tucker1998 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I want a 7.1:1 reel to use on my loomis IMX 853 (7'1 med hvy) and this is gonna be my worm and jig rod. I'll spool it up with 15-17# seagar fluro. I have one curado I and I like it a lot, but I've heard great things about Lew's. So should I get another curado I or should I try the Lew's BB1 Pro??!! Quote

I have used both reels and honestly your going to get mixed views on this because both are good reels however I would give the slight edge to Shimano for various reasons. Quote

Agreed I've used them both but I've used the shimano more and would give it a slight edge Quote
NorthFloBassin Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Get the lews tournemnt pro, it's the same price. I would go with 7.1.1 and 17 floro, that's a perfect set up for worms anywhere from 6.5' like the trick worm to 10.5' like the ol monster plus with the heavier line you can pitch up to 3/8 oz jigs. I actually use 20 lb floro in my worm rod but I fish big worms in hevay brush piles and grass, 17 is your best bet though. Quote

tucker1998 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 So going with shimano now should I get the curado I or the chronarch? Quote
TNBassin' Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 So going with shimano now should I get the curado I or the chronarch? I'm torn on this kind of myself. I own 3 Chronarchs and have for over a year, and just bought 3 Curado Is. IMO it seems that the Curado I packs the performance of the Chronarch for less money. I've got about 6 hours on my Curados and over a year on my Chronarchs, and there isn't a big difference if any between the two, though I like the Chronarchs braking system better. 1 Quote
JGBassinAL Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 So going with shimano now should I get the curado I or the chronarch? It depends if you are talking about the Chronarch E or the Chronarch Ci4. If you are talking about the Chronarch E then I would get the Curado over it, but if you are talking about the Ci4 then I would take the Ci4 all day long! 1 Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted July 9, 2014 Super User Posted July 9, 2014 Sure would like to see one of those 6.5' trick worms. Not so sure 'bout the 10.5 foot one tho. Only one per pack. You should see the hooks. Hootie Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 9, 2014 Super User Posted July 9, 2014 It would take a whole new rod design to throw it too. !! Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted July 9, 2014 Super User Posted July 9, 2014 Never seen a 6 foot worm. I did show up to a tournament once with a huge Rapala crankbait that was about 2.5 feet long tied on to my surf rod. Never tried to cast it, but it was good for a few laughs. Quote
Basswhippa Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Get the Shimano and leave the commie pinko Chinese junk in China! Quote
NorthFloBassin Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 It'll be the next "BIG" thing in fishing haha It won't be long till there fishing it in California I can tell you that! 1 Quote
