What’s your favorite reel brands?
All my reels are Shimano at this point. However, I’ve had my share of Daiwa’s in the past. Those are the only two for me.

I keep all my cranks separated. Drives me nuts when I've gotta shake 8 others loose to get the one I want.

More Rods Or Higher Quality Rods
Definitely quality over quantity, for me.

Reaction-Bait Rods
I use G Loomis GLX's. The above pretty much sums up my thoughts, obviously with Loomis inserted where St. Croix is.

Why Are The Old "round" Baitcasters Still Popular?
I almost prefer the feel of a 51/101 sized round reel over LP. The Shimano Conquest is my favourite reel.

Rod And Reel Covers
I most definitely use rod and reel covers. As above, you've got to protect your investment.

Leftie Or Rightie
I write left handed. I cast with my right hand and reel with my left.

One Rod Company?
All of my rods are one brand. I don't think it's any better or overly advantageous, I just like consistency. For that matter, all of my reels are one brand, as well. Although, that could change if the right reel came along.

G. Loomis Rods, Really Worth The Money?
This.I've slowly converted all of my casting rods over to Loomis (IMX & GLX). I feel they're worth the money.

Curado I Initial Impressions
I stopped by a local shop today to see if they had any new Curado I's in stock. They did! In hand, it felt really smooth and quite refined. I also liked the aesthetics. Now, if they were lefties, I'd have a couple already. I really like the feel of this new Curado!
