LEWITH

Yeah most of my reels are silver in color so I'm worried about the cover bleeding throw and outing black spots on my reels.

Do the TW covers put any black marks on the reels? Like the dye from the material rubbed off into the frame of the reel? Anyone notice this? I don't want them to mark up my new curado I ....

Yeah I'll try cutting a little slit in them and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice

I'm looking for a real cover for my low profile baitcasters. The one I tried is the tacklewarehouse one. It's nice but has no cut out for the line. If I put it on it will pinch my line and kink it. Are there any good baitcaster covers that won't pinch the fishing line? What ones do you guys recommend? thanks!

What chatterbait weight do you guys recommend for all around maybe 1-15ft of water? I was thinking about 3/8oz. I dont want to buy a ton of different sizes and would like a size that kinda of does everything. Thanks!

Would the 704c be ok to pitch 1/8 and 1/4 Texas rigs as well?

What about the 704c?

Thanks for the info!

Awesome was worried it might be to stout for pitching but that's perfect weights! Thanks much

Would the dobyns Fury 735C be to heavy of a rod to pitch primarily 3/8oz jigs? I heard their rods run a power lighter. Thanks!

Haha yes... Long winters up here so all I can do right now is look at my fishing gear and dream about being on the lake. The Curado is amazing it's so smooth and it just feels like quality I'm pumped to add it to the reel Arsenal.

The SV tat will definitely be interesting I just don't like how wide Tatulas are compared to other reels. I think Diawa makes a great reel I just like the ergonomics of others better. You can't go wrong with either brand imo if it feels good in hand to you go with it!

Shimano all the way imo. Loving my new Curado 200i.

Got it figured out it was just the drag being too loose

Any ideas anyone or is it of no concern?

Just bought a brand new Curado 200i and was just messing around with it have not spooled line on it or even put it on a rod. Took it out of the box and everything was fine after pushing the thumb at down and disengaging and reengaging did this maybe 25 times. Then twice in a row I would push the thumb bar down it would free spool like normal turn the handle the spool won't move but I could still reel although there was some tension on the handle nothing real tight but present, if I moved the spool forward with my finger it kind of made an engaging noise and it worked fine and the handle would then spin the spool normally. It did it two more times randomly again. Now I tightened down the drag all the way and I can't get it to replicate the issue. Do you guys think the drag was just loose and wasn't engaging properly?? Thank you!

What rod lengths do you guys prefer for pitching? Im trying to decide for my texas rig rod and jig rod if I want to go with a 7 footer or a 7'3-6" strictly for pitching in light to moderate cover. Thanks!

Second the Team Lite, I have 2 of them and they are a phenomenal reel!

Does Cabelas know something we dont? They have the Curado 200i on sale 30 dollars off. Could we see a new curado released at the classic?

fishnkamp, will PLINE CXX work ok with topwater or is it like fluoro and sinks to much which would hinder my topwater baits action? Thanks, LEW

I was thinking possibly a copoly line but was scared it wouldnt be good with topwaters like walking baits and poppers? I don't even know a good copoly brand... im so out of the loop when it comes to mono/copoly lines.

I need a line for my baitcaster that has a medium fast rod. I need it to be multi purpose, becuase ill be using jerkbaits, lipless cranks, squarebills and topwaters(not frogs). Was thinking about just getting 12lb berkley trilene XL. What are you thoughts for a line that could cover most those situations?

I cant find the link to stream it live on their website. Do you know where to find it been searching all over.

How often would you suggest that you have to internally oil the bearing? What if they have metal shields that dont come off?

What would you guys suggest for pitching jigs and texas rigs. Go with straight fluoro probably 18-20lb test or go with 50lb braid to 20lb fluoro leader for this technique? Mainly pitching docks, laydowns, reeds, sparse vegetation. All the heavy vegatation flipping/pitching ill be doing with my flipping stick and 65lb braid. thanks!
