Re: Chronarch D and Curado 100D difference
It's pretty easy to swap out the driveshaft bushing on the CU200D for a bearing. I've done it to mine but it's been awhile and I forget the part numbers.

Re: Curado Ds or...
I use a CU200DHSV to throw frogs all day. It's big but rock solid.

Re: Drop shot rod for general purpose?
I also have the 6'6" casting model and consider it an excellent rod for weightless 5" Senkos.

Re: Anyone own Shimano Crucial crcx70m ?
I'll take the other position. I had one and tried to use it for Senkos - no good, way too stiff. Switched to the CRC-D66M & CRC-D70M for Senkos and love them. Tried spinnerbaits on it - didn't like it. And mind you, I love the Crucial line of rods. Ended up trading it in.

Re: Worm Rod GLX, IMX, or dropshot crucial for chronarch 50m
I use the Shimano Crucial 6 1/2 foot drop shot rod (CRC-D66M) for weightless Senkos and it's a beautiful thing!!! Light as a feather with the 50 Mg.

Re: Any results with freshwater Gulp Alive yet?
My other issue with the Gulp product, particularly the Minnow Grubs, is that the tail tends to fold over and crease in the old packaging which totally kills the action of the lure in the water. I've had packs where as many as half the lures were unusable right out of the package. Hopefully storing t...

Re: What color Senko should I use?
913 which is 301 Green pumpkin w/green & purple and a chartruese tail, but it has to be the old core shot style where the chartruese runs all the way through the body, not the new two-tone.
Short of that, plain 301 ain't bad, or 330 with copper flecks instead of purple.

Re: Your favorite soft bait design
I've been having great luck this year swimming the Yamamoto Kreature rigged Tex-skinned with a 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook and a 3/16 oz. tungsten bullet sinker. I think the advantage of the Kreature over the DT hula grub is that is action of the curly tails is closer to the hooks and bass tend to engulf...
Re: Tube Rod
I have the Shimano Crucial CRS-X63M and do use it for small tubes, however I only like to use extra-fast action rods on texas-rigged baits. For my exposed hook tube setups I use just a fast action rod like the Shimano Crucial CRS-70M.
