curado 200DHSV 7.0.1 - what size rod + action would u use
Message:
My dad bought me a curado 200dhsv 7.0.1. I want to put it on a shimano crucial - what action should I get and what length? This was a surprise - I was leaning toward the 300 with 6.2.1 but my old man hooked me up with the 200. What rod would you guys recommend? Because of the reel speed o assume it will probably be more of a spinnerbait and buzzbait rod. Is the 7.0.1 speed good for other baits as well? I have always been a spinning reel guy that used the 6.2 ratio for everything.

It can be used for many techniques...I prefer the high speed reels for flipping/pitching, but you could use that one for any bait that you want to move fast...spinnerbait, chatterbait, etc. You are probably better off getting the 200 series as it is one of the better all-around reels and the 300's are pretty sizeable.
As for the rod, flipping would be the crucial 7'11" flipping stick (CRC-X711H), or for a general purpose rod you could go with the 6'10" or 7' medium heavy crucial casting rod (CRC-X610MH or CRC-70MH).
The only thing to watch for with the crucial rods is that the extra-fast tips are very soft, so you'll get a lot of bend out of it. Best thing is to always go and look at the rods in person so you can see how the action really is on it, but think about what you might want to do for a technique and it will help you rule out some rods.

i have 2 of them one i use for flipping and the other for topwater like frogs and buzz baits. the high speed helps get the fish out of weeds before the really get dug in deep. i agree with justing on rods if your going to fish alot of spinner baits you can also look at a 66 mh. the 300 is really big and too hard to palm. great reel best of luck with it.
