I just was wondering what reel/reels everyone uses for jerkbaits. I tend to throw a lot of glider type baits eg. Hughes River, Amma Bama, Cobbs, etc. Two years ago I used the Calcutta TE 400 and that was just not fast enough to pick up the slack line. This last year I used the 6500 C4 and the reel just did not hold up to throwing the big baits. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

I've been using the same 6500C3 for alomost ten years. I tried my Calcutta 400 and my Corsair 400 for jerkbaits but the 6500 feels better for jerk baits.

I use the Garcia 7000C3. Chunks big baits with ease and the large spool allows for plenty quick line pick up.

I use a 6600 garcia tournament and a 5600 ultracast. My dad uses a 6600 morrum.

Love the 6500C4 for the speed, also keep a bunch of spare parts in the boat for on the water rebuilds.
