I'll be tossing some very heavy (3/4 to 1 oz) spinnerbaits in a few weeks,
and I'm putting together a rig to throw them on. I bought a Loomis SBR813C. Now I need the right reel & line to gain 1) Maximal distance 2) Maximal retrieve speed I need to burn these blades as fast as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated guys. Warren |

The new Curado 7:1 might be a idea? and I might try McCoy braided line 20

Not to dis the Curado, but I'm looking for something a bit higher-end. And
if I'm gonna go the braided route I'd probably use 50-65#. Thanks! Warren "Chris S" wrote in message . ..

I hear ya, high quality is always best, but Daiwa's Zillion reel takes in
31" of line per turn, and the cheaper Daiwa Procaster Tournament takes in 34" of line per turn. If the tournament is worth it, the cheaper throw away Procaster might be worth the limited use. But you already know the line too, Seaguar Fluorocarbon 20-lb test - sensitive, low stretch, high abrasion resistant, super low visibility. -- Craig Baugher |

Well if retrieve speed is an issue obviously one of the newer 7:1 reels would be the ticket. TE1170PT 11 Burner 7.0:1 125 yd./12 lb. Right-Hand TE1171PT 11 Burner 7.0:1 125 yd./12 lb. Left-Hand http://www.quantumfishing.com/toureditionPT_reels.asp The PT series in 7:1 looks like a good bet, and I have had very good luck with the PT reels, although I don't own a burner. I like the mag brake if for no other reason than its quickly and easily adjusted as needed. As afar as distance. The smallest limpest line possible. My instinct would be to use 14# Suffix Seige. Its an incredibly good line and very limp for a mono that heavy. Obviously braid might give you heavier strength for the diameter, and Stren Super Braid is smooth enough to cast very well. Still knowing my own skills I would think I would launch a few spinner baits into orbit going for maximum distance with braid because it has no give. Much like your own experiences with flourocarbon line. The most minor catch, backlash, or over run will cause the line to snap with such heavy baits. Mono will give. In fact with such heavy baits I might even move upto 17 Seige, but one of your points was distance.

Thanks Bob, I've heard good things about Quantum lately. Are they small
low-profile reels or more "manly-sized"? My only concern is line capacity. I'm thinking of going with 50-65# Stren Superbraid. Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. .

My only concern is line capacity. I'm thinking of going with 50-65# Stren Superbraid. Warren Its a low profile similar to the Accurist, but still look at the capacity. 125 yards of 12lb seems adequate. 50lb Super Braid is about the same diameter as 12lb mono. I am holding a spool of 65lb Super braid which reads 0.41mm that converts to about .02 inches. I am guessing it will be about the same diameter as a high quality 20lb mono. Anyway... I am guessing 80-90 yards of 50lb should be no problem after putting on 10+ yards of mono backing. P.S. I have heard real good things about the Suffix braid, but I have not had a chance to sample it yet. A quick check of their website shows about the same diamters as the Stren. http://www.sufix.com/FishingLine/USA...nceBraid_s.htm -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com ..

OK Bob, I went with the 7:1 Quantum Tour Edition, just as you suggested. I
had $80 in Cabelas points so it took some of the sting out of the pricetag. Also decided to go with 50# Super Braid Stren. Will update with performance report, I'm gonna heave some big SW's up there.

With a big blade even a minor backlash will launch it into orbit on a cast... yes even with 50lb braid.
