Re: Favorite Calico Reel

I fish a Cardiff 200 on a Shimano Clarus 7'6" flippin stick,15 lb P-line Fluroclear. This is my go to set up, flippin swimbaits, crankbaits, light iron, bait. The 200 is an awsome reel. No failure as of yet, and excellent corosion resistance. Also check out the new Abu Garcia Record in the 6500 size, it casts a mile, has an extremely smooth drag system, and a power handle.
