StormCaster Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The one with the aluminum or plastic spool is good for casting bait. Early to bed, early to rise, fish all day, make up lies. - unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finny Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The plastic spool has the greatest sound to it and it can put it out there if you want to hear God laugh tell Him your plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean curry Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The 140 is a fine reel. The 145 is even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfnDrum Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The squidder is an old favorite but why not a 525mag it has a drag system with a little more power giving you a much wider smoother drag range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striped Bass Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The squidder 140 is an excelent reel I use 3 of them myself, great casting machines, not an easy reel to learn how to cast conventional but once you do you will be very impressed on how far you will be able to cast, plus its built like a tank it will last you forever. If you fish with mono the plastic spool works good, but if you will be fishing with braid you will need an aluminum spool.
