HELP ME!! Someone please talk me off the ledge. I asked for a Fuego CT 7:3:1 for Fathers Day and now think I need a 5:3:1 also. So my plan is to put it on a credit card and pay back a little at a time whereas the 7:3:1 will be a gift that I don't have to pay back.

MY WIFE IS GOING TO KILL ME!!

Man I really hate the "Equipment Monkey" (1st cousin of the bait monkey) and just as sinister!!?

Always nice to have your cake and eat it too.  I am also asking for the Fuego CT 7:3:1 for fathers day,  I plan to just use a slower retrieve when needed to emulate the 5:3:1.  That's a dangerous game putting fishing gear on the credit card with interest accruing, I suggest waiting until you can pay out of pocket.

I'll try to talk you off the ledge. Not trying to sound like a jerk, but if you have to finance a $60 reel it's probably not a good decision.

No 5.3.1 in the Fuego CT, slowest retrieve is 6.3.1.

I picked up a Tatula CT 100P which is 5.5.1 but a bit more expensive. I'm on the fence about the T-Wing but I would appreciate the bearings in the knobs.

You can buy knob bearings to replace to bushings. They're not expensive at all. I bought 50 on amazon for $15.

Order one from Bass Pro and use the 6 payment plan. It's interest free.

Dude I feel your pain. I've bought 5 bait casters this year. I only fish 3. But yeah no, I'm always in the same boat... I can't help you ?

 

Now's the time though.... this eBay sale is a PITA to use compared to some of the other ones but it's a good deal if you do the leg work.

Well I couldn't take the monkey screaming in my ear any longer. I went ahead and ordered it 58. and change. Good news is we belong to a really good Credit Union and if I get any kick back on this I'll just use this as my Fathers Day gift.:D:D

So the monkey apparently is not satisfied with my buying just one Fuego CT. He says I need another one, I've got some money to spend so wondering what gear to order next. 7:3:1 or 8:3:1? I've ordered the 6:3:1.

Would there be any issues spooling Pline CX premium fluorocarbon coated line on this reel?

Can't imagine any reason,  I bought a 5000yd spool and just wanted to know if was a good match or if anybody had problems with it.

It's about time. And I can't stand the thought of an expansion team from Vegas winning the cup.

It's very good line..smaller diameter than some other copolymers out there. For instance I think 15 lb is approx. .013 " , 20 lb is .015"
