current curado 100dsv vs daiwa sol...

[Tenka]

... for light and ultra light  applications,  i know about the pixy but the extra $100+ puts it out of my price range.

looking for hands on opinions please.  

Thanks

i own the the sol and its definately worth the money. Its silky smooth and casts the lightest lures i own a country mile. i cast 1/8 ounce lures with absolutely no problem. the only thing i dont like about it is the fact that it doesnt have a clicking drag star like the curado,  For the applications you need it for i would still go with the sol

The Sol is better light & UL caster than the Curado, but the ultimate finesse baitcaster for bass applications has a different name ---> PIXY.

i would also look at the 50 mg

Pixy's can be bought all day long from Brooklyn Bill for $270 shipped.  I have two Pixies, and they are just unreal.

Don't count out the TD-Fuego. I throw 1/8 oz jigs all the time. You need the proper rod though, I use a 6'6' Compre med xfast. The xfast tip is the ticket for casting light baits.

Isn't it great to have multiple options on quality gear.

Thanks for the reply guys!  

I've read about the PIXY, and i know it is the best for what i'm trying to put together, i just  don't think the better half will let me swing the extra money to cover the cost.  i got the $200 range down, but that extra $70+ is going to be very hard. I still have to get the rod to match it, too.  This will be my first $400+ setup, too bad the purchase date keeps getting pushed back farther and farther.

Go for the Sol, is an outstanding light lure reel.

I have the curado and it seems like it cast small lures better then spinning reels. I never used any of the daiwas so i can't saw any thing aobut them. But I use my curado more for throwing senkos all the time.
