Design your perfect baitcasting reel in the $250.00 or less

[mark poulson]

I want light, with both internal centrifugal and externally adjusted magnetic brakes, palmable, smooth, usable for lighter weights (1/4 oz and up). For me it's the Lew's Tournament Pro with the replacement 85mm handle. I can fish that reel all day.

Curado I with smaller line capacity, more distance between spool and line guide, a cone line guide, and lighter spool..

X2 That would be perfect.

bingo…oh, a carbon handle too…with bearings.

Thought about this for a while...
A tight, connected T3 would be perfect.
Wait,the FX63 fits the bill(add a 90mm handle/SV spool if you fancy )
PS: The MX is as good and will fit the $250 budget.
The MX makes the 1016 feel cheap

I would love to see a aluminum framed tdz 103ml with zaion sideplates and a swept handle. Stoopid salt water......

Curado I with a shallower heavy duty spool and a thumb bar like the core 100mgfv had for pitching would be pretty sweet to.

New curado with carbon fiber handle and shallower spool.
