    Low profile reel for BIG crankbaits

    I need some ideas for LC SKT 120 Magnum lures. I can spool my Curado 200 series with 15 lb. I have the Curado 300 series but it is awful heavy and doesn't balance well with my rod.

    I looked at that reel but they don't have a lower gear ratio in left handed models.

    I asked this question a little while back. If money were no object, I probably wouldve gone with a TRanX 200 or a jdm bantam. But the price was right on the Tatula 150P, so went that route. I have it spooled up, but havent used it yet. Feels solid, and a nice long handle which I think helps almost as much as gear ratio.

    Unfortunately Jerry there isn’t much in left handed other then the revo winch and the bantam from Japan for left hand. If you can find a crazy cranker that would ideal. Daiwa still makes the steez A in 5:5.1 japan version also.

    Good choice, I'll think on that one The ratio of 6:3 might be ok with the 120 Mag

    Love the revo winch for this bait. I also have a diawa Catalina 4.9 That is perhaps my favorite cranking reel of all time. I will be trying it out for the BIG BAITS soon.
