What brand chatterbaits do you guys suggest?

Hello everyone! Been a long time since I've participated, and its nice to be back and reading this forum again. I might be going a little off topic here since I want to talk about the Chronarch. So, If I want to buy a new Shimano reel, either Curado or Chronarch in 201 size (left hand), which one should I get? I specifically want the 6.x:1 gear ratio for spinner baits and chatterbaits. My main spinner bait reel for the last 4 years was the Curado 101D...its time to upgrade and add more line to the reel. Shimano does not make the Curado 201E5 so thats out. That leaves me with Curado 201G6 or the Chronarch 201E6 to pick from. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all your help guys! All PMs replied. Can't wait to fish Gaston this Friday for the first time!

Thanks for your big help Sam! ;D I really look forward going to Lake Gaston next weekend. Any more help for fishing Gaston would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm going to Oneida Lake the third weekend of July for deaf fishing club tourney. I have never been to Oneida Lake before. Any help, tips, websites, or reports would be a big help. I just bought a map of Oneida Lake to start off with. Thanks in advance!

Green Pumpkin with black or red flake. It's like the #1 all-around natural color. I remember there was a "color poll" in the Bassmaster Magazine and green pumpkin won big time.

Citica...Shimano all the way.

Wow! The Tackle Tamers from Cabela's that Wayne P. suggested is a great idea. I'll have to get one for myself.

CI4! Can't wait to get mine around mid February!

I use 6lb and 8lb line on all 4 of my 2500 spinning reels. It's a perfect size.

I'm another Netbait Mad Paca craw user. I formerly used the Zoom Brush Hogs for 3 years but switched over to the Netbaits last summer mainly because of the bigger paddle arms/craws which means more action. Also the factory ready garlicy scents in the Netbaits is another plus compared to the Zoom rubbery/plastic smell. I even have about 15-25 packs of the Zoom Baby Brush hogs that I've just put away and don't want to use.

I also have the AVC70MM. I bought it last summer with roadwarrior's helpful advice. It's the only crankbait rod I own and it's awesome! I have used it a lot last year for deep cranking as well as wake baits and shallow cranking. It does cast LONG with crankbaits but probably LONGER with rattle trap type baits! You won't be disappointed with this rod.

I downloaded this free software from the Lowrance website "Downloads" section. I opened the program and want to create way points and plan future trips to my LMS-522 iGPS. The closest zoom-in screen is showing the state lines. It will not even show major highways, lakes or rivers, why is that??? Am I missing something here or do I need another software to run with this or what? I just basically want a software on my computer that can add/modify way points, trips and plan future trips on the computer and transfer it to my LMS-522 iGPS with my memory card. Thanks for your help.
