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?
I thought you bought the reel to skip docks with?

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.

Wait.....what? :shocking:
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.
