I use a curado 5.0:1 for lipped crankbaits , hard jerkbaits , and spinner baits.

For everything else its a curado 7.0:1

If you want to compromise the citica comes in a 6.3:1 ratio.

I use the CBR843 wouldn't have it any other way.I throw med , small ,and lipless crankbaits.

All depends on what you call inexpensive.
You can pick up a curado 200E5 on flebay for $145 tyd..American bass outlet has them for that price also.
