Baitcaster

I need a good baitcasting reel or cranking, I just startd using
crankbaits this summer, I had some god luck with a 6.3.1 when sing deep
divers 10-12 ft.

Shimano Scorpion, I love them

Shimano Curado 200 or 100.

Shimano Scorpion 1000 (Japan), I have 2, they are nice but remember, USA
Shimano does not service them.

I'll second the vote for Curados. If you're looking to use a reel primarily
for crankbaits, you might want to consider the 3.8:1 retrieve ratio model.
It'll be easier to crank big lipped baits down deep.

Harold over at Sportmen's Hide-A-Way told me the old Curado has been
discontinued and newer model has been introduced.

Looks like the new model is followed by a "D"

How so Steve? Seems like it would be alot of work with a slow-retrieve
reel...

Lower gear ratio equals more cranking power. It requires more effort using
a high speed reel to retrieve big lipped crankbaits.

Steve is right... think of the ratio as the gears on a bicycle. Low gears
make easy work of slopes, but they'll wear you out on level ground or going
down hills.

Now consider your baits... some slip through the water with little
resistance, while others burrow along, creating a lot of resistance.

A low-gear ratio reel keeps you fresh after a hundred or so retrieves of a
deep-diving crankbait, but if you're using a bait intended to be retrieved
quickly, like a lipless crankbait, you'll wear yourself out winding it. Sort
of like peddling in low gear on level ground or a downward slope.

A high-speed reel makes shorter work of taking up slack, or retrieving line
when extracting a bass quickly from the weeds, but once it's down in the
salad, a low-speed reel helps you winch the bass with it's burden back up.

Most anglers know this, of course.... but what is news to some is the effect
of retrieve speed on the performance of baits.

I'm willing to be disproved on this point, but my observation is that
lipped, diving crankbaits usually perform better at slow speeds... They dive
at a steeper angle, achieving maximum depth more quickly. We've heard advice
to reel quickly at first to "git 'er down there," but when I reel slowly at
first, the bait's angle makes it dig downward rather than back toward me at
a flatter angle. If I'm fishing 12-foot depths, the lure strikes the bottom
in just a few cranks, but when I reel quickly, the lure takes a little
longer to achieve that depth. It does take longer to get the lure back to
the boat, but that's sort of the point, isn't it? To keep the bait in the
strike zone longer?

Therefore, for deep-divers, a slow-speed retrieve reel improves the bait's
performance as well as reducing angler fatigue.

Angle of incidence, and angle of attack....stall the bait out, and you
will get a deeper retrieve with a slower, or moderate retrieve than a
faster retrieve......at least that's how it works in aviation. But then
what do I know, I don't use many crank baits.
