ColdSVT Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I see BPS and tackle warehouse are sold out already! I did not get one...yet Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I'm wondering if *** actually got them in? That red writing says they'll be getting small shipments throughout the next few weeks. I gotta get my hands on one! Quote
kingkong85 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Order from valley sports, ron is the owner. Quote
JeziHogg Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I really want to see a size comparison to a Chronarch or Core 50 Quote
black94gt50 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I really want to see a size comparison to a Chronarch or Core 50 They look the same size as the cI4, if so that's a comfortable reel and not big at all. I've never fished with one but checked them out at store and I like the profile of them a lot. Would be very easy to palm. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 I ordered one.... They said it will be at my door Mon. Or Tues. At 930a this place had 13 that's it. Also I was the 3 rd payor so got the 7.2.1 R/H Waiting....... Skippy Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Yes, I am eager to hear/read the review. Quote

I imagine they are the same size or about the same size as the 200E which was a very small reel when viewed from the side. I hope it isn't as wide though. Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 If anyone who gets one early can do a picture comparison between the 200E side by side, I have a "Like" ready for you 2 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 Oh yes when I get it, you can bet I will share all I can! Enjoy classic weekend! Skippy Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I tell you, if the winning angler of the Classic wins on a Curado I. Yeah, we might be able to find one come October. 2 Quote
down4ttown Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I actually got one today at the classic expo. Thing is nice. I would rate it over the CH200e Quote
bootytrain Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I actually got one today at the classic expo. Thing is nice. I would rate it over the CH200e Dude post pics.. Did they sell out or are there still any left? I might make a trip down there lol Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I was absolutely set on getting one...then the T3 went on sale for $202 and ruined my plans. Hard to pass on 50%+ off for a $429 reel. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I actually got one today at the classic expo. Thing is nice. I would rate it over the CH200e Have you fished it? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 Will have it Tuesday and will fish it Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Jeff 4 Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I was planning on picking one up at the Classic Expo but there aren't any lefties yet. I was told by the guys at the Shimano booth the best case scenario was the beginning of April. Quote
down4ttown Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Fished it today...Blown AWAY! I have a 50e Curado and a 200e Chronarch and this reel blows them out of the water in terms of casting, smoothness, and braking...it's not close guys. I just bought a Tatula type R last year and this reel is much better in my mind. It will take a few months of fishing them both to give an honest true opinion, but right now I am a believer. Using it with a 6 speed for spinnerbaits. Thing is a dream. Pics are coming. Quote
down4ttown Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Can't comment on the drag yet. We had some bad storms and all of our rivers are running far to hard to catch big numbers. I just wanted to test it out and IT PASSED with an A+! Quote

I just wanted to test it out and IT PASSED with an A+! Nice pics and mini review! I knew it would be awesome just by having the SVS Infinity. Thanks for posting for us to see it. Quote
broke4bass Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'd so much rather spend $180 on this than $200 on the Chronarch 200/50e. I'm glad I got my Chronarchs while the TW sale was going! ($150 each). The only thing I'm worried about this reel is the size. The ci4 palms so much better for me than the Chronarch 200e since I have small hands. If the Curado 200i is the same width as the Chronarch 200e, palming just wont be as optimal. Definitely not a deal breaker though! Quote
