Cranking Reel Suggestions

[Jacobguy]

Have you been able to fish this setup much yet? If so, what are your thoughts? Just curious as I'm beginning research on a mid-priced cranking/jerkbait set up. It'll be a while before I get it, but so far the Fury 705cb and a Tatula reel seems like a good setup to me.

Just adding be cause I have a very similar setup, FR705CB and Tat CT. I love the setup personally, like apiazza I havent caught any fish on it yet since I've only taken it out once because pre-spawns just hitting. Really cant go wring with it.

As a combination I'm pretty impressed. The tat 100 might have been a good option being I dont really bomb casts with a crank. I'm not used to having such a light rod that I can actually load up with such a little bait so I still find myself casting very delicate. The reel is super smooth on the cast. I can hardly tell the spool is spinning. Same on the retrieve. I tend to like centrifugal brakes like on my shimanos more than mag I have used on lews and abu reels, but this one might have changed my mind on that generalization. I havent thrown it a ton nor have I caught any fish on it yet so I'll have to post back when I do but so far very happy.

That has the T-wing correct? How is that? Do you notice much difference? Daiwa pushes distance on the t-wing, just curious if it's gimmick/marketing or effective.

Hard to say. Would need to use the exact reel without it. I will say, given how good modern reels are especially when paired with the right rod, it doesnt seem needed. Kinda seems like just one more thing to fail. But they certainly believe in it because it's on nearly every reel over $100.

dont discount the power of the original Curado 200B. 

I personally picked up a zillion crazy cranker and just picked up a modded SS SV 103 at 5.3
