The Daiwa Tatula 60th Anniversary Elite Bass series is a limited commemorative release celebrating Daiwa's 60th anniversary, built on the same Tatula Elite platform used by Daiwa-sponsored tournament bass anglers. The series serves serious tournament and enthusiast bass anglers who want technique-specific performance in a collectible format, with 60YA cosmetics distinguishing these rods from the standard Tatula Elite lineup.
Both rods use SVF Nanoplus super-volume-fiber blanks with X45 bias-wrap reinforcement, the same blank technology as the broader Tatula Elite series. SVF Nanoplus delivers reduced blank weight relative to earlier Tatula generations while X45 wrapping counters torsional twist during casts and hooksets. Fuji Alconite guides and an Air Sensor graphite reel seat carry through from the standard Elite line.
Construction is 1-piece casting throughout. The two-rod lineup covers a jig/Texas-rig casting model at 7'3" MH fast (TTL731MHFB-60YA, 10-25lb, 1/4-1oz) and a finesse/drop-shot spinning model at 7'3" M fast (TTL731MXS-60YA, 4-12lb, 3/64-3/8oz). Both are the same length; power and intended technique separate them. Price aligns with the premium Tatula Elite tier.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
MH power with 1/4-1oz lure range covers jigs, Texas rigs, swimbaits, and bladed jigs. The 'B' suffix in the model code indicates a flipping-style butt section, adding leverage for punching heavy cover or working big reaction baits where a standard gripping position would be too short.
Designated as a spinning model despite the casting rod handle code; M power with 3/64-3/8oz range is built for finesse techniques, drop shot, Neko rig, and light shaky-head presentations. Light lure range and 4-12lb line rating confirm a finesse spinning application suited to clear water and pressured fish.
