Re: which baitcaster reel for weighless plastic?
Your best bet for throwing weightless plastics with a baitcaster in its stock configuration would be
1. (Toss up) TD Ito 103 or Daiwa PX Type R
2. Daiwa Liberto Pixy
3. Shimano Calcutta Conquest 50
4. Daiwa Steez
5. Abu Revo MGX
6. Shimano core 50
I do understand all of these are expensive for stock reels, but they are undeniably the best available right now for tossing lightweight rigs. Outside of that you would want something Supertuned. This is where the real fun begins if you are inclined to go down that rabbit hole. I throw almost exclusively baitcast setups. My personal favorite hands down is my tuned TD-Ito 103M. It can throw a 4 inch senko a mile. and weightless worms better than any spinning setup I own. Tuning can be fun hobby during down time. As I'm sure you already know, line weight makes an incredible difference as well I use somewhere between 10-25lb braid on all my setups and the PowerePro SuperSlick is the best I've found in terms of castability. If the price tag of these reels turn you off, a great alternative would be to get a nice lightweight reel of your choice and order a set of Boca Bearing orange seal ceramic ABEC 7 spool bearings. Almost all spool bearings are available and easily found on their site by selecting your reel from a list, and can be easily installed with very little trouble. You would not believe the difference they make on a reel and its ability to cast. Welcome to any additional info I can give. Happy Hunting.
