  1. I’ve got 2 reels for sale 

    1) Curado K 200XG basically brand new - only used a few times but I don’t have much use for it

    2) Curado 300DSV 6.2:1 gear ratio - its in great shape with just some minor cosmetic wear but is very smooth - the only problem with it is that the drag doesn’t work. I got it like that from a buddy of mine and I believe it should be a cheap fix

    I’m asking 220 or best offer for the pair 

    You can text me at 832-25-5893

  2. There's a ton of videos on YouTube on removing grips and replacing grips. Not too hard to remove anything on a rod. Mostly ask just glued on. Just gotta watch the blank and your should be alright

     

     

    Thanks for the reply. Im starting to wonder if filling in the split grip somehow and covering the whole thing would be an easier alternative than just removing the handle. 

  3. Anybody have any advice to lend?

     

    I am currently fishing an Okuma guide Select XH, and I am not completely satisfied with the split grip on it. As it is getting into winter, I will be using it more and more for hudd fishing. How much of a hassle would it be to remove the grip and add a full length heat shrink tubing like x-flock?

     

    I am thinking about getting a new rod anyways, so I might as well try my hand at this to see if I could surprise myself and do it myself, as I don't have any previous rod building experience.

     

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  4. I've been struggling to figure this out and I thought I'd ask around and get some opinions.

     

    Currently I have a Calcutta 400b on an Okuma Guide Select "A" Series rod (XH 2-10 oz) and it seems a little too big for some of my smaller baits like the 6" magdraft, some of my smaller rats, hudd 68, etc. I just recently picked up a Calcutta 200gtb and was just hoping that some of the more experienced guys could give me some input. I don't have any good shops around me that have a good selection of swimbait rods available, so unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to handle different rods. I guess my question is which of the following rods would work best for smaller swimbaits?

     

    -Dobyns Fury 795 (1-5 oz)

    -Megabass Levante Leviathan (3/4-6 oz)

    -Lamiglass X-11 (1-6 oz)

    -Phenix M1 (1-6 oz)

    -Okuma Guide Select  (1-6 oz)

     

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Im fairly new to the swimbait game and after catching my 8 lb PB it has be hooked. 

     

     

  5. try slammer and TT for stained water! The deps are good baits too!

    Thanks for the input. It's a relatively high pressured lake, but not so much from swimbait era I would imagine. I don't know if I should try to match the hatch or throw some bright, abnormal colors.

  6. I'm relatively new to swimbaits. I have a Deps 175 SS in metalize bass that I have been using as of recently. Im in Texas (lake conroe to be exact) and am having some trouble deciding on whether or not I should stick with 175 or bump it up to the 250. Also have my eye on a 175 hot tiger silent killer and either 175 SS ghost ketabass or Wild carp. For those who don't know the water here is pretty stained down here. I guess my question is that am I on the right path with these bait choices? Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated.

     

    If it helps im throwing on a Okuma Guide Select rated 2-10 oz with a Curado 400b and am not planning on switching my setup anytime soon.

     

    And advice would be awesome!
