I have a 782C Conquest and it is my favorite rod by far, even better than my NRX and GLX sticks. I toss weightless Senko/Dinger types with it and the sensitivity is amazing. But they retail for over 6 bills. Not the rod for Everyman.

I had two in the 6-1 gear ratio that I had issues with. The 7-1 gear ratio Curado K's were fine. I have no idea why they were different but they were. I really like the 2020 Tatula Elites so I sold the K's and got the Tatulas. Last edited by ezbassin; 09/09/20 08:05 PM.

I have a couple of Curado DC reels and I use them for long distance casting and I really like them for that. I use them for 3/4oz jigs, and swing heads in the same weight and have them on identical Power Tackle rods. I really like them for that. I use other reels for pitching.
