Hey brother, I highly recommend going to the Fishing Tackle Forum and reading the SENKO FAQ thread. First, one at the top, its locked so you can only read, can not addd a response. Since we have been fishing Senko's so much lately you should read that. There is a lot of great information in that thread on Senkos!

Sam and AJ, great day fishing for you to!

Yeah, great bag of bass! Well done!

Very happy for you!

Good to see ya on here Sean!

Welcome to the site Mike!

Welcome to the forum Vaft! Hope to see you in here a good long while!

Great catch!

Welcome to the site! There are a lot of people in here willing to share and give advice. Post some pictures if you get some big fish!

The Lew's look like great reels, but the Curados I know what I have and am getting. I have/had a 2009 Preimer, nice reel, but could not cast littler lures, or in windy conditions. The Curado 50E kills the Premier. For me, I do not wnat to be in a tourny and have to pick up another rod with a different reel and spend a couple of casts getting used to it. Nothing against the Lew's, to be honest I dont think I have ever heard anybody say anything bad about them. The guy that works on my reels loves Lew's and Shimano's and he has seen basically every reel over the past 40 years. So, I am just going with what is fimilar.

AMEN!

I had a tournament today and I was using my Revo and then Curado 50E. the Shimano was my go to old dependable reel the whole day. Those Shimanos being so reliable for me I can only get more of them.

Welcome to the Forum Basslips! I just ordered the 6103 Powell last week, should get it Monday. I'll let you know what I think of the rod when the UPS man/woman makes an apperance.

Yeah, I really doubted I could go wrong. My little detail is go with ole' faith, Curado or get a Lew's. Believe me, I love my 50E and 200E5, not really a complaint against them.

Can't blame you for being exicted, I searched them on the internet after reading this post. Very good reviews, I also called Kanabe and I already knew he loves them. Just need to get $$ together, stupid car insurance!

Let me know what you find out Hayden. I am curious about those reels now. I need/want a flip/pitch reel and been looking at a Okuma, Daiwa, E7 etc. Thanks,

Micro, Nice pictures! Have you fished Newport News Res. lately? I heard it is basically overun with Hydrilla now. Thanks,

If you do not like it we can work something out. But, I doubt you will not like the 50E!

meant to say Nothing wrong with a Toyota Corolla

Nothing wrong with a Toyota Camry! I see a lot of car companies that mimic that car. AJ, you know they are the best reel for under $179

Hey everyone, I wanted to check and see if anyone has a Okuma Alumina @ 7.3 to 1 and what their opinion of it is? I searched the forum here, but the only thing that came up was from 2008. Any opinions is greatly apperciated! (Thinking about applying it to flip and pitching) Thanks in advance Wdy

yeah, the knobs are a little pain with the smaller size reel

Yeah, it should not be a problem. I have used 12# mono and now copoly on mine, no problems at all.

i finally fished it at a private pond this past Saturday and did pretty well with it. Definitly, going to use that more!

Paca Craws! I have done some serious damage with those!! (Go Cardinals!!)
