Seb2fn Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I own a lexA, a curado, a luna, and the new Komodo and personally the curado wins. The lexa is nice for the price and the fact it has different ratio options but it needs upgrading.. The new komodos are butter smooth and I'm very impressed with it so far, would say it's almost a tie w my curado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Addict Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I bought a 200z over the winter when they were blowing them out at tw, it is definitely my new favorite. If I would have known I was going to like 200Z so much, I would have bought 2 more. I feel like I could snag a hippo and reel it in with the 200Z. I prefer the low pro reels, my wrist are all kinds of f%#@ed up and the low pros don't irritate them as fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ong Jim Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I like my Pluton, I have 2 in both gear ratios and haven't failed me yet. The one small downside is the line cap, but than again, I never had a bass spool me. Maybe if I fished the bay for the 40lb stripers might I have to worry. My opinion is bias because those are the only big or swimbait reels I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Addict Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 ^^^Did either of your Pluton's have the issue where the spool doesn't reengage after you cast unless you manually lift the cast button back up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnicko Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Under 6 oz - Pluton Over 6 oz - 401 TE If they made a bigger Pluton it would be straight money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aesoprocks247 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's a sweet reel^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassindon69 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Started with nothing but Cardiff 400s at first. Then added a curado 300 then a Calcutta B and another B( one B was bad) it also got stolen lol. Anyway then came DSV and then up to the TEs. I liked them all. Caught with them all. It's not easy to replace 3 to 4 hundred dollar reels all the time. Rebuilding reels can be done to them all. I'm going over to lexa 300s now. Still using a DSV also for now. It's just something I'm going to try. They are all reels that work well. So for now my vote goes to Titos! Titos! Titos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal101 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's a sweet reel^ It has a matching rod I built for it too, Lamiglas LGM96-1XH 1-8oz, 8', Xtra Heavy blank Finished off with Matagi Components, Fuji TiSIC Guides, and EVA handles.
