Help me decide for a finesse baitcaster

[-Boris-]

Good to see a German here! Wie gehts?

I live in San Francisco, maybe I can help you out getting stuff over there.

Thank you very much for your Offerte, but the problem is that we (in Germany) have to pay on each delivery round about 23% tax. The Tatula SV (that I have bought from Tacklewarehouse has cost me nearly 300$ ). But Shimano stuff is in Germany often a little bit cheaper as in the USA. Today I had the possibility to get a Aldebaran 51 for less than 300$.

And I have noticed that the spool capacity is fewer than the spool capacity of the Curado/Scorpion 71. On the homepage of Shimano Japan is writen, that the spool capacity is 100m/10lb (http://fishing.shimano.co.jp/product/reel/3825), but in the documents of the reel is writen 75m/10lb - and I have the impressionen that 75m/10lb is correctly.

Hi all,

I am looking for a finesse baitcaster, that I can also use in the salt every now and then.

Following options are on the table:

http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_SV ... -D5SV.html

https://japanlureshop.com/abu-revo-mgxt ... 14221.html

https://japanlureshop.com/shimano-15-al ... -9213.html

Use would be:

Weightless worms, Wacky rigs, Ned rigs, Small Jigs and Small jerkbaits

Thoughts are welcome!

Thanks!

Wacky plastics and Neds should to be skipped up under things when the opportunity arises. If you agree, cross the Shimanos off the list and look at Air Brake Daiwa reels. If not then a faster spool'd reel like an Alde or even a Pixy would be a good option.

A Daiwa 105Sv,ITs a lot lest finicky than most others I've used.

The only skipping mine will do is when I hurl them across the water in a fit of rage. I do not recommend trying to skip with a centrifugal braking reel. Been there and done that. They're not in the same ballpark in the same country in the same planet as an SV spool. As long as skipping is not a criteria the SVS reels I have cast very well.

As I've said before, skipping is mostly angler skill and technique
