1533, RE: Reel suggestions & help
Posted by dockboy, Sat Jul-16-05 09:27 AM
I consider a light reel for trout trolling or light bass applics. betwwen 7 or 8.5 ounces. I've looked at the Curado 200: their well priced & a good reel but a bit heavy. I've looked at the Calcutta 50 Series: they're great reels but a bit too pricey for my budget ;(
I'll look at the Curado 100. My thinking was about a low-profile reel is that I can get my hands aroung it with ease when I set the hook on a fish when trolling. And, because most reels of this style are meant to hold 100+ yards of 10lb. or more, they'd probably hold 200+ of 6lb., which is more than enough for most trolling applics.
By the way, has anybody tried out BassPro Shops new "finesse reel", the ProLite Finesse? I have an Extreme reel for one of my bass rods & love it, are these reels worth the money?
