(Yes I have a bunch
of Curados, and yes they have drum brakes, and yes they are good reels.
LOL) I just like the mag brakes because they are so much easier to
adjust.

Some day I hope to be good at this.

But Bob... if you have a bunch of Curados, you don't have to adjust
anything
at all after the initial adjustment. I mean, I can switch from
spinnerbaits,
crankbaits, and buzzbaits, to fishing (weighted) soft plastics with the
same
reel. The trick this little tension knob on the crank side; not the
brakes.
As far as fishing weightless plastics, (Senkos excluded as I consider the
heavy salt content weight) you're pretty much going to do better with a
spinning rod and lighter line unless your just going to drop the bait into
an area. The heavier line that you'd normally use for a baitcaster isn't
exactly what the plastics manufacturer had in mind when they developed
their
baits. Fall rates and actions are seriously affected by the use of heavier
line.

Just my two cents worth,
Charles

BTW: How've you been Bob?

Doing great. Both boats are good right now. Business is strong, and I'm
getting ready to take the rest of the day off and go fishing. Can't get
much better than that.
