Okay, I have a new Curado DC on the way. It's a 7.4:1 RH but I'm contemplating what I would like to do with it, should I use it as a reaction bait reel (i.e. topwater, lipless, chatterbait, jerkbait etc.) or should I use it to throw lighter stuff like plastics or should I use it for jigs and spinnerbaits? I was thinking of putting it on my Dobyn's Fury 734C (7'3" Heavy/Fast although I've heard some say Dobyn's are usually a little underpowered so maybe this rod is more of a Medium Heavy)...just not sure if I should spool with fluorocarbon or braid with a mono/fluoro leader? I guess the possibilities are almost endless as this reel should be capable of throwing just about anything...just wondered what some of you other guys/gals who have this reel have it set up for?
The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!

Well, yeah... He's going to be skipping Rattle traps and Vision 110's under docks.

I bought it to do a little bit of everything...skip docks and make bomb casts.

Just watching a YourLakeForkGuideyoutube video and they were sort of making fun of that reel sounding like it was sneezing when it was cast. lo It was the first I had heard of it making a annoying sound. Just wondering if you had heard anything about it making noise? I dislike ceramic bearing because of the noise so now I am losing interest if this reel makes any noise.

I have mine set up on my Sierra 734 for toads, I can send a toad a country mile with that thing!! To the point of noise, they do make kinda a slight whining noise, however I kinda like it..

The whining noise is the DC system charging. It's not that loud, and I wouldn't call in annoying, but it's there.. Personally, I kinda like it also.
