bassbass Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Need some help finding some new reels. I have a bunch of curado 301 and love these reels. I have the raygo and the Toro 61 beast, along with some others. The raygo is a nice size for the round reel, as my 401TE is a little big. The Toro beast is a little big but the beast is way to small. What are some ideas that you guys use that is the same size as the curado 301. Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2 fish Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have you looked at the Lews super duty wide spool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipleadthefish2 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I just picked up the new Lexa WN 301. I love it! Real smooth. Big fan of the WN grips and longer handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llPa1nll Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Tranx 301 is a little smaller and then the 401. The Calcutta 401D or 301d are great too. Good luck with your search. bigpoppabass and bassbass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

253caster Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 The Okuma Citrix in the 300 size is a solid reel for the 150$ price range. A bit noisy, but performs great. I havent used it for anything over 6 oz, but it seems like it could handle heavier baits easily. I hear the Komodo is basically the improved version so I assume it lives to the hype. bassbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfan Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have you considered hoarding every 301D and E you can find? Nick S., basskickinrednick and FishDr 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick S. Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I’ve been very happy with the 13 Fishing A3’s so far. I’ve been fishing them since they came out with no issues. I can’t say that I am a huge fan of the new CZB bearings in the Z3 but that might just be me. The A3’s come standard with 100mm handles I believe, and the big cork paddles are very comfortable for me. bassbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 As Eric mentioned Calcutta Ds are good, I think much better than the curado 301s. My only gripe with the Calcutta is they get cold in cold weather makes me want to pee. bassbass and Nick S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
