Fathers day booty!

[breachless]

My little 1 year old, thanks to my wife, got me a sweet new Shimano Curado reel on a 7'6" St Croix Mojo Bass rod as well as a nice Quantum Accurist spinning rod and reel for fathers day. Tried it out yesterday and I love it! Those mojo rods are kind of heavy though... Pretty surprised after using the Abu Garcia Veritas and Vendetta rods, this thing feels like it's made out of lead! I am guessing this rod built it's reputation for something OTHER than weight... I will find out if I finally put a fish on the end of it.

Sweet set ups my friend, your 1 year old and wifey have good taste. Your Mojo is Med Heavy or Heavy?

It's Med/Heavy. Seriously, it feels more like a muskie/catfish rod than one for bass fishing... Still seems really sensitive though. Again, I am excited to see how it does.

Mojo's aren't the lightest rods around for sure, but they are pretty sensitive rods. Bought mine a couple years ago when they first came out and still use it occasionally.

What do you think about the Curado? Most people either love or hate them.

I am not sure how I feel about it yet. I love the way it feels in my hand: really nice and low profile. Seems super smooth too. It seems to cast a mile without a problem... if you manage to avoid building a birds nest instead. I am sure it's just a matter of getting used to it.

I started throwing a Curado a few months ago and have three now. Great reels. Just wish they had more left hand options.
