Luke V. Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have used 17 lb pline flouro, 20 lb big game, or 25 lb big game. I think overall the 17 and 20 are tied. I only use 25 if I only have that rod with me. I have the 17 on a citica 200d which I love for small swimbaits, I also throw baby wakes and anything else around that size, mainly for rising sons though. The 20 is on a cardiff 300 which is a great reel all around. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Baiter Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Find a Curado 300 ,Calcutta 300, or Cardiff 300 and load it up with 20 pound if you are sticking with the smaller baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, get a 301. All the cool kids reel left-handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttaluns Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I use a curado cu200 with 20lb big game for my 6 and 68s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Find a Curado 300 ,Calcutta 300, or Cardiff 300 and load it up with 20 pound if you are sticking with the smaller baits. One of those. Or a Revo Toro 51. Plenty of reels to choose from, but a 300 size works better than a standard lo-pro 200 reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke V. Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 what is a good rod for the smaller 6" hudds I throw mine on the older Shimano crucial H swimbait rod. Great rod. Good price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
