Location: Kronenwetter, WI | Finally got my 500hg...pretty pumped to put it into service for t for big rubber and big blades and big Jakes.....I'm using a 300e Curado for glides and smaller jerks.
What other applications for the hg?

| Large jerkbaits, e.g. 10" phantom.
Truly burning small bucktails dc7's and 8's and spinnerbaits trough weeds
8-10" weagles top waters.
10-12 inch suicks
8-10" Raptors
Ripping smaller cranks trough weeds
You can use it for tons of baits, it's an awesome reel i have 2 both with power handle, takes a bit of getting used to jerking with the high IPT.
In the winter time i generally fish a lot slower and use my slower reels, but the rest of the year, they are my go to reels. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | 8's and 9's, rubber from mini medusas to pounder size baits, and small to medium cranks. I do not like using it for jerkbaits or wtd topwater baits because it is too fast IMO. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | These guys nailed it. I use it for everything but topwater typically. Not that you can't use it but I have 100lb brain on it so I like another reel with lighter line for that situation. |
