For Low Profile Baitcasting, Nothing Works Quite Like a Shimano Low Profile Baitcasting Reel
You won't believe the sleek design and elegant performance of Shimano's line of Low Profile Baitcasters - these babies are awesome!
Today, we're going to have an educational post about Baitcasting reels. Of course, for baitcasting, Shimano Reels are the best, but we'll let you form your own opinion.
First, if you're a bass fisherman, you'll definitely want to invest in a baitcasting reel. Bait casting reels were designed specifically for bass fishing. Although learning to use a baitcasting reel can be tough, they are well worth the time and patience.
Of course, your experience with a baitcasting reel will largely depend on the brand you select. It will be important to pick a great brand in fishing reels, like a Shimano Reel. Not only are these reels a leader in their industry, Shimano Reels take the effort out of fishing. With baitcasting being a more tricky type of sport fishing to learn, having a Shimano baitcasting reel will put you ahead of the curve.
You'll want to spool your baitcasting reel with a moderately heavy test line, anywhere between 14 and 20, and be sure to use a monofilament line. By spooling with a heavier line, you'll have a much easier time learning to cast.
Next, only spool about half of the reel. Spooling the entire reel causes two problems:
1. A heavier reel
2. Potential backlashes
Save yourself a little frustration and just start with a half spool. If you decide you need more line, you can always add more later.
Casting a baitcaster is all about your thumb. This is going to take practice, so both practice and patience will be key here. Your thumb will be controlling the spool of line and will need to engrain a few new habits. A bit of good news is that the thumb can easily be trained without being on the boat, so don't worry - you won't be wasting precious fishing time. Practice loosening the spool control on your baitcasting reel, letting the weight drop, and using your thumb to catch the line right before the weight hits the floor.
Here's the best part - this can be practiced at home in front of the TV, on your back porch, or practically anywhere.
Picking the right low profile baitcaster is as important as learning how to cast one correctly. In my experience, Shimano's low profile baitcating reels are the best on the market. I'll tell you a little about my favorite Shimano Reel and why I like it best.
The Shimano Curado is very light reel and is extremely easy to learn to cast. As discussed above, casting a low profile baitcaster is no piece of cake! However, the Shimano Curado sure makes life much easier. Let's face it, who wants to spend valuable fishing hours practicing?
The low profile baitcasting line of Shimano Reels is of the most compact and light weight lines of fishing reels available. If these are your criteria then the low profile baitcasting Shimano Reels are for you.
With Shimano Reels like the Curado, you'll be out on the water and fillin' up the boat in no time!

What's your favorite baitcasting reel and rod? Also include for what fishing applications.?
Rod =Powell 703 CEF 7' 0", 10 - 17 ,1/4 oz - 3/4 oz Ex-Fast, Med-Heavy, Casting.
This is how Powell rates this rod -Spinnerbaits, Topwater, Carolina Rigs & Senkos: Pitching and chucking blades and senkos into small pockets. Running buzzbaits and walking spooks over grass beds and fishing long-leader Carolina rigs in deep water. With these types of presentations you need a rod with the right amount of forgiveness, allowing the fish to inhale the bait with less resistance. Not only does this series deliver that, but they also provide the hook setting power necessary when and where you need it most.
Reel = Abu Garcia - REVO - SX
Use this combo ( I have two just alike ) for Spinner baits, Jigs, Buzzbaits, C Rig., Texas Rig.
Most of the time the reels have 14# Vicious, or Sufix line spooled on them. Got some P-line Halo I am going to try.
Would not be afraid to use this rig on any fresh water fish, but is mainly used for Black Bass.
