on the way to blue marsh!

I can’t remember my first ever but that’s a great story. Gotta love visible cover! Tight lines man

Yeah you’re good. Just some lakes ar closed, no one can or will hastle you about trailering a boat.

What can I say? The curado fit like a glove on my rod, the chronarch felt awkward. It may be physically smaller but the shape didn’t sit well in my hand.

Thank you. I was looking at the chronarch mgl too, but it felt bulky in my hand compared to the curado

Appreciate the detailed response. I’m looking for the feel of the dc.

Thanks guys, would the bigger spool on the k make it balance differently then the dc?

Which non-dc curado is most similar to the curado dc? I just felt one in my hand at a local shop and it was perfect. Wondering which of the cheaper curados closest compares in hand

It’s a champ. I grabbed it during the sale

It’s going on a dobyns 734. Need an all around work horse reel. I’m also looking at a chronarch mgl

Weather and quarantine have me not wanting to fish as much. Curious what brand reels you guys prefer. Debating between a Curado k and a tatula sv103

They’re not similar reels, but a shimano Cardiff and a catalina tw I was looking at the sv103. A couple people recommended it, but was wondering how it compared to the shimano reels in that price point

its tough to get your hands on any reels and actually test them at this time. that is why i'm asking. i have both currently and they're pretty close in performance. was just curious what others thought.

Title says it all. Which brand do you prefer, and why? I'm in the market for a new reel, and can't decide which to go with. budget is 150-200$. any help appreciated

I also have the Catalina TW. Wondering if I should just throw it on the 734, and put a cheaper reel on my swimbait rod.

A few people have recommended the sv. I’m looking at the new 103

150-230$

Title says it all. I can’t decide between a daiwa/shimano to pair with my dobyns champ 734. Any help appreciated

Thank you. Heading back up there this weekend

Dang! I got skunked up there. Were they in the main lake still or no wake

I was thinking of grabbing a bullgill and a 4x4 for both profiles to start out. I’m throwing all these on a dobyns 806. I also see a lot of these baits hold value pretty well which gives me piece of mind if I end up not liking one.

Thing looks like awesome though. Would you recommend the normal bullgill over the glide then?

Oh is it? I thought it was the same profile as the bullgill.

Thanks, I was considering many of the baits you listed already. I see bullshad has a drop for their gill glide today, I’m tempted to grab one because they’re hard to come by apparently.

Worse comes to worst I’d go through dobyns directly, but rather not pay the shipping lol
