This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Ok guys looking at buying a new reel for strictly skip casting jigs looking at either a tatula type r or a qauntum exo whats your thoughts? Also I'm open to suggestions for reels! Also what gear ratio would you recommend

t-bone

So for jigs and docks, I would think the faster the better to pick up slack and try to get them out of trouble. Fish under docks tend to pickup and run.
I have a quantum exo that I'm not using. Don't know what the gear ratio is - would have to look. Send me an email at terrybone@comcast.net if your interested. 1year old - I'd part with it for $175. Nothing wrong, works great - just trying different reels this year.

Did you like the exo be honest and is it left handed?

t-bone

I did like it but I'm just getting down to a couple brands. It is right handed and 5.3:1 ratio

I love my tatula's, they cast amazing and for the price seem to be a steal. Just an FYI, there is virtually 0 differences between the type R and the regular, the dress up kit isn't worth the price in my mind.
