7:1:1 Reels Around 130 Or Less That Handle Braid Well? Lews Mg? Citica? Or Any Others?

[Matthew Veillion]

Looking for a reel to put on a mh or h 7 foot rod with braid for jigs and some frogging

[BenBassmaster]

I have a Abu Garcia Pro Max in 7:1.1 on a 7 ft MH myself works good, if I say so my self. It costs $85.00.

Keep an eye on the Flea Market. You should be able to pick up a Curado 200E NIB or gently used in your price range.

But can the lews mg for $130 handle braid well? Anybody have one?

[webertime]

ebay, new Curado G's for less than that. MAYBE a new Gen 2 Revo STX as well.

I have one, it handles braid well. It had a short frogging stint for me, worked well, casts well. 150yd spool, long handle, I believe 14lbs of drag. Its magnetic braking only

I would think that all reels made today should be able to handle braid, all rods today do. With that in mind my vote is get a Citica! Mine handles it well.

My frog rod has a Lews MG in 7.1 to 1 with 50 lb. Power Pro. It casts both buzz frogs and hollow belly frogs well. Some one here had a couple for sale I recall but that back in late May. I have a Lews Super Duty (Braid specific) in 7.1 to 1 on the way. You may want to hang on before you buy anything. Just a thought.

Pretty much all rods and reels will work with braid now days.

I got a Citica 200G7 spooled with 50# Power Pro for $70 if you want it. You got the reel and the line you're lookin for for a lot less than you'd spend otherwise. Also got a few rods in the 7' MH/F range you may want to check out too .

I wouldn't be turning that one down, Matt.

I have a couple of D series Citicas that rock with braid. My Lew's MG 7.1 is currently running 65lb power pro, and it works well too. I picked it up from a member here for 65.00 with less than a season of use.

Still would be looking hard at that Citica!

[Matthew Veillion]

Well guys, im buying the citica from Arv. Should work really well! Thanks for the responses

A gen2 Revo sTx works awesome with braid and it even has the wiffle spool to help with line tying...

This reel is as smooth as butter with powerpro braid... I've fished it several years and have yet to put mono on it...
