abu switzerland bait baitcaster reel 85300 Garcia Revo X VoltiQ Low Profile Designed for cranking power Abu Garcia Max X Baitcaster

The combo is also extremely light, making it easy for kids to handle during a long day of fishing

The brake force is consistent through the cast, so a small thumb adjustment goes a long way and overshooting is less catastrophic

I have used regular Curado 70 for Crul Academy brand crank which weighs 1/8oz and its getting really good distance

It more than likely just needs a bit of oil

Best Bargain: H2OX Mettle 7 foot MH Pros Incredible value Comfortable handle and reel seat Handles a wide range of lures and lure weights Cons Not the most sensitive rod Key Features 7 feet Medium-heavy power -3/4 ounce lures Split grip cork handle My wife grabbed this rod from me early in the testing process and started whacking bass on soft swimbaits it was sensitive enough that she could feel the bite, but also fairly forgiving, which meant that she couldnt pull the lure away from them

Of the dozens of casting reels Ive tested in the past few years, the new Okuma X-Series lands in the top five, for sure
