I’m in the process of putting together a rod/reel combo to be used with 9″ suicks and regular, 9″, bull dawgs for some shield pike. I was thinking of going with a St. Croix Premeir Musky 7′ MH 2 piece rod and teaming it up with a Calcutta 300TE or a Curado 300E.
I have a Curado 300D teamed up with a 7’3 St. Croix MH Avid rod for spoons, bucktails, and spinners. Do you think the Curado will hold up with the suicks and bull dawgs?
Also, would a 300TE be up for retrieving double cowgirls?
