? about what to buy for a finese setup

[gatogordo]

I fish alot of unweighted finese worms in a lot of clear water pits. I started off trying to fish with what I had. which was the lightest rod -med-fast allstar classic rod and a 150 calcutta or cardiff. On days it wasn't windy wasn't too bad.

Next year I bought a Spirex and Berkeley Lighting. I could cast further, but acuuracy was terrble and I dont have the opportunity to fish enough with it..

So this year I would like to buy a 7' Med/Lt casting rod and finese reel. I dont want to spend more than $300. I hear alot about Curado 50, but not much other.

So any advice is accpeted.

For a reel I would either look at the Curado 50 or a Daiwa Sol. You can get either for around and under $150 on eBay.

I've never used a 7'ML trigger rod but I did just buy a 7'ML Carrot Stix Wild spinning rod and I believe they make it in a casting rod.

Thanks.  Are those 2 reels good with light line/small lures?

Fixed it, if you ever find a Core 50 for $150, I got dibs.  ;D

I have a Shimano Curado 51E... Nice reel for this.

I have it paired with a G Loomis BCR803 GLX which I got used in the flea market.

Fantastic setup for light plastics.

As bought a backup 6'8 rod (Powell Max 683C) which is also really nice for this application.

Curado 50 $150 - $200

Powell Max $140 new

So well within your price range. If you can find a used GLX Loomis for a reasonable price I highly advise it.

I have a St Croix LT 6'9" ML-XF casting rod. I use it for all finesse rigs.

If you can afford it, that's the one you're looking for. St Croix's rods almost never go on sale.

at the moment you cant get a Sol on ebay for close to that. theyre getting hard to find.

:-[ ;D ;D :  my mistake...I meant Curado...have no Idea where Core came from....If you DO  find a Core for $150... by all means...BUY IT ...or PM me and I'll buy it  ;D

I've not been in need of one so I haven't really checked around....I guess they would be getting harder to find though.....what a great reel...to bad it wasn't as appreciated as the Alphas
