What is your preference for a spinnerbait. Hootie

Are the spool bearings in a curado G7 the same as the spool bearings in a Chronarch E6 Hootie

You kill me LMG. lol I bought a Curado on Monday, fished with it Tuesday, went back to BPS today and bought another.......shhhh. Hootie

Done

They are both Shimano?? Hootie

Is the G series handle plastic or aluminum. Doesn't say, and I can't tell. Hootie

Thanks guys, for all the quick replies. Way more positive than negative, so I bought the reel. I know I can always get educated answers here, not just opinions. I walked around BPS this morning checking back frequently for replies. After all the feedback, I made my purchase. Going to try it out tomorrow. Retirement is GREAT!!! Hootie

You're absolutely correct about that. In fact they regularly hold catfish tournaments on this lake. Hootie

Sounds like a solid plan. I'm just anxious to get a positive no noise report on your 50E. I really want to get another one, a quiet one, like my 200E's. You have a great day guy. I kinda forgot about the work thingy, been retired for 5 years. Hootie

You said you were going to try out that new 50E today.....GO!!! Besides Lews don't make the Chronarch. lol Hootie

Is the Curado G series worth the money or not? Thinking about getting one. Please don't make other suggestions, as this is the only one I am interested in at this time. Thanks guys, Hootie

I fish strictly for bass, but anytime I tie on any Berkley Power Bait, I know I am just as likely to catch a catfish as well as bass. On one occassion, using a Berkley Power Hog, I caught a 14# flathead, a15# bluecat, a 27# flathead, a6#+ channel cat. Ended my day right by finally catching a 5#12oz. bass. I know it's probably the smell, but I have other rotten smelling plastics that don't seem to attract catfish. Hootie

Let me know how it works out. I had to return one, then another one. They both sounded like coffee grinders on the retrieve. I exaggerate slightly. Hootie

Same here, complicate things and I go home. Hootie

I also have the FTO box, love it. Best thing since iced tea. Hootie PS. I don't mean the Law & Order guy either.

Ya just can't resist can ya LMG. lol Hootie

Are all these wacky rigged, or texas rigged? What is the most popular way to rig these. I've never had much luck either way. Probably not giving them a fair chance. Hootie

Same here, Abu, Shimano, but mostly I am ( here it comes LMG), a .......... LEWSer!! lol Hootie

Is this NUTS or what??? lol Hootie

X2.... 20 min.to my fishing spot. Hootie

Good post LMG, try to stay out of trouble for a while. lol You're okay by me guy! Hootie

I have old magazines with adds touting high speed reels with gear ratios a blistering 4.7-1 I also prefer a slow gear ratio for spinnerbaits. Hootie

Nuff said. lol Hootie

Shouldn't have to patch a brand new reel. Hootie

What has happened to my post??? Seems to have gone way off course. C'MON guys!!! Autumn jig fishing, autumn jig fihing!!!! Hootie!!!
