If youre bait fishing then yeah ok- just go for the smaller sizes- 100m of 6lb line is heaps.
If your lure casting, you wont get much use of a baitcaster as they just cant throw the light lures you use for bream. Better off with a 1000, 1500, 2000 or even 2500 size spinning reel.
Compared to a small threadline a baitcaster suxs trying to throw small or light lures. Once the lure weight picks up, they are more difficult, but more accurate to cast with, ie for barra etc.
I would say the advantage of a baitcast is purely for using decent sized durable dead baits. Leave it in free spool for the bream to have a couple runs before locking up and striking. I gues for some people its a smoother quicker action. All personal choice i guess.
thanks guys I wanted to try a baitcast for bait fishing (mussels) for bream to see the difference between them and the spinning reels, bought a stradic ci4 2500, was looking at the curado for the baitcast? Good idea or not worth it ? Cheers
