Cool! The Caenon looks like a winner!
Just wish they'd make the 50 series Curado with 15-20 lb drag. Be a nice flippin or pitching reel. |

Well Congratulation Shimano, a reel that piques my interest. I was hoping for an Chronarch 50/51, but making it a Curado will do. Taking a page out of Daiwa's book and building reels on the popular platforms was a good move.
Built on the Core 50/51 platform, but I'm assuming aluminum frame and brass gears. It's basically a USDM version of the Scorpion 1000/1001XT. A higher speed would have been preferable, but oh well. BB

So are the 200s going to still be $179? Hope so. 50/51 size will never fit my fishing needs, but gosh it's tempting.

I like the looks and price of the Caenan. Think I will stick with my Revos for now....

So the new Curado will only be available in the 50/51 size? Isn't that the very small profile like a Scorpion?
I have one of the Japanese Scorpions in that small profile. It's great if you want to do super finesse on baitcasting, but otherwise, I've learned to dislike that small size reel. I hope the new Curado (one of my favorite reels btw) is still offered in the 200/201 frame size.

The 50/51 size is an addition to the line up, it´s not going to substitute anybody.

I agree Shimano Curados are fantastic reels. So , the 50/51 size is smaller correct ? Is this the only differance ?

I haven't had the chance to hold any of these reels yet, but hopefully they palm better than the Curado/Citica platform... BB

I'm with everyone else, that Curado is very intriguing. My issue with the Curado and Citica 200's are the way they palm. A different profile is very appealing, especially if it handles ultra light lures well.

Wonder if the Caenan has an aluminum frame? My guess is no given the price point and other specs.
