Daiwa Catalina TW 100P - A really good Dealeo on a top-shelf baitcasting reel, - but you gotta move FAST!

Pete....I know Kil mans the blackhole booth at the shows but is it a SHOW booth or does he sell from it? I forgot... thanks

Sells like a boss . . .

See my separate post re: the Ward Melville show.

Finally spooled up the Catalina with the Goshen and I am very happy. Sweet little package. Had a look-see inside before and dabbed a little yami blue here and there . For those that don’t upgrade reels the factory handle is not bad at all.

I am excited to get the pairing out on the water , just need to decide on what stick of mine to slap her on. Abu 4600s will now be delegated to boat visitor rods as I might pick up another Catalina or possibly a zillion and throw in the same gearing .

Pete and LG ...did the catalina take the entire gosen spool....I'm still waiting on my knobs🙁 china post SLOWWWWW

Yes, mine did.

thank you!

Gene - please review post #26 in this thread.

thanks for the guidance pete.....usually i take a reel apart and then give up and send it in for service telling them I took it apart for ya 🙂

Looks great, which handle length did you end up going with the 105/6 or the 120 cm ?

thanks...the handle is the same just swapped out the knobs

If anyone wants to sell me the original knobs...send me a PM 🙂

Hmmm, maybe . . . Let me think on it.

Is that the Tsunami Evict spinner?

Is that the Tsunami Evict spinner?

yes indeed!!

yes indeed!!

Very nice I picked one up too this winter.

I picked up the Catalina 7.3 over the winter and just deciding which rod to pair it with. I have Shimano Trevala S XXL and was thinking this should make a good fluke setup for the bay. What do you guys think will this combo work well?

Of course! What’s not to like there? Those Trevala S rods are considered best buys. Great value for what Shimano asks. And your new reel was as close to a steal as you’ll ever find.

Great I was hoping you would give this combo a thumbs up.

Back to my selection of Gosen 8X, here's a new vid from Nick/Tackle Advisors on Youtube discussing Gosen's next level up braid - 16X. He's all about this particular version. Wait til you hear the price!
