Yeah, that's what I intended. Guess I should have said bait cast... Thanks for the replies so far!

Curado. Guided for years on Calcasieu, fishing 100 days a year and still have them. They have changed the reel, but still think it is the best bang. NOTE: annual maintenance on any reel will help tremendously.

Annual maint. on a Curado is $20 at Reelman's place.
Not a bad price.
Just keep them wiped down with some Simple Green and water and let him do the
reel work during the winter.
I thought the price of a Curado was a little high, but they outlast a lot of other
reels I have used. Tough little reels, last a long time.

Good job, BP advisory patrol
'spinning' and 'spincast' are two totally different animals.

spinning = Sahara, Symetre. In other words...haybalers.
spincast = Zebco 808, 404, 202. In other words...piece o' crap.

You need anything else, lil buddy....just let me know.

Baitcast = levelwind
openface = spinning
spincast = combination of the above
