Swimbait Reel
I am getting into swimbait fishing I just bought the Okuma split grip big bait special and need a reel to put on it now I have shimano curados but I wasn't sure on the line capacity and thought maybe a round reel would be better.Any help with this matter would be great thanks

Re: Swimbait Reel
ive used the shimano curados for swimbait. they are ok its just the calcutta 400 is way better when throwin bigger swimbait.
Re: Swimbait Reel
Anther reel to consider is the Quantum Cabo (designed for salt water) reels. If you're throwing mono, the CBC30 has a wide spool that you can get a lot of line on. For braid, the CBC20 is about the size of your Curado. These are just a bit more heavy duty than the Curados IMHO.

Re: Swimbait Reel
If your looking for a good reel for different size baits then the
Luna 253. If your throwing the bigger swimbaits then the Luna 300 would be the way to go.

First one in the box settles the nerves!
Re: Swimbait Reel
How about the new Curado 300. It has excellent line capacity and a 6:3:1 gear ratio and costs only $249.00. A nice Christmas present? Tell Santa!
