DAIWA celebrates a diamond milestone with the 60th Anniversary Limited-Edition TATULA SV TW 100H/HL
FOOTHILL RANCH, CA (August 5, 2026) – Six decades ago, DAIWA introduced American anglers to a standard of engineering that would permanently reshape the sport of fishing. Today, that legacy of relentless innovation culminates in a special-edition release built for the true brand loyalist. DAIWA announces the 60th Anniversary Limited-Edition TATULA SV TW 100H/HL, an ultra-refined baitcaster that seamlessly blends six decennia of heritage with advanced low-profile performance.
Available in strictly limited quantities, this celebratory platform is instantly recognizable by its striking, liquid-silver cosmetics—a bespoke aesthetic honoring DAIWA’s deep American roots. But beneath that premium exterior lies a highly tuned, aggressive mechanical system built to orchestrate everything from lightweight finesse plastics to hard-pulling search baits with effortless precision.
In celebration of its diamond anniversary, DAIWA proves once again why it dictates the future of the sport.
The Anatomy of a Milestone
The soul of this commemorative machine revolves around the 32mm A7075 SV Boost Spool, anchoring DAIWA’s legendary SV Concept. Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the ultra-lightweight spool delivers exceptionally low start-up inertia, allowing anglers to skip, pitch, and launch versatile baits with unparalleled control.
“Reaching a 60-year milestone in the US tackle industry isn’t just about looking back—it’s about showcasing our best technology in a package that flat-out performs,” said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. “By marrying the SV Concept with the smart braking of SV Boost, we’ve created a highly adaptive system that completely mitigates backlashes, even when casting lighter lures into a headwind.”
Power Meets Precision
A celebration of durability requires an internal framework that refuses to compromise under pressure. The 60th Anniversary Limited-Edition TATULA SV TW 100H/HL incorporates DAIWA’s comprehensive HYPERDRIVE Design, anchored by the ultra-smooth HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR system.
“Every touchpoint of this reel is designed to exude quality, from the classic feel of the forged aluminum star drag to the custom ZAION handle knobs riding on a rigid 90mm swept handle,” said Martin. “The aluminum armed housing locks the gear train into perfect, permanent alignment. It’s an incredibly smooth, fluid rotation that doesn’t just feel premium out of the box – it ensures this collectible reel retains its high-performance edge for years to come.”
Designed to be a workhorse centerpiece for advanced power-finesse and target-casting strategies, the reel features a highly versatile 7.1:1 gear ratio. For anglers who demand total sensory feedback during the fight, DAIWA has integrated the UTD system with an audible Drag Clicker, transforming every hookset into a crisp, resounding experience.
Whether you are skipping a jig into dock pockets or burning a crankbait down a bluff wall, this 60th-anniversary edition is a collector’s item built to be fished hard, not parked inside a glass display case.
60th Anniversary Limited-Edition TATULA SV TW 100H/HL FEATURES:
SV (SUPER VERSATILE) CONCEPT (32mm A7075 SV BOOST SPOOL)
The gold standard in backlash prevention and multi-lure versatility. Machined from ultra-high-strength, aircraft-grade A7075 aluminum, this specialized 32mm spool features incredibly low start-up inertia. The SV Concept automatically manages line flow based on the weight of the lure, allowing anglers to transition seamlessly from heavy search baits to ultra-light finesse plastics without tedious brake adjustments, ensuring a flat, consistent trajectory and soft landings.
SV BOOST
An intelligent, automatic braking system tailored specifically for the SV spool dynamics. At the initial moment of the cast, the system applies the exact amount of magnetic resistance required to prevent peak-velocity overruns. As the lure stabilizes in flight, the brakes automatically downshift, reducing resistance to let the spool run wide open for maximum distance. In the final fraction of the cast, braking pressure drops completely so the lure coasts smoothly to its target.
HYPERDRIVE® ARMED HOUSING
A rigid, distortion-proof metal chassis that serves as an unyielding foundation for the internal mechanics. Built with a heavy-duty aluminum frame and a matching aluminum handle-side plate, this zero-flex construction eliminates twisting and flexing under maximum load, ensuring the internal gear units stay perfectly aligned for smooth power transfer even when winching hard-fighting fish.
HYPERDRIVE® DIGIGEAR™
A revolutionary evolution in gear architecture that redefines retrieve efficiency and durability. The gear set features a precision-machined tooth configuration with expanded contact faces to maximize surface area. This eliminates the traditional gear feel under heavy torque, resulting in a buttery, ultra-quiet, and effortless rotation that persists over long-term abuse.
HYPERDRIVE® TOUGH CLUTCH
A completely reinforced clutch mechanism engineered to withstand the relentless casting schedules of modern anglers. The internal mechanics have been thoroughly refined to ensure that the transition from free spool to gear engagement remains crisp, tactile, and completely secure, eliminating accidental mid-cast re-engagement.
TWS (T-WING SYSTEM)
Friction-free line management engineered to maximize casting distance. DAIWA’s exclusive T-Wing System utilizes an innovative, T-shaped line guide. On the cast, the line flows unrestricted through the wide upper section of the aperture, eliminating the harsh choke points and sharp angles that typically rob a lure of its forward momentum. Upon retrieve, the line drops into the lower groove for precise, level winding.
UTD (ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT DRAG) WITH DRAG CLICKER
An advanced, multi-washer drag system delivering up to 11 lbs. of ultra-smooth stopping power. By blending carbon washers, precision plates, and proprietary high-performance lubricants, the UTD system eliminates the initial start-up friction and stuttering that can lead to pulled hooks on light line. The integrated drag clicker provides clear, sharp audible feedback as a fish takes line.
MSRP $349.99
