Shimano Metanium MG DC Reel...

Paichen bro,

stella and DC = same price… go for dc only lahh hahhaha if u r looking for bc la… stella is spinning, when i see the price i almost faint

and btw wusharox bro, is ceramic bearing upgrades really can let u cast further? seems like they cast bout the same with abec or any high quality bearing out there… just with lesser tolerance to salt and ceramic could like outlive even us in shelflife hehehhe

and also, the cq i have is 51 size, perhaps the spool is not large enough in diameter for long cast… i’ve seen cq200 in action too, bout the same distance maybe a little further… but spinning definitely outcast all of them(well maybe the larger lures bc cast further i have no idea), if not for bc comfort, easiness and accuracy i will never use a BC for a million bucks

Novice angler here, any constructive advices greatly appreciated. Thank you

Higher ABEC rating does increase casting distance , Hybrid Ceramic bearing is just an option over ARB/CCRB but most of all , the length of the rod itself will give you a longer cast albeit in actual fishing condition , a longer rod may not be the answer , for example if one were to fish sitting down in a canoe drifting in the middle of a river casting to the banks , a shorter rod may be more manageable than a long rod , on the other hand if one were to fish from the bank of the river casting to to the opposite bank then a longer rod may be desirable . By the way CQ51 is a gem for it’s palming size and castability , it does have it’s limitation in line capacity though .

Spinning reel is OK for casting in open areas but when there are overhanging trees above the spot , spinning outfit will have difficulties in reaching the said spot and one needs 2 free hand to open the bailarm and cast , in drifting situation one might just miss the potential spot due to slower " reloading " to cast than when using baitcasting outfit .

For distance casting competition , a properly tuned baitcasting outfit will beat spinning outfit anyday , check this for records casting distance by both types of reel : http://sportcastusa.blogspot.com/2005/03/distance-records-and-achievements.html

However it is true that any spinning reel can cast lighter lure more consistently than baitcaster but that CQ51 of yours paired with a good finesse rod can do the same task and still " reload " faster for each cast than a spinning outfit .

wow thanks for the info mate…

cq51 is great i know… been using it for lures down to 2-3 grams provided the profile is right… but well, not advisable(i was in dire straits before i will pull out such stunt)

me too think tat bc is faster especially when using lures, every seconds count before the fish vanishes somewhere else…

i still have problem tuning bc, mainly because i wonder how hahaha… well all i know is to wash & clean the bearings and tat’s about it… it can cast real great but only for a limited time only before similar steps have to be taken again to ensure such long distance

anyway thanks again

yo mate, long time no see

centri pins? where are those located ah???

maybe la, i could cast quite far with it already actually but i just dun think it’s close to the furthest it could go… since it always lose to spinning in distance hehehe

Novice angler here, any constructive advices greatly appreciated. Thank you

well u have to accept the fact Baitcasters cannot cast very far with below 3-4g lures. Best for the job is trout spin rods. i suggest u get jackson trout tune lipless 6g if u looking for tiny sinking pencils. abit expensive but catches everything. Maria Bluecode is another alternative but i think i swept every pc off the shelve already. =P
next best choice is the yozuri aile lipless 3g. cheap n nice, just have to change bigger hooks to increase the sink rate.

otherwise theres alot more lures in the market like bassday, altima spoon, rapala countdown, fatrap, storm minnows and baby cima.

i have a 4-10lb custom made baitcaster for ultralight luring. seems nice for 3g above. maybe u can look at GLoomis / St Croix or Hastings blank 1-6lb to custom a really light rod to suit your need. do use below 8lbs braided line to achieve a better distance. maybe fireline 2lbs? =)

kill the friggin’ netters

Never put an oil (not even a finest syn oil) to centrifugal brake blocks. An oil will make those cetrifugal brake blocks sticky and goes erratic/unlinear. But buffing the brake ring/collar with polishing material will make a casting gain more distance especially on lighter lures
