Anyone tried one of the new Shimano Curado reels. I've been a huge fan of the 200Bs (I've got (4) super-frees, (1) 3.8 to 1 and (1) 5.8 to 1) for many years. I've also noticed a lot of non-sponsored fishing pros using these on T.V. They never say anything about their reels, except gear ratios, and they have no shimano patches anywher on their shirts. So, they must use them for a reason. I held one of the new Curados for the first time yesterday. My first thought was how much bigger the reel is now. This must be to house the much bigger drive gear which is now 7 to 1. My second thought was that the reel also went up by $50 too. This is getting to be a rich man's game. I hear a lot of fishermen are buying up all they can oof the old Curados because it a GREAT reel at at a RELITIVELY lower price.
