Currently in the shop .... Lew's are selling about 15 to one over Shimano .... Compared to the Lew's Tournament Pro, the Curado feels like a cheese grinder. We have a customer that lives in Canada that has put the Lew's through hell on BIG toothy critters and still loves them.
That being said, if you are going to buy a Shimano, wait until sometime in June to do it .....
