    Hello! I was bank fishing the other day with my casting combo. The casting reel is a Shimano Scorpion DC reel with 10lb mono. A gentleman with a spinning combo came and started to fish with me using a weighted wacky rig. He was launching that thing...really far. I wasn't catching anything on my topwater frog so he asked me if I wanted a weighted senko (he pulled in a 5lb bass within 15-20 min). I took his offer. He said my casting reel should be able to launch the wacky rig further than his spinning. His friends apparently can launch it nearly to the middle of the lake. I was not even close, I changed the break to 1. Also, I am fairly new using a casting reel. Only had this for a couple months. What is going on? 3 things I can think of is my technique, type of line/test and rod type? The guy had braid, forgot what test.

    What's everyone's favorites? I still like to use my round Garcia casting reels. That's what I started out with. I think they have been losing favor for quite a while to low profile reels. Anyone still use ABU or other round reels for most fishing?

    So I have a dilemna. The Shimano Curado I and the Lew's Custom Speed Spool are the same price and on sale for 40% off. Which one would you recommend, they both feel nice in my hand. The gear ratios are 7.2.1 and 7.5.1 so very similar. If I were to buy one it would go on my frog rod. What do you guys suggest? Does anybody own both of them?

    Hi, this is my first post here, and I am looking for the best reel that fits what I need to do with it. I have the whole rod deal figured out. I am just getting back into bass fishing. I know how to use casting reels, I had a few before I quit fishing for a year(Curado 200E7 and some shakespeare plastic thing..) Heres what I need: - Under $120 (including tax!) But I would prefer $100 - This will be my single combo along with a spinning, so it needs to be able to fish as many baits as possible, including frogs, cranks, jigs, plastics, topwaters, etc. - Good quality that will last as long as possible, and warranties are nice. - Large spool - Basically a good all around reel - Smooth, and as many bearings as possible I intend on doing small local tournaments, and using many different baits. (I am on a budget, and it needs to be my only casting combo, I cannot get more until I have enough saved) Thank you guys in advance, and happy fishing!
