Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 my reels before they went into the boxes Wow, little bit of everything there. Quantum, Abu Garcia, Shimano, Pflueger, Daiwa. Did I miss any?? And they all play together nicely...haven't caught the Shimanos or Daiwas picking on the Pfluegers or Quantums once ;D ;D The top spinning reel is an Okuma and the round reel on top is a BPS Pro Qualifier I hope you buy line in bulk.... I need to....still chipping away at the 20 or so spools of CXX I bought from walmart a few years back when they clearanced it for $2-3 a piece. I also have a tendency to try different lines that I find onsale, I'd say the there are probably 6-7 different lines in that picture....CXX, CX, Floroclear, McCoy FC, Yo-Zuri Hybrid, Suffix Seige, Elite, Berkley Fireline Braid, BPS Excel, XPS FC, Seaguar Red Label, Stren Super Braid....OK...I was off by a few Quote
central.PA.bass Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Nice reels. Where are the rods?? They are at home.. haha.. I'm stuck at school til friday! In addition to rods...you probably need some soft water too - huh? ;D haha that would be nice also!! Quote

How do the Sol's compare to a Curado? I could really do all my fishing with those two reels. I like to compare the 50 and the sol as similar reels with different braking systems. You can snap cast the Curados easily with little worry about an overrun. I tend to keep my mags higher, around 8, and my cent brakes low with one pair. I seem to get further on a cast from the Sol, even with higher braking. the drag is a bit better on the Curado but I've upgraded to carbontex on all my daiwas making them smoother and more consistent. It's really hard to compare straight up because I use them so differently, plus I've payed less for my Sols than my Curados. In all, I could replace my Sols with 50es, COULD, but won't. Both ate great reels though. Quote

Glad to hear you like it, I'll probably get one eventually. 8-) Quote
