I wonder if more people shop around for the best prices like we do or if there are still a lot of people that stroll into DSG etc and pay full price. My guess is the a lot of people are just going to but the Citica and not know any better.

I think that you will probably be safe with wake boarding but I would not just jump in and go swimming. Here is a pic of a little 10 footer that I took the other day while fishing.

This is the fourth biggest LMB on record that has been caught in Ga and it's still bigger than Florida's State Record of 17lbs 4 3/4oz.

I just did a search to find out what this reel looks like. To see if it looks anything like the Ardent Denny Brauer Fliipin Reel. Thank God it doesn't look like the flipping reel. I can't say what I think it looks like because this is a family oreintated fishing site.To answer your question.No, I have not tried it but if I wanted to blow a small amount on a reel and just take my chances, I would try to find a good deal on a Shimano Caius.

You said other recommendations so I would go to eBay and have a little patience and buy 3 or 4 new Curado's for under $130.00 apiece.

Nice reel Mike!

Have you checked out Hedgehog Studios? If you use an IPhone, you may have to click on 'PC Site' to see the dress up parts for Lews.

Bantam 1 recommends doing it this way.

I called Shimano and the guy that I talked to did not have a clue. This is a great question for Bantam 1 IMHO.

The same lures that you would use for bass and also cutbait. The last Mudfish that I caught was on a Bass colored Zara Spook.

Fuji makes a great Hook Keeper

I paid $264.99 apiece for both of mine from Fisherman Samurai on eBay. I know that I could have bought it cheaper but I took into account the sellers rating and how many negatives in a one month period and also shipping time and method. I ordered my first last Friday I think and it got here this morning and then I ordered another. Needless to say, I am one happy dude right now.

Green Pumpkin Trick Worm

Lizardfish have a reputation for attacking lures much larger than themselves and their little size doesn't match their bad attitude.

Get the old one now and the new one later. I have not used the new Ald yet but I just took delivery of an old model this morning and I am glad that I did. My only regret is that I waited so long to get one. I like it so much that I bought another one this morning.
