Curado!,

I have the Curado 200BSF, which is the super free version that allows longer casts. This is such a great reel for the price. It is smooth and casts beautifully. I liked my first one so much that I bought 3 more(actually japan market scorpions which are mildly upgraded versions of this reel). I don't think people have to spend $300 on a reel when they can just buy this. Next year, I plan to upgrade the bearings to even further increase the performance of this fine machine.
I know that Shimano is replacing these soon so I plan on buying another one! The new one will probably have more features, but the more features, the more potential problems. |

Curado 201B,

| The Curado 201B is an excellent reel in both fresh and light saltwater. I have used it extensively for surf stripers and it has performed flawlessly! Light, easy to palm, it will cast lures with ease and has the power to fight 10-15lb stripers in the surf with no problems. As far a corrosion, none so far, and Ive used it for about 4 months now in saltwater, just lightly rinse, (Not submerge) in freshwater, and wipe down and lube when needed. I wouldnt recommend the super free model for salt due to the holes on the spool. They are susceptible to saltwater getting inside the gears. Other than that, I would highly recommend the Curado for both fresh and light saltwater. |
