Chronarch Or Curado 50/51 Questions

[tomustang]

At times I throw 1/4 jigs on 15lb line (mono/copoly), not really a problem on the 200 size, for me at least. Might need some practice to coax out there but you'll get good distance. Around here though we have pickerel/musky/pike problem here and I can't really say 15-20lb line stops the cut, it's more about hook placement when it comes to non steel.

I was asking about the weight size since 1/4oz is small and if I recommend using a steel leader then a larger size should help a bass focus more on the lure. At times when I fish in a toothy critter area I'll use a short (6-8in) steel leader around 30lb and cut off the snap swivel and tie directly and replace the clasp with a smaller one.

still waiting for the video response. Maybe your quick draw of the hands is what caught you that 10 pounder in your profile pic...

You asked a question cause you obviously had no clue, and then you just whine like a school girl. .

I spooled one of my 51's with 17lb fluoro and didn't care for how it handled. I felt the spool was too light for the big/bulky line and that the 17lbs line was a better match to a Revo/ProQ/Zillion of mine with their heavier spools. Line capacity was not a problem in any way, however.

This is what i expected you would look like in a video, a little less harrier though which caught me by surprise.

I doubt hes going to make a video for you about tying leaders when hundreds are available over the internet. A minute may be a stretch for you time frame of start to finish with getting the spool out, tying the leader, lure etc. The only time i use a leader is with a spinning set up and light line requiring more wraps and a little more attention to the knot. The entire process easily takes under 3 minutes once you get proficient with knots. If you want to use a line that is 15# or heavier on a curado series then you will be a lot happier with a 200 series reel. I own quite a few 200/50e curados and while i have put larger fluoro on a 50, it was taken off and put back on a 200 basically for line capacity. If you are limiting yourself to this one reel for w/e technique you are using Rh n you will probably go through quite a bit of the sppol each trip retying lure/jigs with 15-20lb line where with a 200 you will not. Really the only way you will get a set up with a 50e curado using 15-20lb test that wont be a headache is using braid with a fluoro leader. You will hardly go through much braid usikg a leader and if you tie a 6-8 foot leader properly it will most likely never break at the connection. I cant remember the last time mine broke using 6lb 832 to a 7lb leader..

Thanks for the insight with your experience concerning this reel. I really didn't want to watch a video of it. I'm well aware of how to tie the knots, just pullin what's his buckets leg. I appreciate your advice. So, it seems the best line choice to do without a leader thus far is using seaguar invizx type line or possibly P-line CXX as JFrancho mentioned. Just love those 51's though, and am kinda bummed about the line problem.
