Swimbait fishing with a buddy he reties leaving a hell of alot of left over tag line. Clips the wrong one and threw a rof5 hud68 down the drain. Followed by a few words they don't teach in school.

I had a curado bantam cu 200. Casted very well. Drag was a bit sticky. A little big and bulky compared to the new stuff.

last week I changed my pre departure sequence a little bit. Forgot to put the plug in. Realized after 4 hours of fishing! Never even noticed

that was gonna be my next choice. I have that rod in e6x and imx and it's great

Extreme mission type f.

Typically I'd say no. One day this summer. I went out caught 3 all morning. Went back to the ramp to load the boat, and caught 4 off the ramp.

Yup. If you are serious contact lake fork taxidermy. It's a little steep. 350 for a 10 pounder. I think a little less for a smaller fish. But they do world class work

how did you end up doing?

All great answers. I don't drink at all anymore. But don't mind others having a few responsibly. reb67 said it best. Catching fish should come second to bonding with my brother in law... but I still plan on getting bit!

Another viable option is to buy a beefed up zebco 33 and put it on a 7 foot mh rod that I no longer use. I think it may be an easier transition to learn how to cast

I'd like to learn jerkbaits. And ned rigs. Nobody I know in Texas uses either of them. Maybe because the water isn't typically very clear? Idk

that is a beautiful picture. Is that lake Nunya

oh good to know. And that is on the I series?

I think bearings and spool are up graded on curado maybe less plastic

My brother inlaw is flying in for Thanksgiving from Costa rica. He's never gone fishing. Ever. I just don't want his first time to be frustrating. All I really own are bait casters aside from an Ultra light rig. I learned how to fish with minnows and cork maybe that would be best? In regrads to difficulty aND still gEtting bit. I just want him to have fun and hopefully catch fish

No. But id be willing to bet it works. I'll try it on some bedfish next spring

Curado is the only reel as far as I'm concerned.

I believe a 60/40 rod like you're describing meaning under a load the rod will start to bend at 60 percent of the rods over all length from the bOttoman of the handle. This would probably be a moderate to moderate fast action or taper. A 70/30 would be closer to a fast action. 80/20 would be extra fast. In my opinion rods and reels are evolving for sure. Maybe more so in design and materials

1.zoom super fluke Arkansas shad, 2.paradise tackle 1/2 oz flippin jig in green pumkin crawdad. 3. 3/8 ounce terminator spinner bait willow/Colorado blade white chartrues. 4. 3/8 oz strike king red eye shad black back chrome.5. Zoom 6 inch lizard motoroil.

I will only speak on equipment I own/owned. the bantam cu 200 is a very good reel but big and bulky for my liking. I have zero experience with the G series. I've seen alot of haters on the G series. I'd bet it's still good especially at a good price. My favorite is the new curado i. The e's and d100's tie for second

For me it's hard to beat the curados.I have curados and cbronarchs.over a dozen of the last 3 generations Of each. I have 1 jdm shimano it's the scorpion 1000xt. It's twin sister is the chronarch/curado 50e. I have one of each.love them all. In my opinion your wasting an extra 25 bucks getting the Scorpion over the chronarch 50e. It's the same exact reel. I really like the curado I's and my 1000xt and 50's. The chronarch ci4 is one sweet reel. But to me it's not worth 100 more than the curado

The banjo minna

you can't beat that for 4 bucks!

Wow that's a bold statement. More power to you.
