Ok so im kinda new to baitcasting reels, but i want something that will last me a while and also be worth the money and work for the water im fishing. I live in central Ohio but im moving to Nort Port, Florida in march and im trying to figure out if i should go with the *** ***. I like this reel because its salt water ready, holds a load of line and has a crazy amount of maximum drag. Im also interest in a Shimano Curado K since the brand itself seems really dependable abll over. This reel does hold less line and has less drag but something tells me its less of a gamble. Anyone have opionions on this subject to help me not regret the money i spend. I would like to add that down in florida i will.be doing more fresh water fishing on canals, ponds and some trips to The Big O with a buddy of mine.
