I'd get a Shimano e series Curado or Citica

Only thing I ever use is 4,5,6 pound sunline sniper fc.

7 foot M xf is what I use for tubes.

I use 12 pound suffix mono for top water.

Is get a Shimano Sahara or Sedona for that price.

I really like Megabass dog x in sexy shad...

awesome fish!

good choice I own the same rod and love it great for swimbaits and heavy jigs even some frogs!

id get the ci4 I own 2 and love them both my friend has a sustain and we cant tell the difference besides the ci4 being lighter...

look for a lightly used one on the flea market or ebay...

Yup!

That suckes to snap a rod like that.. I've had the exact same thing happen and your thinking to yourself "o no!!!!"

I'd get a Shimano Citica E at that price...

I second this. I owned a t3 for a while and liked the reel but hated the t wing....

They feel cheaper made.

too bad...

are they left hand? very interested if they are...

Have used metanium but of course it's better it cost twice as much! I'd rather stick with the curados , chronarchs and citicas.

fishing lopez this last weekand. not good fishing only caught 2 dinks and one almost keeper. also incidentally hooked 2 trout. there was a big tournament going on witch may have been part of the problem... cant wait to get up and fish trinity!!

I think you are right in saying the G is better than the B but I don't think the I series is as good as the E. the D is a good series as well though...

does anyone agree with me that shimano baitcasting reels have gone down in quality? I wont be buying anything but the E series from now on. I just really dislike the new I series and the g series. does anyone agree with me or do you think otherwise? thanks for the feedback I'm eager to see what yall think.
