Another Toy... This Time A Green One
Well added another reel to the arsenal today! Was not really looking for another reel, but the Dick's near me has Curado E7's for $125... and I have never fished a Shimano, so I figured what the hey... Mounted it on my 7'4" MH Quantum Superlite PT rod, and will be using it for football jigs and c-rigs. I hope I like it, some of the cheaper Shimano's I previously owned flat out sucked...
Ryan

I've got 4 of them and really like them so far. I do plan on adding a 50 E as well.

Congrats Ryan, great reels! I think you will really like it, if the profile of the reel works for you. You might want to flush the bearings, Shimano seems to be one to really pack them full of grease.
Let us know what you think.

I purchased a 50E earlier this year, upgraded to the abec 7 orange seals, and it is a casting machine. I have not had an opportunity to fish it on the water yet, but have cast it in the yard and I will say that it is very impressive how far it will cast weights as light as 3/16th of a ounce. I have no doubts of its ability to cast even lighter weights, but I do not have a proper rod to try it with.

Sounds like you got a really good deal. That should be a nice combo for sure!

You got a good deal. Kind of off topic, but the water up there looks crazy clean compared to ours
