Curado - casting?

bargeass · #1 06-09-2011, 12:00 AM

Gday all,

Just been having a think, my curado50 is a great little reel but just doesnt cast lighter stuff (im talking 1/8 spinnerbaits) as far as I would like.

Just wondering if there is anything I can do or upgrades that can be made to help increase its casting capabilities??

Cheers in advance guys!

Lube the spool bearings with hot sauce. I did it to all my BCs and it made a fair bit of difference

Hot sauce grease or oil?

Oil only for bearings.

Awesome mate cheers. If I can pluck up the balls to pull it apart I'll do that haha

You'll be surprised how easy it is.

Fit a set of ceramic spool bearings abec 7 or 9 to it and you will see a huge improvement in casting performance, especially with the lighter stuff.
