what kind of line should i put on my new curado 200?i want high capacity and strong for larger bass,halis,and maybe some smaller lings and yellows.is the spool big enough for 20lb?also what stick?i want med/hvy for lures mainly 1/2oz-2 if possible.i want a shimano pole but i need a 2 piece rod for fitting into smaller spaces.any suggestions?

30lb spectra with 20lb top shot

Ok , I use the same kind of reel, I have a teramar rod "TMC-X76M, 7'6", 10-20lb line wt, medium action extra fast " I run 20# brad with a top shot of 15# or 12#, floro, about 3 to 4 feet, that work's for me.The brad's so if they run you into the kelp you wont get cut off. Ive got calico's to YT on that set up with no problem's. It's a great inshore set up and that's what I like to do, hope this help's you out.

thanks cuda i was thinking about some powerpro w/topshot.csp thanks too.anyone use the shimano salmon sticks?they have some 2 peice poles i think in the teramar but its the salmon steelhead category.

I just bought a Daiwa Advantage HSTA 153H. I spooled 130 yrds of PowerPro Phantom Red 30lb along with a short 15 yards of 12 lb mono. Used it at catalina this weekend. I have an old Sabre BassStroker rod thats rated 8-20lb. A lot of the guys were using more sensitive rods.

i have a compre trolling rod that i have paired up with a revo inshore and it telescopes to under 7 ft (i have the 7'10" rod) they have shorter ones that might just get small enough

30 lb spectra on a 7' rod. I have 3 of these setups.

BrokenBackRebel · May-05-2008, 08:45 PM

yep, 30lb spectra is your best bet. top it with whatever you want. look into some telescoping flipping sticks for freshwater bass. the majority of them are 7'2" and a telescoping rod is a little better than a 2-piece IMO. you'll find alot rated for 15-20lb mono or 30lb braid. Don't listen to them, Curados kick ass. just check your drags before and after any big trip.

thanks for the advice guys.i havent been on here in a while to look at the responses.when i posted this i thought i was getting that reel(pretty much thought it was already mine).then i thought i damn aint gonna happen.then i ended up with one(its a loooong story).i was broke and ended up getting a daiwa 7ft rod for it.from what i hear it is a bitchin rod.i guess we will see soon.by the way justin hows "the spot" been producin?havent been there lately.oh well ill see out there sometime.

I would stay away from the powerpro personally. It is wax coated and pretty stiff until the wax wears off. There are several good braids out there to choose from. Jerry Brown, Berkley, Blackwater to name a few. I think you will be much happier with casting distance, and overall performance with uncoated.

We have caught plenty of YT, and even a tuna or two on the Curado 200. Curtis even hooked a Mola on one a couple of years back. Damned thing ate a sardine, and jumped like a marlin. It's a blast! Have fun.

civic_fisher2 · May-09-2008, 07:46 PM

kool.good info there kevan.i just threw mono on there for now but when i need the braid i'll check those out.glad i didnt buy it just yet.i went by your shop last week but you guys close too damn early 4 me.there were cops there at the club that day.you happen to know why?
