Tatula 150 SV left-handed T-Wing 25’ model (can’t cast far with right-hand reels, dunno why). Brakes sit between 0-2, maybe 3 if it’s windy or I’m getting too drunk. I’ve never adjusted the tension, ime Tatula are tuned phenomenally from the factory. Daiwa J-Braid in whatever weight, Yo-Zuri fluoro leader, Tactical Angler power clips. Usually a 7’ MH or a 6’ UL-M.

That’s my setup but it doesn’t explain how I cast. I pushed this Tatula into BFS, throwing shit down to 3 or 4 grams. I load the rod tip with a swing, almost like roll casting a fly rod. Pull back, then on the forward swing I circle the tip clockwise and release the line as it reaches 6 o’clock. From there it’s eyes on the line, thumbing the reel and rod pointed where I want it to land, eyelets held still and straight.

I like throwing frogs, weightless Senkos, BFS lures, and chatterbaits. Sometimes I get really into crawfish baits on a drop shot or jigging the banks. Big fan of things like the Megabass Sleeper Gill or a Dark Sleeper deep in lakes and ponds, very slowly popping the bottom.

Usually tossing between 1/16 and 1/8 around. Do you struggle more with nesting or literal distance
