hand retrieve (handle on the left side of the reel, the reel mounts with the handle to the left when the rod is held in the casting position) and right-hand retrieve. Right-hand retrieve is the conventional baitcasting configuration; left-hand retrieve allows right-handed anglers to cast with the right hand and retrieve without swapping the rod between hands, which is an efficiency advantage for high-frequency casting techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Daiwa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Tatula TW 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Baitcasting reel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine guide: T-Wing System (TWS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 225g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear ratios: 6.3:1, 7.3:1, 8.4:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrieve: Left hand and right hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Thailand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Daiwa","offers":[{"title":"Gear Ratio 7.3 \/ Left Hand","offer_id":67601091625134,"sku":"14:350850#Gear Ratio 7.3;200022261:201533808","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gear Ratio 7.3 \/ Right Hand","offer_id":67601091657902,"sku":"14:350850#Gear Ratio 7.3;200022261:201533809","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gear Ratio 8.4 \/ Left Hand","offer_id":67601091690670,"sku":"14:504#Gear Ratio 8.4;200022261:201533808","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gear Ratio 8.4 \/ Right Hand","offer_id":67601091723438,"sku":"14:504#Gear Ratio 8.4;200022261:201533809","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gear Ratio 6.3 \/ Left Hand","offer_id":67601091756206,"sku":"14:865#Gear Ratio 6.3;200022261:201533808","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gear Ratio 6.3 \/ Right Hand","offer_id":67601091788974,"sku":"14:865#Gear Ratio 6.3;200022261:201533809","price":364.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5592\/2350\/files\/Sbbb0c7f752f84a6494e29bcbd8b4c8635.webp?v=1790707076","url":"https:\/\/castngo.com.au\/it\/products\/daiwa-tatula-tw-200-baitcasting-reel-t-wing-system-225g-6-3-7-3-8-4-left-right-hand","provider":"Cast N Go","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
