I confess...I have been cheating!

Anyone that knows me around here, knows I am a Shimano fan. But with the release of the G series Curado, I have found myself with a wondering eye.

I bought an Okuma Serrano last year and love it. But since Ardent has bumped up from the Zoloft pill ad looking reels, I am finding it hard to fight the urge to purchase an American made reel in the $200 class with already installed ABEC bearings. Have any of the serious reel mechanics put their hands on any lately? ProReel, has any came in your shop? Someone give me the low down. Am I on the verge of promiscuity or should I ramain in my monogamous relationship. I don't see myself buying a G Series Curado because I am not wild about the thumb bar. I would be bumping up to the Chronarch or sniping the D series off of ebay until they step it back up.
