I didn't say a word about it breaking.... I like alloy better... I will pay to have it .. It's what I want... As far as diawa... Seems a lot of company's use some form of polymer technology or carbon in different ways.... Before long I will order a couple carbon fiber handles....but I have not ever trashed a diawa reel or owner.... And I am a shimano fanboy. Peace & out......

Thank you John G I appreciate you're time and help! Always love to learn new things here!

So that looks good.. And it's a alloy star? So I could order a drag star from a 201e ? What else would I need for that.. I like the caps too!!

Great! Thanks Rippin-Lips Thanks J Francho ! I appreciate that much...

So I am ditching the plastic star and I am going to order a core 51 drag star for my curado 51... I wonder if I need the drag click plate as well? I know someone has done this.. I think... Well can a supertuner lend a helping hand?

Dude me and you listen to same music! Metallica and 5FDP are serious elevators of blood pressure and adrenal flow . Turn it on when I get tired and had enuff lake noise!

Yes sir... Lived in Florida 10 years and they work very well there... But so did floating , large rapalas The devils horse is a awesome bait!

While pitching a 5" senko into the wind... With serious gust to 25 mph I was still getting 60' Curado I is so far a amazing reel..initial setting 2 brakes on... Adjustment dial at 1 ... 3 maybe 4 loose coils... Bumped adjustment dial from 1 to 3 no more loose coils... It's a long distance caster too.... 3/4 oz on heavy 7'6" loomis I was able to get 200 feet over and over and over. It's casting ability competes head to head with my CTE200GT... So far.. I really love this reel. Center clutch is super nice... You get a lot of reel at 179.99 No bb flush either... I won't even bother till warranty expires. I will be looking for a lefty before long!

Xr100 & Xr75 & Xrk100 Colors... Blue shiner , chrome black , gold black Foxy lady , Tilapia ,royal red Also use rapala clackin raps various sizes and colors

I hear ya hootiebenji Those rods are special! Let us know how much you love them!!

Curado I ....it's really awesome so far CuradoD or E or chronarch E that said if you are On a tight budget then aG I guess it's solid most Users say so... I don't like it or own one but it may work out for you.

I really didn't read a review of the Tatula... But rather a statement... It just seems to me plain and simple... He likes the 300e over the Tat... The end! Next........

Yea Iam with you fellers!

Good job! Enjoy using them!

Mentholated cough drops

Geez.... Beetle spin.... Haven't used one since 79 Yea.... I need to revisit that bait for fun sakes! Thanks for the reminder... Used to kill em on that bait in creeks and ponds

I do have colored tungston... And polished... I buy whatever I need at the best price I do believe color matters... Just not on flippin weights

Exactly right!.... Enuff said.... Next..

Well since you ask.... I think if it's in very good cond..? Yes ..not so good... Maybe pass Rod is 6 years...old .. As far as length I have seen Many many times where that 6'6" to 6'9" range was/ is exactly what I needed Good luck! Hope you enjoy ur loomis!

That's a cool pic... Speedbead! Gotta love that!

Crawdaddys!! Rusty and Red swamp

Yo-Zuri Hybrd 20# then cxx-strong 20 or 25 While I simply don't rely on florocarbon lines seaguar makes a good one.. Tryed red label didn't care for it. However, it's ok in soft cover situations

Yes that is quite a fish.... Maybe a rainbow colored senko?

Snookalot....0119 you are right... Mitch.... You are right Fishing for small fish as in LMB,as in money on the line, getting the bass in quickly, is very important . I learned very long ago to pump and reel down.... I then learned how to water ski a bigmouth in.. I only fish for joy and I apply my way of doing it when I need or want to. Big fish ? It's just my instinct to pump and reel.. Smaller species is most often quickly cranked in for me. I just don't see a point in pump and reel on a 2 pound largemouth... But I choose how I fight the fish !
