[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2975842, member: 15054"] I started with a #9 Penn on a solid fiberglass rod that was very stiff. Catfish. I could cast with the best of the guys that had 7000 and 7500 abu reels. Pin point accuracy.. that comes with learning your rig. Kind of like drifting your car around corners ..you just need practice. For reliability i go with spinning reel. I use this line in all my stuff now. No memory.

When I do the "old" zebco 33 or smaller spinning reels get used. I do have a 6500C3 I took both of the brakes out .. It slowed the cast down way too much for my liking in stock form.. and even leaving 1 puck it was still not as good as my #9 Penn. I almost purchased an expensive bait caster.. buddy has one that was nearly 300 bucks.. He tournament fishes for bass. That reel would toss the lightest jig like a pro...Then i got to thinking.. Do I need to spend that kind of money to catch a stupid fish. NO. So back to my cheap stuff. I gave $20 for my 6500C3.. Or I would not own it. [/QUOTE]
