Super User Jimzee Posted February 4, 2011 Super User Share Posted February 4, 2011 Pretty hard to beat the looks of the Core/Cumara combo. That CI4 is probably the best looking spinning reel on the market. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-G Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Agreed, the Cumara looks good with a Curado too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 WOW, those Core/Cumara pics are SHARP!!! I'm definitely gonna post some new pics. Like Fat-G said, I've gotten new gear since then. My stuff was posted at the bottom of page 1 when this thread was new. Since then I've gotten a Citica E, a Curado E7, and a Symetre, so I'm gonna do some more pics. ;D Man, that Curado just above me is really LOADED with line!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably have to go to the Richmond BPS. I just want one for my Citica, since I fell and bent the stock handle. Plus it would look cool.

Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'd be very surprised if that handle from a Carbonlite fit the Citica. I can all but guarantee that it wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Since this it tackle porn I kept with the theme of things and laid them all out on a bed. ;D Here is my current lineup. I'll be fishing with all of these this year unless I get anything else new, which I probably will. ;D Here's the Shimano baitcast set ups I have. The Curado E7 is on a 6'6" MH/F Compre rod, and the Citica is on a 6'6" M/F Compre rod. The Curado combo will handle spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, jigs, and C-rigs primarily. The Citica combo covers jerkbaits, t-rigs, and some topwaters. Here are my "it'll do" crankbait setups. I shouldn't be so hard on them actually, I really like the Ugly Stik Lite Pro rods and the BPS Extremes aren't bad either. But someday I'll upgrade to Curado E5's on Compre cranking rods. Until then I have these. There's a 5.4:1 ratio reel on a 7' medium for deep cranks. This rod has a fairly long handle compared to the other one (it's the one with the green crankbait on it). Then there's a 6.4:1 ratio reel on a 6'6" medium for shallow and mid depth cranks (the one with the red crankbait on it). The reels have been modified to be 9 bearing versions. I added an extra bearing to each crank paddle to make them that much slicker feeling while cranking. The spinning rods are a Shimano Symetre 2500FJ on a 6'6" M/F Quantum Dance Class IM-6 rod for topwaters and jerkbaits, a Pflueger President 6735 on a 6' medium Shakespeare Ugly Stik Lite Pro that I use for throwing weightless plastics (I have it, may as well use it), and a Pflueger Trion 4730GX on a 6' M/F Quest LS-7 (IM-7 graphite) rod from Dick's that I use for shakyheads and other lightweight lures. So far, these are all the Shimano reels I've managed to get. I'll eventually have ALL Shimano reels, and quite likely rods as well, though there are a few non-Shimano rods that I do like. Oh, and I'll never get rid of my Ugly Stiks!!! They'll get a couple of Shimano Cardiffs and go catfishing if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Goose52 Posted February 8, 2011 Super User Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well, this was a fun thread last year so I guess I'll play. I posted a photo of my meager collection last year back in post #119. Since then, I've got some rods down from the attic, bought some new rods, got some new reels, and ended up with a few more combos than I thought I'd have...the bait monkey has been a bit busy. In addition to what's in the photos, I have a fly rod and some spin-cast stuff. No need for close-ups, there's nothing fancy - just tools... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Goose52 Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Share Posted February 9, 2011 How do you like the 50e? It's a nice reel, good quality, casts well. It's just a tiny bit smaller in height than my BPS reels (1/8") so it palms well. However, there are a number of features on the BPS Carbonlite (next to the 50E in the photo) that I prefer over the Shimano... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
