Campobassmaster Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Getting a more dedicated RM negotiator sized bait setup, what do you guys use? Looking for a low profile preferably, I know cardiff is popular but I've got the round reels I need right now. This is going to be a glide and trick bait rod, maybe topwater. Lexa 300? (I heard they aren't that great stock though, need to be smart about tuning and upgrading?) Curado 200? Trying to keep it cheaper, nothing like a toro beast 51. Keep in mind I'm a lefty. The baits I'll be throwing: Clayton (deltaman) Sly Bluegill glide and 4pc Roman Made Neg Deps 175 Swaver 200 Swaver 168 Savage Glides (both styles and sizes) Gantarel/Gantarel Jr 6" hudds Mattlures soft gill Savage Gill g2 Cracker Tiny Klash (maybe) Hudd 68 (maybe) WRS (maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealandhunter Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I throw all that on my green curado 200 (e7 I believe correct me if I'm wrong) I use 17lb flouro but could easily use 20 if needed, I feel that the tranx 300 would be good for what's listed as well. Btw I have the jr swim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 A regular Tatula would work fine with those baits and a Tatula HD would handle them easily. They are great reels -- cast a mile and have very smooth drag. basskickinrednick, thastickybandit, gcopple and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxDistance Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Me being the cheap person that i am, i have 2 irod jrs, that i have put Lew LFS on. For 100 bucks they work great, usually get 2 years out of them before they start making funny noises. then just clean it or buy a new one.

nwkurt Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have a fury with a tatula on it and an irod with a lexa on it. the fury with the tatula is the rod I grab when first , feels great in had and is semi light. ive been throwing, triple trouts, 6 inch hudds, bull shooter, negotitator and wrs on it. I am sure the tatula will get chewed up one day but its been going strong for a couple months now. I enjoy it a lot.

rogers954 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 If you looking at the lexa 300 why not just take advatrage of the deal in this post for a curado 300? killer price if I was in the market I would scoop one http://swimbaitunderground.com/forums/index.php?/topic/40492-300e-cabelas-for-150/ kayl and MaxDistance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCMD Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Daiwa Tatula HD or the Daiwa Tactical (TW only reel) are great choices for that rod and those baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink whisperer Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I switch between a Tatula HD and a concept A³ on my Irod depending on what I'm throwing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
