Very Functional Reel...Love It!
By Robert Girard on 6/5/2019
Having owned multiple Curados (E, I, K), this is the best of the Curado line. Yeah, all the others do the exact same thing for $70+ dollars less, but the ease of control is almost effortless. All that is needed is a slight touch on the spool if you botched the cast, particularly with finesse baits, straightens the spool out and no backlash. Classic bass fishing lures are no problem, flawless casting ever time. Honestly takes what skills you’ve developed and allows you to think about your cast accuracy and not the spool. Plus, the reel is fun, especially the DC whine. You can backlash it if you try. Super simple and fun. Kinda reminds me of a Daiwa. Nothing that I don’t like about it. I have fished it religiously, 3-4 days a week, works flawlessly. J&H shipping was quick with great communication/tracking.
