Curado 6.3:1

Tavery5 · 07-04-10, 04:14 PM

I had been thinking like alot of others how nice it would be if at ICAST, Shimano came out with a Curado in a 6.3:1 gear ratio. Today it is raining and I was rather bored,so I got the great idea that I would transplant the gears from my Citica E to the Curado and visa versa. So after about an hour of work I now have a 6.3:1 Curado and a 5.1:1 Citica. I have not had the chance to fish either, but they both cast and reel just as smooth as before. The Citica, having the smaller handle may not be suited for larger crankbaits now, and will become my small shallow crankbait reel and I paired with a Shimano Crucial crankbait rod. I will update if I run into any problems down the road, but the swapout was very easy to perform, and I ended up with what I truely wanted.

Happy 4th to all
