Big-O Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 After 50 yrs of rebuilding my own reeIs, I finally decided to send about 10 of my fav's to a REEL PRO and Mike at Delaware Valley Tackle did a terrific job I only use the old Curados as they hold up to my style of ABUSE with winching on 65lb braid and 25lb fluoro minimums. It was amazing how much better these were when I got them back and another THANKS to Mike... REEL PRO 2 Quote

kingkong85 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Do you mind going into detail on how they are Better? Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I can't stand it any longer.. I have to buy an old curado. I love the work horse qualities of them.. Quote
Big-O Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Do you mind going into detail on how they are Better? Smooth, Quiet, Cast are long, flips are sweet, drags are super smooth, all balanced, bearings give NO feel sound or vibration during any part of use... Bout all I can say! 2 Quote
kingkong85 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks just what I was looking to hear. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks Big-O and Goose for the kind words. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 Mike supertuned a Curado 200E and 50E for me last spring. I am VERY pleased! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 I taught Mike everything he knows. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I taught Mike everything he knows. But not everything you know, right? lol 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 25, 2014 Super User Posted January 25, 2014 Smooth, Quiet, Cast are long, flips are sweet, drags are super smooth, all balanced, bearings give NO feel sound or vibration during any part of use... Bout all I can say! Now that is what I call an endorsement. 50 years doing your own work makes you plenty qualified to realize the quality of Mike's work. Mike has done a few reels for me. At least 2 used reels went directly to Mike before heading my way. Didn't use my brand new Cuardo 51E until after Mike went through it. Probably should have so I'd have a reference as to how much better the reel was after Mike did his magic. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 25, 2014 Super User Posted January 25, 2014 Actually, Mike and I share info quite regularly. When I first met him at a fishing seminar, it was pretty clear he knew what he was doing after the first five minutes of talking to him. He's even gotten me out of a couple jams - disappearing e-clips; crazy two speed reels; etc. Quote
BryanBrown Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Glad to hear this!!! sending Mike my Chronarch 200E6 first thing Monday. Thanks again Mike for answering all my questions... Can't wait!!! Quote
Big-O Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 LOL, I just bought 3 more used Curados and sending them to Mike for gear upgrades and ck out prior to getting them in the mix... Figured he may find something that needs attention while I'm BRUISING the ones he just finished tuning... It's nice to have a "one man pit crew" to help keep me in the Game Quote
