For the record (pun intended), I have owned the cardiff and still pick the Record.

Re: I need a reel to use with alabama rigs

Been wrestling with this question also. I was looking at the Revo Toro, but the A-rig isn't super heavy, do I really need to go that big? Can I get away with the Revo Inshore? Anyone make the same comparison? I do not think I really need the extra line capacity just for A-rig fishing. Any thoughts?

Re: Baitcast Steez 103 or Shimano Core 50

But I've never really regarded the Core 50 as anything special beyond it's small size and weight.
I have to agree with Jeb. I've had both and sold the Core 50s, and kept the Steezes. I would suggest the new Pixy for your application. I have not tried the new alphas yet.

What he (USA-RET) said. Go to American Legacy and sign up for the newsletter. Order the Curado 50 and you'll be out of there for less than a C note.

Re: revo s or cayenne

The Cayenne is not a graphite reel. It has "machine cut brass main and pinion gears held in perfect alignment by the aluminum sideplate and rigid diecast aluminum frame."

I had both--like theCayenne much better than the Revo S.

Re: Okuma Serrano

...have you tried setting the breaks lower then 6? it sounds backwards but maybe thats the ticket? Yes, I tried all settings. I had a few other people try it also. Don't get me wrong, not complaining about how the reel performed, just wasn't great on the lighter baits. I even cleaned the little brak...
