Super User jimmyjoe Posted September 2, 2019 Super User Posted September 2, 2019 I have a chance to get one of these cheap. I have 2 curado reels, but I don't know anything about the Casitas. How strong is it? How large a diameter line will a 150 size reel really take before there's problems? Specifically how strong is the gear train in these? I have an empty MH/F rod, but I figured that might be a little bit more than this reel can bite off and chew, because it's a graphite frame. I've never had a reel with a graphite frame. Anything I should know in that regard? Thanks for your replies and help. jj Quote
keagbassr Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Jump on it. I 've been using a 7 speed on my 7' mh/f buzz bait rod for 3 years now. it has no problem handling,casting,hooking or landing fish such as this one I caught on thurs. Around some fairly heavy weeds.[edit:should read 6 speed not 7] 1 Quote
