Rod / Reel Pairing Help

Featured Replies

Posted this once in the wrong forum. Sorry bout that!

 

OK, here's the deal.  Last season I was given a BPS Xtreme 6' medium rod with a Curado CU200.  I purchased a Falcon Bucoo 6' 10" MHF rod and paired it with a Lew's Tourney MB 7.5:1. 

 

The Bucco worked well for me but I felt it was a little light.  So this year, I bought a St Croix Mojo Bass in MHF.  Now, my question is this, if you had the following gear, how would you pair it?

 

6' BPS Xtreme M

6' 10" Falcon Buccoo MHF

7' 1" St Croix Mojo Bass MHF

 

Shimano Curado CU200 6.3:1(?)

Lew's Tourney MB 7.5:1

Another ~$150.00 reel (suggestions)

 

Let's hear what ya think.  I was using the BPS for top waters and shallow cranks but I'm up to hearing anything.  

 

Thanks

Bass Pro Extreme---Shimano Curado...topwater, cranks, jerkbaits

Falcon Bucco---Lews...jig t-rig

St Croix---Daiwa Tatula or Tatula ct 7:3:1 for spinnerbait, buzzbaits, whopper plopper, toad...etc both reels can be had for around $100 from Ebay or tackle trap

You're the second person that's recommended the Tatula.  I really like the Lew's but may have to give the Tatula a shot.  Thanks

 

I'd keep the lews on the mojo and use it for jigs.I'd put the Curado on the falcon and use it for T-rigs.The BPS I'd put a cheap reel on it and let company use it.Then I'd take that 150 or so budget and buy a 100 dollar Abu Garcia reel like the SX in 6.3:1 and a 7' MM Vengance rod for crankbaits.
