I bought a new Shimano Curado from Capra's at the Sportshow. I had it out for the first time this weekend and the drag doesn't work. I tightened the drag down as hard as I could and it's still very easy to pull line out. As a matter of fact I couldn't even set the hook correctly on a 17" largemouth.
The reels only have two adjustment knobs. One for the drag and one for the brake. What gives?
If I return it are they going to give me a new spool of Power Pro or transfer my line to a new reel?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
