Curado I
The new Curado will be released at the Classic. I think it will be big hit and should compete with the Tatula. They caught so much flack over the Curado G that they had to come out swinging. My tax return will get here just in time for the release

What is the material in the frame and side plates? I thought it might be slightly lighter then I read. Everybody says the last model wasn't very good. I seem to recall a lot of reels made by Quantum and Diawa that have been clunkers also. It remains to be seen if they can rebound after the G models. And i hope they learned their lesson.

I'm guessing this will deflate the ebay guys selling NIB E's for $150+. Maybe $100 by summertime. I can only imagine the flood of new G's being dumped.........do I hear 75?.............50?............

I gave 1 away simply because it let line go between spool and housing ending up in the gears.Just got tired of having to take it apart and respool.
Do have another model that WORKS FINE. |

I noticed the lack of a magnetic brake on the side opposite the reel handle. Some new centrifugal brake? Yeah, you're right just too lazy to look it up. But I do like the dual braking system found on my reels, and others, for minor tuning for wind and such without opening the reel.

I didn't bite on a G because I was picking up Ds. I have a few Es and pleased with them, so I'm looking forward to what is said about the I.

So let me get this straight... Shimano went directly from the "E" to the "G" completely skipping the F-BOMB?

You are correct sir. I think they skipped C too.
