Hi, new to the forum, my first post.
Dose anyone use Low profile Baitcasters in the UK for Sea Bass/ Lure fishing, e.g. Shimano Curado DC 201 HG, and what are peoples opinions on the subject.
I know they are all the rage in the US and some parts of Europe, they also seem to be popular with Pike fisherman and for Bfs but i don't see a lot of sea anglers using them.
Would love to get peoples opinions on pros and cons.
 
I’ve got one that I bought in the USA about 20 years ago and it’s still fine although I don’t use it much. It’s hanging on the wall in my lounge/kitchen/dining room. It’s got spiderwire braid on it and it’s attached to a zebco two piece rod that came from bass pro. The reel is a Bill Dance quantum.

That looks like a nice bit of kit for pike.....
