This order I placed before midnight tonight has an expected arrival in 25 days ? this is gonna be my pitchin, flippin, jiggin, Carolina rigging and maybe froggin setup ? I wanted an old greenie Curado but idk what I'm doin when I'm looking for one. I hope to add the K later... 

I would definitely recommend against using the 70 as a reel for heavy applications. I love my 70, I have it on a 6’8” m xf jerkbait rod and I couldn’t imagine trying to use it for power techniques. I don’t think that it is nearly as strong as a K which is a beefy reel. I could be wrong and it could be an awesome flipping reel, but with the small handle and how it feels when I fish it I’d way rather use it for finesse stuff.

I think you been babying a beast!!

I use the split tail zakos on chatterbaits.  I got some of the boot tails to throw on spinnerbaits and swimjigs.  

I want to learn how to love finesse presentations, so I picked this up off another member, @Hudson McLean. I really like the feel of it.

 

Still gotta figure out what rod I wanna pair it with, but I'm not in any kind of hurry so I'll probably wait for a sale or something.

 

Somehow ended up with this, from someone up the street. No idea what I’m gonna do with it.

Do you throw big swimbaits, deep crank?  Dang sure would be a good inshore reel if you are coastal or in the gulf.... It's gonna be the ticket for anything where u need a long bombing cast and some power.    

If not you can always sell it and get what you want.... I'm sure the swim bait guys on here might would grab it up

Because of all the posts and reading all the threads on jigs on this site, I had to grab a few more jigs.  The past 2 weeks I have been throwing jigs and catching a lot more snags and even more leaves than fish.  I lost a bunch of jigs fishing in the river and around home so I had to replace some.

The only takeout food we'll order in the age of corona is Italian dinners that are cooked in a tin at 500 degrees F. No cooties! One baked ravioli, one baked eggplant parm, and an order of baked clams runs us $43 at our favorite spot, so that's what I bid on this reel last week. Hey, if I can get a decent reel for the cost of takeout for 2 why not?  Plus I'm on a Quantum buzz since I grabbed a Tour S3 that I'm very happy with. I won this Icon PT for $39.99 + 8.95 usps blue shipping from Simmons which is an authorized Quantum dealer, so a safe bet. If the rain stops I'll get to fish with it today. Solid tank of a reel at 8 oz. It looks to be the exact frame and sideplates as the Vapor PT. Comfy in the palm. It spins nicely. It clicks nicely. ACS Centrifugal braking. We'll see how it goes.

 

 

 

I got this reel last season for $60. It felt great and did really well for me throughout the season but I abused the hell out of it. Frogged through sludge and never even wiped it down so it was Pretty much toast when I went to do some reel maintenance over the winter. It was seized up but after cleaning and greasing it worked again. It just never felt the same. I learned my lesson for all future reels. Don't be like me. Take care of it.

I break down and grease new reels right away, then several times during the season. It takes very little time. We'll see how it goes. So far so good. Nice tank of a reel. Many of it's parts are available at Tackleservice.com if you need something.

Even if you do abuse it you’re only out $49. It’ll handle far more abuse than any other reel in that price range.
