Super User Micro Posted June 21, 2008 Super User Posted June 21, 2008 ...ended up with this. Hard to justify a Winch for $200 when I can get a brand new 200DPV on clearance for under $150. I've been casting the Elite Tech with a Revo. It's a big, thick rod and I found myself wishing for a slightly bigger LP, but not wanting to go to a round reel. The Curado filled the bill perfectly. And man will it cast. Filled with 12# Yo-Zuri Hybrid. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Excellent Micro, I am trying to wait on the new Curados, but that deal is tempting me more each day. Quote
BigBrotherThunda Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 got 4 and love em! ive got big hands, they fit nice! Quote
Super User Micro Posted June 21, 2008 Author Super User Posted June 21, 2008 I've been casting a 1/4 oz and a 3/8 oz practice plug. I can't get the distance with the 1/4 oz that I can with with my Revo, but I can with the 3/8 oz. Since this is my 'big' crank rod, that's what I want. And it's a better fit on this rod than the Revo. I had two 200DHSVs and they were just too big on the graphite rods I wanted them for - but they were excellent reels. The 200 size on this Crankshaft is perfect. Quote

Super User Raul Posted June 22, 2008 Super User Posted June 22, 2008 Hard to justify a Winch for $200 when I can get a brand new 200DPV on clearance for under $150. Can 't argue about that, I wanted a low profile reel for my swimbaits and ended up with a Citica 200, $70 bones man ! it don 't get better than that. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted June 22, 2008 Super User Posted June 22, 2008 Good looking setup right there!! Watch using that black Buzzjet, you'll get your arm broke. Quote
The Rooster Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Man I was thinking the same thing, your pictures always look great. Your avatars always look like they should be magazine ads for the reels in them. Do you really use all those reels you have?? I've seen 1/2 a dozen pictures of different ones you had up. Quote
Super User Micro Posted June 23, 2008 Author Super User Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks. I use all my rod/reel combo. Some more than others. I haven't fished the pictured combo yet. Quote
