DAIWA Tatula 642LFB-BF

The Next Evolution Bass Rod — TATULA
A world-standard bass brand: TATULA

A high-performance model that elevates every fundamental aspect of bass fishing—casting performance, sensitivity, hook-setting, and landing power—to an exceptionally high level.
A lineup designed to conquer Japanese fishing fields, offering wide versatility from shore fishing to boat fishing.
Built with an ultra-high-density SVF blank that delivers class-leading performance beyond its price range.
The range focuses primarily on 1-piece rods (grip-joint construction), with popular models also available in 2-piece (center-cut) versions.
Distinctive TATULA styling that stands out while maintaining a sharp, refined appearance.

DAIWA Technologies

SVF Carbon

By reducing resin content even further than HVF, SVF carbon densely packs more carbon fibers to achieve lighter weight, greater power, and a slimmer blank profile.
Not applied to models 661MLRB-G and 701MFB-G.

X45

Through extensive research, DAIWA determined that suppressing rod twist most effectively requires carbon bias layers oriented at ±45°, in addition to conventional 0° and 90° structures.
The X45 construction dramatically reduces torsional distortion during casting, action, hook-setting, and fighting, resulting in major improvements in power, control, and sensitivity.

AIR SENSOR SEAT

The carbon-fiber-reinforced Air Sensor Seat provides light weight, high strength, and excellent sensitivity.
Each seat is purpose-designed for its specific application, delivering control that cannot be achieved with generic reel seats.

• Baitcasting: Blank-Touch Trigger
• Spinning: Slim-Fit design

MEGA TOP

MEGA TOP is a carbon solid tip with fibers and resin evenly dispersed, allowing uniform bending in all directions. Compared to conventional carbon solid tips, it offers significantly higher strength, enabling the creation of thin, flexible, high-taper tips with outstanding tactile and visual bite detection.
Applied only to models 6011ULXS-ST and 6012ULXS-ST.

V-JOINT

By using a bias-structured carbon sheet at the joint section, V-JOINT delivers a smooth, one-piece-like bend with minimal distortion. Compared to non-equipped models, it greatly improves power, stiffness, and recovery speed, creating a more ideal rod action.
Applied to 2-piece models only.
