52 hrs! Geez does that even qualify for being broke in! Nice purchase! Enjoy!

Nice purchase! Hope you enjoy your combo and you will have to let us know how you make out.

Congrats man, same deal, lived w/ her 6 yrs and been happily married for 6 yrs since. Best wishes and its good to see matrimony is not dead.

Quoting from another TT member "WOW", that is one sweet looking machine. Hard to tell the color match in the picture w/ your boat. a Triton I believe, but it looks like a great combo. Congrats on a very nice purchase.

Quote "I'm not a tournament fisher. It's me and my fishing buddy going out to lakes here in MO a couple of times a month. I don't want a rod that specializes in one type of fishing technique. I need something that can handle all-around casting stuff from 1/4 oz. to 3/4 oz. " to The Crucial CRCX610MH...

Well boys, we can't all live in the USA, but we can certainly spend our money there. I've bought 3 reels in the USA this year, with the dollar being what it is, I can buy a Curado 100/200 on line for $165 - $175. Same reel up here is $268 CDN + tax = $300. I'm certainly not complaining and I thank y...

I agree w/ none. With $300 I would order an Curado 100 or 200HSV from Delo's or Reel fishing deals for $165 (will be delivered in 2-3 days) and then buy my Crucial rod at either Cabelas or BPS for $129, preferably the CRCX610MH or CRCX66MH. This is just my opinion.

I use the revo-stx hs w/ a crucial mh 610 rod w/ xfast tip and really like it. This is a dedicated set up which Casts 1/2 oz spinnerbaits lures easilyand at great distances.

I did have a separate rod/reel combo for both both flippin and pitchi, but lately I go mostly to my Crucial CRCX72H and the Quantum Tour Edition PT burner.
A bit heavy, but I just enjoy using it for this vs the others.

Geez it must be my feminine side coming out. I like to use one when I'm taking hooks out of a northern pike or a muskie. I kinda get a little nervous when I'm looking up close at all them teeth!

Well thanks guys, just ordered & recieved my Curado 100D from Delo's while I was here in Cinnci. What a sweet looking reel! Well this gives me 3 reels to practice pitchin with. 100d vs TDZ vs Revo stx, Oh baby! This is going to be fun.

Got a Dicks Sporting Goods flyer here in Cinnci and noticed they had a Daiwa Capricorn 9 bearing Capricorn BC and a 8 bearing spinning reel.
Has anyone tried these, are they a good product?
They list them as normally being $140, and on sale for $80.

What do you guys recommend for a good" STOCK" pitchin reel. I have 1 of the TDZ's 105, Revo STX-HS or was looking at buying a Curado 100D. If I buy a new reel, it has to be in the $200 range.
Never pitched before, could use some help. What do you use.

Well I went and picked up another rod so I need another reel. Contemplating buying the Curado 100D but the Scorpion 1000 or the Scorpion 1000MG seem very good also. Probably use for throwing lures 1/4 oz and up. Would love to buy the Conquest 100,but I don't think there is anyway I can swing that.Ad...

1st and foremost, that is one sweet reel!! 2nd I voted gold, don't want to much colorful stuff, it takes away from its natural beauty. LOL
