it only makes the noise on the retrieve as far as i can hear, i think it is the spool bearing because the noise isnt a scratchy noise like one that a small burr on the spool would create. how do i oil these bearings, like where do i find them? i'm not reel savvy..

So ive had this curado K for two years now with no problems, finally something arose.. a loud shuffling noise coming from the reel. So I took out the spool to check if the sound was inside the reel and it isn't. I checked around the spool and I managed to somehow create a near microscopic nick where the ring around the spool connects to the reels frame. and when i turn the handle that seems to be the point of contact that creates the shuffling sound. so where can I buy a replacement spool ,or is there any better ideas of where this sound could be coming from?

yup, that's the deal i was lookin at and I think I've made my decision. thanks for the reply

I use straight braid for topwaters

holy cow, how long do you think that sale will last?

I'm gonna get a frogging and flipping rod and am lookin' into the slx rods, probably the 7'2" heavy, do any of you have experience with that particular rod? or the slx rod lineup in general? I think for the reel I'm going with the new slx xt...

lol I have a 703c and 702spinning

I'm going to take the plunge into frogging and Flippin and need a rod, I'm looking at the dobyns fury line because I already have 2 and love them.. would the 735 be a good stick for those applications?

There are bass down at south Lake in the Tahoe keys but that's a way's from where you will be...

there is a micro series and a regular guide series I'm gonna get the regular one

problem is I'm arachnophobic.

odd, I'd expect the reel to be toast and the rod to be functional

I think I'm gonna go with the 704, I have a 703 which isnt a true med hvy more like a med so I'm gonna go with the 704 to step up a power. Also I'm stepping up in the line to the Sierra series becuz I mainly want to use it for t-rigs and jigs and want more sensitivity..

what would be the difference besides length from the 704 to the 734? is there any?

I have the 703c so I might get the 734c instead of the 735
