I almost lost it when I saw this! I have a lake here in south eastern wa that has Giants! Everytime we go, we catch a 7+ but ive seen two bass cruzing the bank together, that under water, look to be 10+. They make the 7's we've caught look like dinks! so congratulations to mr Evans. But come next spring when the big girls in this lake are spawning, I'm catching that new record! Haha

Here's another 7+ out of my secret lake in south eastern wa. And a good 4.06

Fishing has been good lately at the secret lake ? Caught my 3rd 7+ out of this lake for the year and a good 4.06

Let's get together and fish sometime. I don't have a boat so I mostly fish from shore unless I rent a boat at potholes.

I'm not familiar with that lake but if it's anything like here, clear water and very pressured. Than the best thing you could wish for is a little wind. Wind with clear water here is the best time to catch them. Throw something like chatterbaits or square bills. And burn them. If there's no wind and it's clear water than you'll have to go super finesse. Shakey heads and drop shots work the best for me. Hope that helps. Tight lines!

Let's link up and fish!

What part of Washington are you in? I'm in south eastern wa. I catch a lot of largemouth on frogs, spooks, rat L traps, jigs. You name it. Depends on your lake. Water color. Conditions etc

Would you guys recommend fishing them with fluoro?

Alright. Thanks guys! In heading to the tackle shop than to my frog hole.

Just got an order of about 50 of these to try and I have a few questions for people who have fished them. 1. Does a twist lock double hook work better with them or a twist lock single? 2. Do you find it more affective to fish them upside down? (With the flat side up) 3. Do they come through cover ok? Or do they get hung up because they are Texas rigged?

Well I cleaned it and did what the yellow card said to do. I'm going fishing in 3 days if it's still making that noise I will call shimano

The only maintenance I've done to the reels is what it says on the yellow card that comes in the box. I don't really trust myself to do much more because I don't know what I'm doing. And I don't want to break the reel since it's so expensive

I Ok. I bought it from a local tackle shop over a month ago so I don't think I can exchange it with them but I guess I can try. If not I'll give shimano a call. Thanks!

So I recently picked up another curado and have only fished it maybe 5-6 times now. And last time I went out, it started to make a weird kinda gritty noise. And it only happens when I'm retrieving my lure. And, it doesn't happen everytime. It doesn't seem to hinder performance. But it's really annoying especially cause it's brand new. I own 3 other curado and none of the other make that noise. You guys have any ideas on what it could be?? Also when I'm retrieving the lure and it begins to make that noise I can also kinda feel it in the handle. Bad reel? Should I send it to shimano?

Hey thanks! I found this lake just recently and I'm telling you there is definitely a new state record in there. Went there again 3 days ago and my buddy caught a 7.04lber and we caught a few 5-6's. This place is loaded. And all the big 6+ lbers chase in the little 3lbers when we are catching them. Anywhere from 6-10 at a time. We saw two fish that looked to be 28+ inches and thick. I'm guessing 12-15lbs cause they made my 7.08 look tiny.

I live in the Tri cities! I hear Spokane has some toads! Fish weighed 7.08lb

Nice fish! Congrats

Yea that'll work just fine. I also prefer a glass rod for spinners and chatterbaits but what your using is fine. I use a 7'6" dobyns champion series MH paired with a shimano curado 201 6.3.1 with 15lb fluoro. Works like a charm. The way the glass loads when a fish hits, it's like they set the hook on themselves. Tight lines!

Anyone from Tri cities wa?

Thanks everyone! Funny thing my reel broke one the hooks set ha. My buddy had to jump in and grab it once it got close to shore

Went out with a buddy yesterday. We fish from land, an It was a new area for us so we didn't know what to expect. BUT! this place is loaded with big fish let me tell you. Smallest fish we caught was 3.09lb. And when we could reel one in 4-7 bigger fish would follow it in. Craziest thing I've ever seen. Anyway, here's a few pics of some of the fish we caught and my new PB, can you guess the weight??? ???

I live in southeastern wa and caught this today.

I ended up getting a dobyns champions xp glass cranking rod paired with a shimano curado 201 6.3.1 with 15lb sun line fluoro. And so far works like a charm and cast for miles. I'm happy so far. Thank you for your input! I definitely appreciate it!

The employee and I opened the only 3 remaining in the store and checked them. It was a bad batch. He said his boss would be contacting them. When we pulled them all out the tension knobs were buttoned down. I'm guessing it just cause them to lock up that way. They instantly took displays out and put the boxes aside so no one will have to go through that again

Well sadly I took the reel back in and had the guys look at it and it is for sure faulty. So not having much trust in the reel anymore (after having 2! With same issue) I decided just to go with my first gut instinct when I decided to get another reel and got another curado ?? I am disappointed about the type R though. I had high hopes.
