You got a pic of that brake? I got shimano brakes Falling outta the kitchen cabinets/ different colors/different weights.. I know nothing about That reel you have so..post a pic or pm me. If I can help you.. I will

Unlike fluorocarbon these baits are truly invisible

Yup... Spool weight is 11 grams on 50/51 I believe at 15 grams on curado I 300e don't know.... But it's a powerhouse reel Musky fishers like it, salt guys like it, I like it for Swim baits, 2oz crankbaits... Even golden shiners! Big rigs are its preferred work! The curado 50e is in you're price range.. And will Work awesome on that Nrx !!

Real nice story! Nice pictures... That's a great fishery.... Nicely done! Thanks for sharing...

Huge diff, between a curado 300e, or D and the Say curado 50/51 platform ... You would be better Served looking for a curado 50/51 for that Rod! Like others have said... A chronarch 50/ 51 e A little tighter reel... A couple little tweaks.. A different color? With a little patience I think you Will find a curado 50... Later you can even get a lighter spool... I just put Abec 7 spool bearings in My curado 51 also Arb bearings in place of handle bushings and replaced the light grey septons with the dark choclate grips from a Cte200gt.... It's a little sweeter now...

I prefer shimano for many reasons.... However, If the lews is working real well for you .. Maybe Stick with them? Shimanos are very quite on both Outcast and retrieve...curado I 200Hg is very,very Nice for the cost..... Good luck on you're decision

Can you see the beds? If so pitching soft baits Into the beds... A drop shot rig / or a multitude of Other plastic rigs Can work....try dead sticking.. While still trying to impart some action... They lock down for a while... You can still catch them! If you cannot see beds.... Slow drag a football jig/ crawfish... And fire away on casting... Changing angles and be patient. Good luck

I prefer to flip these.. But I do use them as a jig trailer too.... Not big on just as a stand alone casting bait... Only on jigs or close range combat!

These been working real well. Jackall Tn60 And Tn70

That fish looks hungry alright! She thumped that Frog!

That's ...... Big Mama!!!! 8.972

I use Gl2 BC rods .... They are plenty sensitive.. The guides are old school but they are strong And durable... Tapers are very good..... I got mine Used... Same as new for 60% of retail... I like mine just fine... Enjoy you're new rod and reel I believe you will!

What he said....

Lol!!!! Yea, nothing personal guy... I never, ever Needed a rattle on a plastic worm... However I do wish you all the best in fishing joy!

Idk.... In the state of indiana they put them up For auction.... Good luck

Yes.... I know you're pain... And you're joy, I miss my kids to the point of sickness... I wish I could say it gets easier with time... It just doesn't .. Not for me Great pic!

Oink.. Oink.. Oink...

Idk... It seems like you are stressing more about Upcoming elections... I understand you're predicament .... It also sounds as if you have very Little support from the actual contract you all are Currently dealing with...too bad! Do you're duty... That's all you can do...

Don't know you're reel size (spinning ) but maybe 6 pd..? It's what I use when I need to other than That.... I just prefer a softer co- poly.. Or triple fish

Yea I agree with this...

I think you are just fine.. To begin..... Maybe later.. Go 7' on the rod Trig plastic worms... Just jerk hard on hook set Reel is good ... Keeping it simple to begin will Hopefully yield great enjoyment .... Have fun!

Nicely done!! Gotta love a big ole jig fish! Now for scene 2...... Or Encore!

Many years ago... Gillraker made a color that I personally have never seen since.... One was a U tale 7" plastic worm..... Black spinal core Also Red spinal core...... A translucent outer with A colored inner core... It was my all time best producing bigger fish color ...5 to 8llb largies in Florida circa.... 87? Maybe....

Yes , I see you're point here... There is no contest Between Saltwater fish types and freshwater largemouth or smallmouth bass fishes.... Thereby requirements for freshwater use.. Would, I suppose, still have great need for a strong bail system? But the true need of a saltwater tuff reel Vs.. A only freshwater small fish reel would be vastly different . In my case the reel would be only For freshwater.... So it seems, for me at least.. Less is more.....?

You Guys referring to the 70's circa cardinal 4? I was about 13 or so and if it was green? I think..? Was considered the must have spinner... Rear drag knob... Man... Always wanted that reel... Never got one.... Seems like guys are getting good copy's or not.... I like my shimano baitcasters real well..... But.. Spinning? Yea... No so much... Decisions, Decisions...
