Thanks for the input guys. I went with the 3C70MHM. Although I do like the idea of the 4C78MHM now. I assume it would handle the shallow stuff pretty well the same but do a better job as it got deeper?

What Sufix are you using? I've never used P-Line, is it pretty good? Which do you use?

I'm a big fan of the LC RC 1.5 as well. Sounds like I really need to try a few KVD 1.5's too from all the suggestions of it.

I had another topic concerning these 2 reels for a cranking stick but thought I'd start a new one for this specific question. Having never owned or used a winch, I didn't realize until recently that they had a different brake than my STX's. So how do the 2 brakes compare? Is either more effective or...

I knew you could still get it in Berkley and stren but wasn't sure of any other offerings

I completely forgot the Winch has a different brake than the STX. how is the brake on the winch compared to that of the STX? I have never owned or used a winch

I've been planning to get a few Rapala's, thanks for the suggestions. That bomber doesn't sound too bad, I may have to try that bomber out too. What colors are you running?

I have always used the blue. So you use clear? How easy is it to see in the blacklight??

I have all Gen. 2 STX's and would be looking at the Gen. 2 Winch's also. This will be on dedicated cranking sticks

Any other input?? Stick with the STX or Winch?

I've never done any kind of upgrades to reels, just used them as they come. But I was thinking of possibly upgrading 2 of my Revo STX's, OR getting 2 Winch's and upgrading them for cranking. I'm after as much casting distance as I can possibly get for these, so what upgrades would you guys suggest? ...

I'm currently using mainly Lucky Craft square bills. What is everybody else's favorite? Anything else I should be trying?

Hard to beat Lucky Crafts and Rapala

For all you night fishermen, what fluorescent line are you using? It seems as though there aren't many options. I was using Sufix Elite clear blue and they quit making the clear blue. I'm using Seaguar Senshi right now but just wondered what other options I have for use with backlights.

Is it quite a bit better than the elite?
