Is it really that good. What reel would you compare it to? A metanium, Curado DC, or even better?

Thanks for the advice. I want to try and stay under the 200 budget. I also want to try something other than lews, revos, and daiwas. In all my year's of baitcasting, the only time I tried a shimano was the chronarch my friend lent me when I forgot my revo sx. Super impressive. I was scared of the price of shimano for so long, but the bait monkey has been whispering in my ear for quite a while about the curado series, and now I am convinced I need one. Would an mgl work?

Thanks. I'm a bank fisherman ever since I made a horrible decision of selling my Old Town. I would like an all around workhorse reel, I don't need one for lighter baits, because I have a spinning setup with 6 lb flouro. I just want one that can bomb 3/8+ oz lures into the teeth of the wind I'm still leaning towards a Curado K or mgl.

Believe it or not, the Tatula HD. I may have just gotten a bad one, but it kept locking up when I was reeling.

I had some really bad experiences with my daiwa reels. I want to try Shimano, too. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I also need a 200 size reel at least because I'm also on a mission to empty those nasty carp from my reservoir for good. Thanks, the Fury was given to me as a gift. The Aird X is a great frogging rod, and at a good price but I will upgrade.

The thing is, I have 800 dollars left for my reel, rod, lines and lures. I divided up my two reels for a $200 dollar budget and don't want to eat up the lure money. I also sold my kayak (stupid decision) and am now a bank fisherman. I heard the curado K can empty a spool for heavier lures, which I am using my baitcaster for. What are your suggestions.

each baitcaster can be under 200 btw

I recently sold all my old tackle at a yard sale to get some new blood in my tackle box. This time, I want to put more money into lures than getting a ton of reels like I had done before. I'm getting a mh Dobyns Fury and an heavy Aird X, and I have a spinning outfit with 6 lb flouro. I'm thinking about getting one or two baitcasters under $200, and spooling with 40 lb powerpro. What are your suggestoins?

What color do you like?

The reviews said it wasn't meant for walking. But I guess they were wrong.

I thought you can't walk the trophy series?

The horn toad looks really nice. Thanks for the info. ***horny toad*** (auto correct)

I usually fish a highland reservoir, but recently I found a shallow creek where I saw some bass blowing up on forage. I also saw a lot of frogs there, so I want to buy some topwater frogs. Are there a few frogs that can cover all of the boards for me under $25? The bass are northern bass, so smaller frogs will work better.

Launch frog xs's have some weight to them but offer a downsized presentation.

If it was barbed that would be 100% hospital. Leaving it out like that could get it infected too

Forget about Goliath tiger fish. Jeremy Wade would have his hands full there.

What are some of the most dangerous/painful or just scary experiences you had while fishing?

The pop-r's are in a class of their own. The wee craw was quite a lure, too.

The bait monkey hides lures from me so I can keep spending, but my friend found a wpl 90 in munky butt that I can't seem to find at dick's anymore.

I would want the walleye cheaters to join bassresource just to give them a piece of my mind.

The problem with the prop bait was that it was replaced by a whopper plopper. What no one realizes is that the whopper plopper will die off after some time, but the prop bait has a more natural noise that won't throw off fish.

What are some time tried lures or lure designs that still work but no one really throws anymore. Like a hula popper or a jitterbug.
