What are you using it for?
Jigs and heavy weeds go with the Tatula.
Open water the Fuego will work fine.

I would go with the Tatula then. Going cheaper in the slop will tear up a reel.
I would go with the best you can afford with frogs and slop.

Sounds good for me. I know a UB vendor that has them on sale and I must take advantage!

My man, they are the same exact reel. One uses the T Wing, which I dont care for unless you are gonna throw 20lb flouro or something like that. I personally would get the Fuego. Take the money you save on the reel and get some better spool bearings, and a levelwind bearing upgrade.

I had no idea that was the only difference.
My bad so the price difference is just the T-wing. Huh
Then I would go for the Fuego as the T-wing has not impressed me either.
I have the tatula ct and the t-wing is horrible for leader knots. Does anyone know if it's a direct swap to put the fuego line wind (with the hole) in place of the t-wing?

Havent tried it yet. As cheap as the Fuego is, you might as well buy the actual reel by the time all the fees are done with the labor.

I would do it myself. if the actual level wind is the same, I could just disconnect the bar that moves the t-wing, or so i'm thinking.

Let us know how you like it. I like mine but really love the Tatula svtw which is close to the same but with an SV spool.

Yeah, I think you are right. I imagine disconnecting the bar for the t-wing would only make it rotate whenever it wanted. Oh well.
I just bought a Fuego CT last night at Cabelas for $60. They are $69.99, plus if you bring in an old reel, you got another $10 off. I got a new reel and some kid will get an old, but trusty Zebco 33 to use!
At first glance it seems like a nice reel for the money. I'm going to use it for jigs and t-rigs. I did notice it has 6 bearings and the Tatula CT has 8, but if the 2 extra are in the handle, then I figured it's not a big deal.
Anyone now where the extra bearings are in the Tat CT? ~fff

In the knobs.
You can add 2 more bearings to the knobs, and also 2 to the levelwind. Im currently in the process of doing this to someones Tat SV.
And just yall know, I do have a Fuego CT on the way to me to play with. lo
