I used to practice casting alot a few years ago in the back parking lot of the town houde complex I used to live in. I practiced getting the hang of baitcasters (1) without getting snarls and (2) for long distances. I also practiced accuracy in the house by casting to my cat with a cat toy at the en...

It is good for sensitivity, but it gets frayed and beat up quicker than most of my other lines.

Just my two cents.

I agree with frogpond, the Citica is a nice reel for $120. If your looking to spend a little more for a smoother, longer casting reel, then be sure to check out the Curado, this thing is sweet. The Curados come in the same sizes and gear ratio models as Citicas do.

Nice lookin' setup!

I would go with the Cadiff. It looks like a tough one with the aluminum sideplates and frame.

I like twitching and ripping jerkbaits, especially the X-Rap.

Thanks again guys for your help. Looks like I might get that Twinpower 2000 or the C3000 on eBay.

BTW, I'm in chat.

Thanks everyone for all your help! :) It is much appreciated since I don't know a whole lot about JDMs. Is the C model smaller than the regular version of the Twinpower? I'll be fishing for trout and bass from 3-5 pounds, mabye an ocasional 8-10 pounder, with small to medium sized jerkbaits, spoons,...

Hi everyone, I am considering between two reels now, the Biomaster 3000S or the TwinPower C3000. The TwinPower is a bit pricey I thought for the Biomaster S having one more bearing. But the TwinPower does have some more features a bit closer to the Stella. Considering prices, what one would you get?...

Looks nice ther Joe. Hope you catch some biggys on it.

What company is Shaw Grigsby Signature suff made by or is it his own company?

I personally like spinning rods best for jerkbaits. My 7'6" Med. Power Fast action rod is beautiful for X-Raps . I get a better feel with fast action rods with jerkbaits, especially for pumping and ripping.

Yes, I agree that the sticker is for corrosin resistance on the reel foot. The stickers come with all Mg version reels I believe. It came with my Stadic MgFA, but I took it off because the edges of the sticker became annoying. Since taking the sticker off, I have only noticed very small spots that w...

aside from the frame material.. there is little or no difference between bio and bio Mg. be aware there are many different model options you can choose such as shallow spool, power gear, high gear, double handle...etc all these will be designated by the size # then sufix i.e. S, PG, HG, DH or any c...
