Curado 100 or Daiwa Sol

Featured Replies

I'm looking at these 2 reels for a g-loomis mossyback jig and worm rod bcr853. Unless you can guys can recommend something else. So this poll is to help me decide what would be best.

Reel for a 7' MH Loomis Mossyback, used for jigs and worms..

CU100D: IPC 25", Line: 10/105, 12/85, 14/70, MaxDrags: 10.0lb., Gear Ratio: 6.2:1, Reel Weight: 7.4oz.

TD SOL: IPC 23.6", Line: 10/105, 12/90, Max Drag: 8.8lb, Gear Ratio: 5.8:1, Reel Weight: 7.4oz

With these baits you do need a well balanced system, and a reel that will be able to handle the line you intend to use.. But IMPO the most important thing in the reel I would use on a rig for these baits would be the ability to turn the fishes head, and, change his/her direction quickly.

With either of these reels your looking at, the whole system will probably balance out the same no matter what reel. But the key ingredient's in the system would be the max drag, and the IPC (gear ratio), and on all accounts the Shimano® wins.

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!  

I have(had) both reels.  The Curado hasn't been used in years so I gave it to a very good friend who was just getting started in baitcasting.  I kept the Sol and use it daily.

From those two I would go with the Sol, not that the Curado is bad ( on the contrary ) it 's only the that the Sol is a better easier caster that will outcast the Curado for a couple of yards with the lighter offerings. But there 's a detail with the Sol, it doesn 't have clicking drag star like the Curado does, some see that as a small inconvinience, I don 't have a problem with it.
