Default Best Reel I have Ever tried

Well, I didn't go out yesterday due to my boy having a ball game, so I went out today instead. Â*

My buddy was showing me this new baitcaster that he got for Christmas, and he was casting so good with it that I had to try it. Â*It was a Shimano Curado and I fell in love with it. Â*I own a couple of Quantums and this thing beats them by a long shot. Â*I was making casts with it that I have never been able to do with my Quantums and I didn't even backlash once. Â*I couldn't believe how smooth the line came off when casting.


You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be getting me a couple of these in the near future.

My friends got a curado, I don't think its worth the money. There are better shimano reels than the curado, $120, for less money (coriolis, $80) but I'll take my BPS Extreme, $80, any day.

i use a shimano almost exclusivly now becuase i redfish and spec fish and i like to be able to take my same reels i bass fish with out on the big salt the curada i use for runnin baits they do pretty good even out on the flats were it gets prett windy ive started usin spin casts lately too and ive fell in love with the shimano Sahara castin live bait and a popin cork it kicks *** and ive cuaght 20+ lbs redfish on it with 12lb line with an all star medium rod
i also used to be a quantum but most of theyre reels dont do well in saltwater i find they tend to get rough even when well cleaned and oiled
SHIMANO IS AWSOME FOR ANY THING!
