Shimano Curado... Haven't used them for SoCal salt but I've used em in Oregon for steelhead and salmon. Great little reels!

So what are you using in your photo?

nmbrinkman · 06-19-2008, 02:07 PM

Avet MXL and shimano TLD star drags... You asked about baitcasters, not conventional reels right?

Conventional reels... I need something that I can put lighter line on. Less than 12lbs. I like to fish spotties and flatties

For light line my favorite reel on the market is the Daiwa Coastal. Super smooth, low maintenance (Ive oiled mine 2 times in 3 years and they are still super smooth), wet drags, and really light.

Just saw that you wanted round, Well the Daiwa Luna is awesome. Or the good old Calcutta.

I will check them out. Gotta gift card from Bass Pro shop! can't wait to spend it!

I bought my Malibu at OEX Sunset! Great service and always great fishing advice! I always stumble in and ask way to many questions. Thay always take time to answer them. (mostly about spotties)

Malibu Johnny!
