#3497, "RE: Which low profile reel for swimbaits"
In response to In response to 3


  

          

For about 2 years(before I got my Calcutta 300 TE)I was using a Shimano Curado 200 Super Free to wing big baits on 20 lb. The Super Free reels from Shimano are the only low profile reels that are fast enough, right as you cast, to keep up with a big heavy bait flying through the air. This speed of free-spool is important so that you can get maximum casting distance, and the reel responds right away to your cast, so you won't backlash as easily.

The reason for the Curado over the Chronarch for me was that the Curado has a spool that is just a bit wider, so you can hold a little more line and cast that heavier line better. Plus the Curado reels are bullet proof, there have been plenty discussions on this forum about their quality and that of the Shimano service. Remember "Curado 200 Super Free", the regular Curado won't do you much good.
