What reel (70 or MGX) w St croix jerkbait rod?

[Joshua Vandamm 62]

For jerkbaiting, im Considering getting either a curado 70 or Revo MGX. The MGX is normally 370 but on sale for 220. 

I like them both but the MGX is extremely light (5.4 oz) and small. 

 

Does anyone one reading this own an MGX? I know people will just say Shimano because it’s shimano but im hoping for actual insight. LOL 

 

thanks!

Huge fan of the curado 70 even more so then the curado K for jerkbaits but if you can get a MGX for 220$ id rather have the mgx. The mgx will work great for jerkbaits but i dont think its even close to worth 370 or even 300 for that matter theres alot of other reels much better in that price range in my opinion but for 220 its worth it and a nice reel.

Hade mental breakdown, bought an Aldebaran mgl50... at full price. 

 

No regrets 😁
