Revo SX Question
I agree with Micro, I rarely have to fiddle with the settings after I got it set right. When I first got my SX it seemed finicky, hard to stop overruns. I noticed that I had too much line on the spool, causing it to hit the reel foot. After I cut some line off, no more overruns.
-
what line do you use?
Yo-Zuri Hybrid P-Line CXX BPS Fluorocarbon
-
Revo sx or Citica 200E
I own a Revo SX and a Curado 200E. Both are great reels and you won't regret choosing either reel. If you can go try each them as they feel quite different to hold. I actually prefer the Revo's ergonomics.
-
What lure has brought you the best luck over all other tackle?
Zoom Finesse Worms and Yamamoto Fat Ikas.

How have you progressed this year?
I only started fishing in 2007, and I fish from shore: -Most LMB caught in a year 635 in 36 trips -Most caught in a month 203 -Caught my 1000th bass this year -PB of 6.1lbs -Biggest improvement was making small adjustments to catch more fish. Crankbait fishing improved alot. -Biggest disappointment frog and buzzbait fishing needs improvement. -Taught my son and daughter the joy of fishing. A big thanks to all who post on this site. I know my learning curve has been accelerated by your wisdom. Looking forward to 2009. Steve
