Location: Palatine, IL | I'm asking if you would use this for small musky baits i.e. small blades or wtds. |

| If you already have one I would use it. It would work for small jerkbaits, rattle baits, and small bucktails. If you're planning on buying one of the newer ones I would put your money into a better reel. I like a Revo S for the same lure types just mentioned. I don't know if it's necessarily much better, but it has a much better higher-rated drag (24lbs vs. 11lbs). The largest blades I have thrown were Musky Mayhem Baby Girls with double 5s. It works, but it makes you work hard and I don't know how long the reel with take the abuse. 700 Buchertails and small Mepp's work great though. |
