Heard good things about Dobyn's. Might have to do a feel test between Kaden and Sierra. Haven't looked a whole lot into jdm. Is it worth to look into?

I'll take a look! Thanks

I appreciate your input. Yea I should've clarified... realistically for me, I will be looking to throw jigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, etc (3/8oz-1/2oz + trailer). As well as some plastics, cranks, and more. If I find myself wanting to use swimbaits and glide baits, I will just need to invest in another rod specifically for that. So just looking for an all around reel for the baits I listed above.

I am now looking at the curado mgl150 because it may suit me better for the lighter baits I will use. Honestly, I'd rarely throw anything over 1.25oz. I will primarily throw in the 1/2oz-3/4oz range with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits etc.

Yes, i'd say 6-8" swimbait is the biggest I'd throw.

I'd say 6" swimbait is the biggest I'd use. My budget is around the $200 range and have access to a variety of brands. I live in Nebraska and will sometimes go up to Okoboji where I have access to a boat. Mostly from shore though.

Hi, I have been looking for a new casting rod and reel. I plan to use it as my jack of all trades and throw about anything on it (from plastic worms to smaller swimbaits). For the reel, I have my eye on the Shimano Curado DC150 and Curado M200. For the rod, I am probably just looking for a 7'0"-7'3" Medium-heavy fast action, but I am open to suggestions. Thank you!

Thanks Glenn! I'll check it out!

There are some good sales going on right now and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts for my first fishing sunglasses. I am willing to spend around or a little over $100.
