    Rod is more important than reel when it comes to casting. Someone was probably trying to cast an 1/8 ounce shaky head on 25lb fluoro, on a mh rod and blamed it in the reel

  • This deserves the big guy:  

  • For the Jerkbait:   I would get the the Curado/Scorpion 70. The small profile will feel better as you will be jerking it. I have the Scorpion with St. Croix Mojo Bass (M/F). The line will just be

what do you guys think of a Citica 6.3 for 89 $ vs a curado 201 in ibeleve 6.3 or 7.2 for 110.

Citica G or I?

its the latest one and I'm getting a curado now for 110, unless y'all think otherwise

I'd get the Citica I if you're strapped for cash AND not planning to fish saltwater with it.

I hear they don't cast to far, that is the Curados...

You see the videos of the guy testing the distance of the new 200K? One internal on and the dial at 2 he was getting like 195 feet with a 1/2 oz plug.

 wow thats really far. 

 

Update: no reels purchased yet, but I am considering getting one aldebaren or metanium, or two curado 70/ks. not sure which way to go.

If I were you - I would get the Curado 71 (since you are a lefty). 

 

unless you are gotta slap that Aldebaran on your NRX 854C 

You have enough gear.  I've seen your set ups listed in another one of your threads.....why add 2 of the same reels that aren't really that much of a step up?  Buy the Metanium MGL if you have the 45% sponsor discount and the bucks to drop.  Other than it's shockingly light weight I don't think the Aldebaran is that great of a reel for the price tag.  It casts light lures well but the MGL spools in the Casitas JDM, Chronarch, and Metanium perform nearly as well IMO and carry enough line so you can still use them for cranking and topwater.
