Baitcaster for a swimbait rod?

Featured Replies

I was wondering witch type of baitcaster would be better for a swimbait rod the low profile or the round reels?

Much of it depends on personal preference, and the size/weight of the swimbaits you'll be tossing.  Everything from a standard 200 sized reel for smaller swimbaits - paddletails, bbz shad, etc. are fine.  If you're going to be tossing 10" trout type swimbaits on 30lb line, I'd opt for a larger round reel like the Calcutta TE 400.  The curado 300 makes a good mid sized swimbait reel in a LP design.  Good luck!

Agreed...but I do fish with a Chronarch 101..but having more line capacity is better.

I use a Revo Toro with no problems.

I chose a Curado 300 for my swimbait rod because I prefer low profile reels. I haven't used it for any huge lures, but it performs well with the mid-size swimbaits.

I use a Quantum Mantra with no problems. Also, a Pflueger President spinning reel.

For baits under 3oz I used to use a Toro, now I use a Revo Inshore. Works great. For bigger stuff,Ii use a Daiwa Luna 300.
