Need a new bait caster

Featured Replies

Hey Y'all,

Im in the market for another new baitcaster this year.  Im looking for something that could throw some Bomber Fat A's with ease.  I can throw some of the smaller crankbaits decent but I want something that can really get them out there.  I was looking at the Pflueger Summit.

Well, we have a group of Mooks that really

like their Pfluegers, another that favor Diawa,

others who lean towards Abu Garcias and even

a few that like various house names!

My "favorite" is Shimano. You might want to look

at the Curado which is on sale and fits within your

pricing parameters:

Hey,

Price isnt much of an issue.  I heard that a ported spool would be better for what I want.

If your aiming to cast crankbaits only with a new reel, you might start with a specific rod, something with a Mod. to Fast action, a soft tip and enough power to handle the size fish you want catch.  If you looking to cast 1/4 to 3/8 cranks, I would look at the Curado 200DPV 5.0:1 and a Loomis CBR843.

One other to consider is the Daiwa Zillion Crazy cranker (JDM).  I have yet to fish this one but I keep hearing how good it is from a fishing buddy who has one.  I look forward to putting this reel in my hand this summer.  

the new team daiwa advantage  153htsa i just got one awesome reel for the price 150 it throws everything good from weightless to big cranks.
