whats a typical set up for the sammy 100?

Houstein, For a Sammy 100 I use anywhere from a 6ft 8 rod in Medium type action.

You want something with some give with the treble hooks. Usually a good topwater rod is also a good cranking and jerkbait rod so it serves triple duty for me.

Just got a berkley 7' med. action rod to go with my curado 201. I paid 96 bucks on ebay. I should have it within the week, I can't wait to BACKLASH, LOL. Thanks again for all the great advice, this forum BASSTASTIC!

can someone tell me where the Shimano Bantam Curado 201BSF is made? Just wondering, it seems like stuff that comes out of japan last longerand works better than something made by the typical Chinese mfr. that everyone uses today. I hope no one takes offense to this comment, for the record i'm chinese american, so i can say that china made SUCKS!LOL....

My curado 100b(greeny) is made in Japan. Think the good qualtiy shomanos are made in japan.

Just my $.02 here. I backlashed for quite a long time with the bait caster, until I put on some triplefish fluorocarbon - not trying to be a groupie here, just was seriously amazed when I switched. I do still get backlash from time to time, but not every other cast anymore
