I think the curado 200i series was the best looking Curado. then after this reel they went back to green lol
-
I'm always getting the deals in my inbox from St. Croix. but never on the Loomis IMX Pro which is the next rod i want lol
-
I can't do the purple rod thing other than that I'm pretty easy so no St. Croix Mojo rods for me lol that being said I think the Loomis IMX pro rods are super sharp looking. I only have one model (the MBR903C) but i want to add one of the spinning rods to my arsenal in the future.
-
i was looking over on TW and if you look at the reviews of the Bass X everyone is saying their reel seats are breaking. something to consider
-
I just cant do the purple rod thing, so for me it would be Bass X
-
If you can still get them a 7 foot St. Croix Avid rod in either ML power or M power would be awesome I think. I have long felt they are the best bang for the buck out there. not sure if they have been discontinued though because of the new Victory rods??
-
that is some high quality gear right there! Congrats! excellent Tackleporn too

its not cheap but I have owned a G. Loomis SJR700 GL3 for 18 years which is 'mag light' and paired with a 1000 size shimano reel and 6 pound suffix siege it is amazing. it has a very light tip I'm actually looking around for a replacement in the next few years as the reel seat is basically worn out. One of the models I was looking at was the SJR IMX Pro light models (again not cheap but probably awesome) they make a 6 foot Light power and a 7'6 light power. I'm leaning towards the 7'6 as I love long rods.
-
agreed. I have a curado 200i that has the same red brakes and i never touch them. ever. I leave the cast dial set at 3, internals set to 2 on 2 off and i only ever touch the cast control knob
-
I have the IMX Pro MBR 903C and I love it the combo of the MBR taper with the 7'6 length is awesome.
-
I have the Loomis IMX Pro MBR 903C which is a 7'6 MH rod. its awesome for all kinds of things. I like the extra length for casting distance.
-
^ awesome. those Curado 200i's are great reels. I love mine.
-
I have a Loomis IMX Pro MBR 903C that can do everything. its an awesome rod
-
I have the IMX Pro MBR 903C and its amazing. I throw everything on it with a Curado 200i and 12 pound Sufix Siege.
-
MBR903C or 904C?
-
I bought one of the Loomis Travel rods a few years ago from ALF during a Black Friday sale that was on sale for about $100 off. Even with our exchange rate (im from Canada) I was still ahead.
-
I have a curado 200i and it has i think max 12 pounds of drag pressure. When I have it cranked down I still can't pull any off. its enough I think I have a tranx 400 for pike that has 25 pounds of drag pressure Im sure I could pull up a tree stump with it lol
-
Thats one thing I hate about all these 150 size reels they are coming out with. 200 size spools are much better IMO.
-
Remember the in late 90s and early 2000s when people had higher end Shimano spinning reels bind up when wet? they used to call them Shimbindo's lol I believe they have corrected this problem but I heard they were in denial about it for years lol
-
I have a tranx 400A that i use for pike and one day musky (still trying lol) and its amazing. I have no doubt the smaller sizes are just as good. one thing to note though is that the 200 size has the curado K thumbar design that no one liked lol so with the 150 size they changed it thankfully.
-
I've been using Sufix Siege on my Tranx 400A in 20 pound test for big baits. its been great for the last 2 years I've been using it.
-
this was my first baitcasting reel bought boxing week on sale in 1999. love my Curado 200i and Stradic FK reels on my main bass setups:
-
thats true. I have a tranx 400A and its amazing. still, the shiny gold metal of the conquest is really appealing lol
-
I wonder how the Conquest will sell considering is $600 US price. Cost of living is rising everywhere right now.
