I'm at least thinking about one of the Cosairs and the Musky Rod.

Any input would be awesome. I might do the deal this weekend.
 
I don't know about those. But, I hope spring comes your way soon. It seems you have been on a buying spree
 
Haha...

I actually haven't purchased a whole lot, I've just been really really close on a lot of stuff. My better judgment always seems to kick in right at the last second.

But you're right...I need spring. I think all of us northern guys do.
 
Got a Corsair when I bought a used muskie rod...it's crappy for casting, but I'm thinking of using it for trolling
I don't think it's one of the better reels shimano produced (and I like shimano), but at $25.00, can't go wrong

I know this is an older post but figured I would respond. I had a Shimano Corsair for about a month and it fell apart. Took it back to Sport's Authority and got a second one. The second one fell apart within a month as well, took it back as well. Not a very good Shimano reel. Worst Shimano I have ever owned.
 
if you like those type of reels,try to find an ambassadeur.the old 6000's are good.they are fairly cheap. ive pulled in a 50 lb. salmon on one.
 
I have a corsair CS300 nice reel very smooth and casts far I have mine loaded with 20 and use it for striped bass and northern pike. I just dont think Id give 25 bucks a reel unless they are in like new condition! they were only 40 to 45 bucks new.

Junk in comparison to others available. Won't hold up long with hard fishing. Not made for a diehard!


they'll hold up they just dont take abuse and neglect well... ive fished with my CS300 in 3 different states for multiple species of fish even some salt water fishing in the gulf of mexico its landed hundreds of fish some upwards of 25-30 lbs only had one piece break on it and it was my fault for over tightening the line guide pawl cap. Keep it clean and lubricated and they will last.
