kt Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just got a 50e as a birthday present and was wondering if anyone else has one and what techniques they think it really excels at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have two of them, I'll say ice fishing is where they excel at. After a little bearing flush and removel of unwanted parts, I use them for some finesse shallow cranking and occasionally pitch some 1/4 oz. jigs for walleye and crappie fishing.

Larson15 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have been using a few of them this season and am really impressed. I would say that you could probably use this reel for just about anything. I am using one for throwing light swim jigs and the other is throwing weightless plastics. They seem to really excel at throwing the light stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecil Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have a couple and they are on a jerkbait and a topwater rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks for the responses fellas. I was planning on using it on a topwater/jerkbait rod, but I'm also thinking hard about using it on my senko rod instead. One other question, what is the heaviest line you have or would put on it? I like to use 15 lb flouro for my senko rod, do you think the reel can handle line that heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, it could. I run 12# on mine and Im sure it would have no issues with 15# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakjack23 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 And for everyone who has been wanting to try one of these...now is the time. They are being clearanced at many online retailers for around $135 TYD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
