I own a curado 200sf a 100b and the older castaic reel without the free pinion gear. The castaic reel seems to be the smothest of the three when im retreveing my spinnerbait or crank. Im feeling some gear on the free pinion reels. This is verry minor vibration but it does take away from the feel of my bait. Does anyone else have this complaint. Im thinking of going with a chronarch without the free pinion for my spinnerbait and crankbait rods. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
