baitcaster reels shimano Curado DC Baitcast Reel Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble Shimano SLX DC Casting Reel

I often back off the drag after the initial hook-up and thumb the spool to add additional tension, or if I need to stop a fish that is running me into an area like a log pile or to the next riffle

uses them, Ive seen MLF Bass Pro Series champ, Jacob Wheeler, trying them out in some of his recent videos, plenty more top pros but for $100 bucks, its a great option

Yet to disappoint and will update after about a year of use should things change or if maintenance is somehow problematic not anticipating that

A bit of modern twist is the reel's swept handle design

KastKing Skeet Reese Icon $99.99 Lews Lews is a great place to start when you get into the baitcaster world, and their Speed Spool is one of the best budget casting reels on the planet
