More like a decent reel. I would say it is comparable to the citica (I prefer the citica), but not in the same league as the Curado. I had one for a few months and I dumped it for a citica.

Power Pro works great with Bombers once you get used to the difference in using braid vs mono. Took me a while. Hooks don't catch the line, tho, and I tie straight to the nose....no leader. A Spook is a nightmare, tho.

Curado is not in the same league as a Chronarch, either.

My only experience with the chronarch involves me drooling over display models at superior. I have a citica I would swap for a chronarch and then I could give you a first hand review

I use 12 lb. Trilene with a short 20 lb. leader and a swivel.
I tried Suffix cause I thought it looked cool, but I broke off at least once a trip.
I remove a few yards before each trip, but never change out unless the reel gets
around 3/4 full.

I grew up using Stren.....it was the only good mono made back in the early 60's. I used Stren up until I started fishing saltwater a lot about 12 years ago. Started having problems.....line breaking, I think was the problem.

I use Big Game line now and usually fish 4 to 7 trips before changing the line.

[speckdaddy]

stren 10 lb test on my jighead setup with a 17 lb florocarbon leader tied to a spro swivel. i even switch to 8 lb test with the same 17 lb leader when i fish them hawg trout. that light line will let ya cast at least another 10 yards. thats where them big gals will be...at the end of ya cast

Use Big Game 10 or 15 mono.

Reading through this thread brought some questions to mind

1. Saw some people did not use braided except on a spinning reel. What is the reasoning
2. I tried the leaders and barrell swivels before and had an issue when trying to slow walk a top water with the swivel sinking and messing up the rhythm. Anyone else have this problem.
3. Lastly, where did you find the speed clips with the swivel on them?

Not trying to hijack the thread, just curious.

thanks,

i know LCT has the speed clips with swivels.

The main reason I use braid on a spinning reel is because you don't get line twist like you do with mono. Now when it comes to a baitcaster I much rather mono,i've tryed using it but always go back to mono.

A lot of folks have problems running braid in the baitcasters because of the nasty backlashes that can occur. As I stated earlier, this happened to me a few times, but has not been an issue in a while. Braided line does not twist as much as mono or flouro so it is perfect for spinning gear. I have some braid on a spinning rod that is over a year and a half old and is still great.

[bay_slayer]

you can get em at most tackle stores...........I get mine a bass pro or cabela's

[SULPHITE]

been through
p line
cajun cast
power pro braid
yozuri hybrid (would break off just casting)
suffix blue box if I can remember correctly
....

Actually still using the cajun cast...used the pline hybrid and really like it its on my reels right now too...
