Sweeet. What Cara rod are you throwing your lighter stuff with? I've only got 4 Caras now, and they're all The Amistad. I won't buy anything else but Cara from here on out.


Glad you convinced me on getting a Cara. I absolutely love it. Will be buying more in the future.

How light? I went Finesse Jig for weightless senkos and light shaky heads. You can go head turner or the 7’2 MF MH if you want a bit heavier. Possibly the trap caster for treble hooks.

As you can see in the back. I’m all Cara’s across the board. My DC for wackys is actually on a new 7’ MH fast Lowrider. Trying that rod out this year. I put my wife’s DC on my old wacky rod which is a 7’2” MH Swim Jig rod.

As far as light.... I’m talking the small round Gamakatsu hook with the weed guard. Zoom Trick worm and half a nail.

Used the DC. Liked it, but just could not get over the casting sound.

Just got the Curado DC. I haven't had it on the lake yet, but testing it in the swimming pool. I wanted to try it on one of my skipping outfits. It is definitely a smooth reel. Set the DC brake to 4 and played around with the cast control knob. I still ended up with some backlashes, but they didn't seem as severe. I think with more time and experimenting, I'll hopefully lower the number of occurrences.
