Just picked up a couple curado 51E's from TW for $109.99. Just wanted to see what kind of setup's other people have with this reel and what type of fishing they typically do with their setup. Thanks.

I have 51's on everything from Cumara's and GLX to NRX. Some Crankbait rods thrown in, too. I use them for jigs, plastics, squarebills, shorties; in short I have them on rods and use them to catch fish. I've even got a couple tuned for tiny jerkbaits, topwaters, and jigs. (3/64 to 1/4)

I did the same last week. Mine is set up for plastics and light jigs. It is on a Shimano vct70mh fast (I know, an antique). I have 50# Pline braid on it, but may try floro in the near future. I mainly shore fish for largemouth.

I have one and put it on a 7' Med rod, I was planning to use it for light, 1/8, T-rigs. I have not used it yet. I was also considering using it for throwing small cranks like a Bandit 200 with 10lb line. What do you think?
