Daiwa Tatula MQ LT3000D Zaion Carbon Spinning Reel

The Daiwa Tatula MQ LT3000D Zaion Carbon Spinning Reel is a 3000 size spinning reel that picks up about 36.8 in of line per handle turn. It holds about 260 m of 10 lb or 200 m of 12 lb monofilament, or about 430 m of PE #1.2 or 230 m of PE #2 braid. That size covers inshore saltwater, smallmouth, walleye and bigger freshwater fish.

The Tatula MQ uses a one-piece monocoque body made from Zaion, Daiwa's woven high-density carbon resin, which is lighter than metal and very rigid. Without a separate side plate and screws, the body has more room inside for larger DigiGear gearing, which gives smoother, more durable power. The AirDrive rotor and AirDrive bail cut weight from the parts that spin, so the reel starts and stops with less effort.

Ball bearing supported Automatic Tournament Drag delivers smooth, consistent pressure, even on long runs. A machined aluminum screw-in handle with a soft-touch grip feels solid and stays comfortable. The 3000 fits medium and medium-heavy spinning rods for heavier line and bigger fish. Explore the rest of our fishing reels.
