Re: Baitcaster recommendations
I have been using the Okuma Citrix 364 size for this season, I think it’s very good and looks great too. I actually ordered the 273 size first but it was really small and returned it for the 364 size and that’s perfect for general lure castings, I have been using lures in the size you are using. I can’t really see why you would spend the extra and get the Komodo when they have produced such a good real like the Citrix, the model I mentioned was a bit hard to get hold of, GAC will order one for you though.

Hi mate, I've recently bought the daiwa prorex hla 200, only used it fora couple of month but can't fault it, I'm chucking lures from 60g right upto 150g, easy adjustment, smooth drag and so far seems hard wearing, I only pai£120 for angling direct, worth a look
