how do you like your curado e7 i am lookin at buyin it but i want to see what people think of it i heared you can get a better, smoother reel 4 cheaper. do you have any reel you would think i would like
Ive got 2 of the curado 200 e7's and 4 of the older bantam curado's and absolutly LOVE 'EM. both of the e7's have been thru 2 seasons of wade fishing so they are constantly getting dunked and still smooth. Ive always been a shimano man and dont plan on changing any time soon. As far as price goes...well you get what you pay for, just my .02
I have 2 curado 200sf that I have had for many years & still working good without any problems. I got the 200 e7 a few months ago & still trying to decide which reel is better. It took me a few trips out to get used to the lower profile of the e7. I dont think you could go wrong with the 200 e7.
If you like spinner reels, you might want to check into the Quantum Cabo PTS reels. The PTS 80 runs about 249 retail, but you can get it for about 190 on ebay. The PTS 80 has a max drag of 41 lbs. The PTS 60 has a max of 27 lbs and is a little cheaper. I have a couple of both and really love them. I use the PTS 80s for offshore and the 60s for flats fishing.
Get the Shimano and forget about the others. If you want a quality reel, it's the best. You can get imatations for a cheaper price but ................. get the Shimano!
You won't regret it!
I would definitely get the e7 or maybe the new 50e. I clean all of my friends reels, and one that stands out was my brothers e7. He does not take very good care of his reels, and this reel looked like a block of salt. I cleaned it up, and everything was in perfect working condition, there were no signs of corrosion anywhere. It also witnessed this reel land a 30lb bullred in the surf. This reel can definitely do it all.
what reel?
