Thanks for all the replies, but I have to stick to the confidence factor and that is Daiwa for bait casting. The Curado 200 DHSV is a great reel but I can't get used to the size and weight, ( purchased and sold 2 of them last fall). Love the size and weight of my TD Zillion (8.6oz) and TD Fuego (7.4oz). These reels are rock solid. So I decided to stay with Daiwa and purchased a TDA 153 HSTA. 11bb @ 8.5oz. gear ratio of 6:3.1. with a line capacity of 140yrds of 12lb. Very good reviews. Thanks........... Reels are for winter brats only.......
