The Curado MGL 150 is currently my favorite baitcaster. I feel like I just haven't found the optimal setup for my DC. It performs fine. I just like the MGL better.
-
Haven't had any issues fishing for hours at a time.

I got the Dobyns Kayden 610 4cb paired with the Curado MGL. Great for jerkbaits, walking baits, etc. Really enjoy it. Can't imagine the Champion series wouldn't be equally as enjoyable.

I have had the BG2500 for a year. I got that size so I could use it with popping corks for saltwater along with bankfishing. It works for bankfishing. But, I'm looking to get a smaller reel 1000 size for this application. The 2500 is overkill.

I'd go Shimano Curado MGL and not spend the full $200.
-
The MGL 150 is my new favorite reel. I also have the Scorpion DC 2021 with the MGL spool. But, I think I prefer the manual brake setting of the MGL 150 to the DC.
-
Yes. I only have 6 combos, though.
-
I ended up going with a Kayden 610 4cb. Put the MGL 150 on it for a bit. But, will likely swap the Scorpion DC on it and use it for jerkbaits.
-
I've had a 72 MH for over a year, and it is pretty stout. I can't imagine it breaking under normal use.
-
Put my MGL 150 on a Kayden 610 4cb to play around a little this evening. Man that pairing feels good. For anyone wanting the DC but debating the MGL spool, you can get the Scorpion DC which has the MGL spool. That MGL spool is so freaking good though. Not sure I can go back to not using one.
-
Would it make sense to go with a Moderate to Slow action rod to go along with the fast action and moderate fast action rods I already have? If so, would a M or MH make more sense?
-
Primarily lake/pond fishing for bass, from shore and boat. Occasionally go inshore/marsh for speckled trout, red fish, bass, flounder, etc from boat. I've never fished anywhere that would require a heavy rod. If I did that, I'd be with someone else borrowing gear.

Just got the MGL 150 myself from Academy for 20% off. Hoping it is as good as you guys say. I'm sure it will be.
