Best Praise

“Shimano curado or daiwa tatula CT. I love my falcon HD rod (paired with daiwa tatula CT). Super light setup can throw it all day. My best friend throws the curado and it is nice too.”

Top Criticism
+2 pts
“My thoughts on Daiwa is the Shimano is better. I use both, but the Shimano definitely cast farther.  I’d go Curado MGL 150 over a Tatula SV everyday.”
