How are you guys using your 6.2:1. Mine isn't ideal for chatterbaits, spinnerbaits or swim jigs, which I initially thought it would be perfect for. I have it paired with a Dobyns 734 Fury.

 

What would you use this reel for? 

I don't have a Curado - but 6.2:1 screams crankbaits to me.

Yep, in a perfect it would be a crankbait reel, but I'm using the SLX as my crankbait rod. 

Second choice - bottom contact...T-Rigs, C-Rigs, bottom jigs.

What makes it bad for chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, swim jigs?

Tatula CT 7.3 is doing the work there.

It feels like the lure is controlling the reel not the reel controlling the lure. I'm thinking maybe a Curado K or Tatula 150. I need more beefiness.
