Well i finally have decided to go with the shimano curado reel. I have never fished with one of these but basd on recomendations im buying one tom. Im mainly going to be throwing spinnerbaits, buzzbaits,frogs,etc. So i think i should go with the 7;1 instead of 5;1 unless anyone of you thinks i shoudnt? Also im buying a shimano rod too. Not a rod to go with this reel, but for working/jiging. It's my understanding it has a lifetime warrnaty, so anytime it breaks it gets replaced no questions ask? I have never had a shimano rod either, but figured I should now so for the rest of my fishing days im covered. If any of thses asumptions is no where close to being accurate, please steer me in the right direction, thnx!
