is it the high speed version? i know they have that problem with the high speed version. bass pro here says they have returned a lot of the high speed ones.

I guess you have never seen any saltwater fishing.... fishing reels DO fight fish

dont the strike king ones take a regular tube head jig???

what is the cost to have some lures painted in this pattern?? would really like some lipless cranks painted.... Pm me if your interested in painting a few for me.

cabelas in Dundee has the SOL spinning reels for 149.00

Tackle warehouse?? I dont see them on their site.

I did read the post I've owned both the fuego and the e7 my fuego far exceeded my e7

"the fuego doesn't like light lures" WHAT??? have you ever owned one?

have a steez mounted on a cumara rod and i love it..

fwiw, that line is rated at it breaking strength, not the dia like most other lines. So 14lb test breaks at 14lb. I like the line myself but the small dia claim isnt really comparing apples to apples with other lines

scroll down to the bottom. the sale is for the 4.9:1 ratio reel, regardless of the picture.... I picked up one yesterday at the store for the sale price..

cabelas has this reel on sale for 189.00 !!!!!!!

I had no problems with any other reel, bps, daiwa etc, but this shimano wouldnt even cast without your thunb on the spool the entire time, like NO Breaks at all. anyhow its much,MUCH, better now

5" senko and it weighs 1/2 oz.with a 4/0 hook according to my scale. well I fixed it somehow. lol. I changed to the green weights and I cleaned the brake drum with a q-tip and alcohol, works perfectley now. actually may need to go back to the red brakes now, I think the brake drum had some oil on it...

I just bought a Curado 200e7 and I'm having some problems with casting. (this is NOT my 1st baitcaster) anyhow I'm using a 6'10" MH extra fast johhny morris rod and casting weightless senkos ( cast great with my daiwa 153hsta) the problem is that with 3 on and 3 off the very begining of the cast starts out in a huge backlash, the only way I can prevent this is to thumb the reel the entire time or tighten the cast control knob so tight that the lure will not fall on its own. I noticed they give you 2 different color brake pins in the box, are they any different? The reel acts like the brakes arent even engaged. Any ideas????

Do you have a model# for a St. Croix that you would recommend. I've looked at some of their rods and they seem very nice

"Another option might be a 6'6" MH BPS extreme rod" I have checked those out at my local BPS and they seemed very very stiff, like they had no flex at all. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing. keep the suggestions coming , thanks for all the replys so far.

Just getting back into the fishing scene after about 10 years I bought a Diawa Advantage HST reel and I cant pull the rigger on a rod. I know there is no such thing as an "all around" rod but I want something close. I probably wont fish alot of crankbaits or treble hook lures, mostly platic lures and maybe some spinner bait/ buzz bait, but would like to be able to throw some cranks if I feel the urge. lol. I will fish mostly from shore also. Looking to keep it around 120-130.00 Thanks for any advise
