    Cons: Travel rods have improved but you still lose sensitivity, the ferrules can be damaged or get stuck together(not a big deal). Pros: You can take them almost anywhere, prices aren’t bad I don’t mind 2 piece rods but I probably wouldn’t use a 3 piece unless I had to. Ditto to reason

    My choice would be a St. Croix Mojo Bass Casting Rod. It’s got a 5 year warranty and it’s better than their Bass X. The model I would pick would be spinnerbait, it’s Mod.-Fast action and MH power which would be decent for cranks and good for spinners. Price: $130 Site: http://stcroixrods.com/products/freshwater/mojo-bass As for a reel, stay I’d stay AWAY from the high speed reels. Some people actually prefer them but others haven’t done their research and just think faster is better. High speeds are good for burning spinnerbaits and chatterbaits but not for cranks. Since you are cranking and using spinnerbaits, I would suggest a 6.0-6.8:1 it has enough torque for crankbaits and you can speed up for spinners. I just bought a Shimano Curado 200K, very smooth. Buying a decent reel will save you money in the long run and since your budget is pretty good, I’d utilize it. I think the Curado K would be a nice choice for you, I haven’t heard anything bad about it, it should last for years as well. Price: $180 Site: http://fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-reels/baitcast/curado-k.html Estimated Total Cost: $340 Best of Luck!

    Absolutely! Will have to pick up a rod, hoping to get the F@te Black Gen2.

    That’s understandable, I’ve heard good and bad things about them.

    I found some Lew’s to be smoother than others, at better prices too. I went in the store dead set on Lew’s and came out with a Shimano. Shimano’s 7 bearings felt a lot smoother than Lew’s 10 bearings. Just a thought.

    Bought a Shimano Curado 200k after handling a Custom Speed Spool in the store yesterday, the quality wasn’t as good as the Shimano and 2 guys highly recommended it

    I've only used magnetic and I don't know if I even like centrifugal. I've only used one baitcaster and this would be like a transition I guess.
  8. TylerT123
    Really? I want to learn centrifugal and I've watch videos on it and it seems simple. But I don't think I'm ready for full on centrifugal brakes. Thanks for the insight.

    How does your reel handle small baits? Like 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz and 1/4? Also, which brake system do you use more? Thank you. https://www.lews.com/casting/custom

    Is Lew's Custom Speed Spool SLP good? I've never had a baitcaster, I've used one before and this Lew's has everything I want. Quality ball bearings, good all round gear ratio, aluminum frame and spool. I like the dual brakes as well. I would pair it with Lew's Custom TP Rod. I fish for mainly bass, some panfish and next year I hope to catfish. I would enjoy your input. How is this brand? Do you like their reels? How often would I need to maintenance it? I really appreciate your answer.

    I've looked at some Lew's and decided to go with the Custom Speed Spool SLP, it's more affordable and I'd get a better rod with it
  12. TylerT123
    Maybe the A-rig but probably not smaller swim baits

    It's not just for bass fishing, and how are the Lexa's "krudy"? I fish pretty heavy baits btw
  14. TylerT123
    How are the new Daiwa Lexas? I've been considering buying a 400WN with a 6.3:1 gear ratio. I like that it has a high line capacity, quality bearings and it can be used in freshwater and saltwater. I mostly fish in ponds but I'm probably going to go fishing in lakes and rivers next season. It's not just for bass. Thanks in advance!
