bait cast reel suggestions

Post by BIG GAV » Fri Nov 11, 2016 6:16 pm

With cod season just round the corner I'm upgrading my bc! Today I put a deposit on a daiwa commander tough ombré rod cause sometimes u gotta treat yourself!

I haven't decided on a reel to match it with yet so was hoping to find some suggestions n feedback.. I've had the daiwa tatula in mind but as always open to suggestions!

Cheers in advance

I bought a new model curado 200pg (second hand $120) and the 10-20lb 6'6 dam super basser $49 from motackle. The rod is absolutely sick. The best value rod I've ever bought.

After some more research I'm still leaning towards the tatula. heavier drag bigger spoil and designed for flogging out larger lures..

Now I gotta smash out the work n get it ready before dec 1... (fingers crossed)

Spool. Probably an auto correct thing.

Gav, I've got the curado Hg and I really like it. I think you've had a few casts with it that time we caught up for a fish. I should have gotten the low ratio though. The tatula is also one I heard good things about but haven't used. I don't reckon you could go wrong with either choice.

Sorry dropped my phone off the roof screen is buggered so lots of typos now.. I meant spool*

Basti man, as soon as I used ur rod I knew I needed a longer rod n smoother reel.. it's becoming a toss up between the tatula hd n the hlc.. with the wide pools n rivers I fish distance is vital..

I wouldn't need a lot of 30lb braid anyway but guess it's better to have it n not need it ae..

Basti, keen for another session at that hole this season? I reckon first light instead of all nighters tho haha damn it got cold!
