Hey Osprey,

Yesterday I bought a 1143 Loomie and a 5:1 Curado just like you, man. We must be on the same wavelength or something. I opted for the 5:1 because I am going to use this setup for huckin' spoons. I have several 6:1 Curado's and they rip fast but I have a feeling that this 5:1 is going to be killer for spoons when you have to just barely crank to give it action. If I'm wrong, then next time I'm fishing next to Reiter Rat, then I'll pull the old bait and switch and get his 6:1 Curado. I am going to baptize this new setup tomorrow on some bass down at Green Lake...NOT!!! Huh, huh, huh, he said bass.
