Raul, great explanation. Thank you very much. Happy Holidays. Paul

Thanks Raul. Can you explain the difference between the two, if there isn't much difference maybe explain characteristics good or bad. Also how do you set the centrifugal brake, if all plastic things are pushed out, does that mean it slows quicker or brake is inactive? Thanks. Paul

I am not trying to start a debate, just looking for opinions about the braking system and two reels. I have used only baitcasters with magnetic braking systems, I am wondering if I switch to a Curado what will be the difference with the centrifugal braking system? I have used Revos, PT tours and BPS Johnny Morris, I really enjoy the JM and was thinking about buying two more of these but I like the feel of the Curado, reminds me of the Revos (size wize). What are your opinions about the Curado and JM? I would like to say that my only hang up is understanding or wondering if I will like the Curado braking system. Thanks for the help! Paul

Try Ebay, thats where I got my manual

From Plainfield, any bass fishing sounds good to me.

WOW, thanks for the descriptive information. I will look at it this weekend and see if this works. Will Abu Garcia reel oil work inside there? Thank you very much ***!

Purchased a Quantum Tour PT1160 reel. This was purchased to give as a gift. Took the nephew fishing with his new reel and right out of the box this thing squeals when casted. I tried different settings on the brake and the tension knob with no luck. I am hoping maybe some lube (oil/grease) in the right place will help. My only problem is where is the right place? Any help would be appreciated as I am slightly embarrassed giving a gift that doesn't perform up to standards. :-[

Thanks for the info, I hate storing for the winter, no more fishing. :-[

When some of you guys put the gear away for the winter, do you loosen the drag, turn off the brake and loosen tension knob? Not sure if it matters or not, want to hear some opinions. Thanks

Thanks Raul for the great information. I will try to duplicate and see what happens.

Are there any tactics you use for LMB while fishing strip pits. Shorelines are fairly straight with tall reeds. Fish seem to be under the reeds. Some of the pits have VERY clear water while others are murkey. Shorelines drop off immediately, middles range from 12' to 20'. Even though we have only managed a few bass, I would like to continue to go, have heard many stories how good this place is. Thanks for any info.

fishcat, its not super tippy, the width is 68". I just had my wife with me and has to understand about moving around when I am leaning over the side. Good luck to you.

I purchased a '89 Lund (one ding in the side) similar style as the one you are looking at, it included the following: -2000 Mercury 25hp (runs excellent) -Minn kota auto pilot 42lbs trolling motor -all new decking and carpet -Biminin top (new) -Trailor is in excellent condition customized with new rims and tires -2 batteries -battery charger -3 seats -three storage bins The bad: -no livewell -little tippy with new a new fishing buddy -no rod storage. Very happy since this is my first boat, paid $3200. I think it is a good time to buy boats right now.

Ended up at C**p lake instead of Pondo........not very good again. I hit one bass on the head and he was mad enough to take the lure. That was it. Discussed how bad it was with others there on Saturday and I hear a lot of the same......just a bad year! It wwill probably get hot when they close it. >

Sounds good Leo, you going to Pondo on Saturday?? If so I will keep an eye out for ya. Good luck!

Ponderosa is much better, have not been on Monster but once this year. Fished Pondo at least 8 times. Fished Pondo (very clear water) a couple of weeks ago......not one fish. Plan on going back this weekend and trying a couple of different techniques. Maybe we will see you out there sometime. Glad to see some other Illinois guys on this website.

CHICCKEEEEN !!!!!! U afraid of her ? be a man, not a wuzz ! ( thankfully mine ain 't around or --------> :-X ) C'mon Amigo, you gotta give the guy props for having the forethought to launder the purchase,....I smell a real fisherman here folks .... Thanks LBH, you have to do what you have to do.

Illinois boy here. Haven't fished lately but plan on it soon....

Mine came in today, hope to try it out this weekend. Thank you Bobby and Cavitron!

Like I said before... even if I don't get one, thanks a million. People like you not only make this website what it is but you guys continually show what bass fishing is all about. A+ (By the way, I have talked to him on the phone and he is a class act). X2

Email sent, thanks!

Thanks, I have ordered through there website. I didn't go far enough in the checkout to see that Paypal can be used.

Anybody know where I could purchase these with a Paypal acct. I looked at tacklewharehouse and Mattlures website and it looks as they only take CC's. I can't put it on CC, then my wife will know I let the bait monkey out. I promised her I would keep it locked up. ;D Thanks in advance.
