Texas bassman Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 waking up early to be there when it opens. lol. its a deal and its my first curado. everyone seems to give it good reviews so im finally getting one in the 7.1:1 ratio!! Quote
Salamander12 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 On my way right now. I hope they have plenty of left handed reels. Quote
Salamander12 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I got there at 8:40am and there were already 60 people in line. They had 161 reels total only 31 left handed. Pretty much everybody bought 2 each some guys brought there kid so they could buy 4. I was lucky enough to get the last left handed reel. Quote
bootytrain Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm assuming this is not the new curado? Quote
coak Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I bought one from cabelas last week. Told'em about the $99 promo @BPS today and they price matched Quote
fishinthedacks Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I got mine today. Only 6 left. I didn't even know about them honestly and a pro was there and we were b/s'ing about frog fishing and he asked how many curados I picked up today and I was like "huh?". So he immediately brought me over there. He had 3 and was showing me his (he has 2 right 1 left) no rights were left but Im left anyways. I cant wait to use it. Quote
fishinthedacks Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 He and another pro also stated they had compared the new and old pre-release and the only difference is honestly the color. I dont know if it's true but that's what was said. I dont care personally I got my Callaway Irons last year for 499.99 the new ones were 899.00 on the golf simulator there was literally 0 difference in my distance and feel. A new release every year isn't always better. Hell Kawasaki Ninja 500's were the same for what 20 years haha Quote
Blues19 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I got 2, a 6 and a 7. They said they had 300 to start the day and the 6s and 7s were gone in a few hours. There were still about 30 5's when I went by about an hour before close. That was at the Springfield MO, store. Did all the other stores have 300 at the start? Quote
fishinthedacks Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Mine did. And they had a ton (20-25) of 5's lefts 6 6's 0 7's and that was at noon. Was very sad to hear there were no 7's. I checked ebay and I could throw in another 30-35.00 for a 7 I guess but I only wanted one frog reel this year. Quote
Texas bassman Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 I got there at like 920 am and they were all out of 7s. So I got a 6. Wish I could've bought 2 but im poor right now. Lol people were buying them up fast. Im pretty sure they were gone within 1hr. 1 Quote
fishinthedacks Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Yeah the guy behind the counter said the 7's left and right handed were gone like that. The right handed 6's gone just as fast. Once they found out I was left handed they laughed and said how lucky I was. Quote
Texas bassman Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Man id even take a left handed 7. But I really like the reel. I was pitching with it yesterday outside. I live in the northern Chicagoland area or lakes are still frozen. Quote
iamham3 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I got to my local BPS at 8:59 and there were already about 100 people in line. They sold out of all right-handed Curados in 13 minutes, about 300 reels. I was one of the unfortunate not to get one. Quote

Hell Kawasaki Ninja 500's were the same for what 20 years haha When the G series was released all the Shimano fanboys talked about how disappointed they were. Now with the I series all the fanboys talk about is how awesome the new reel is. I would venture to guess that the G and I are miles apart according to most who have actually used them. Quote
SudburyBasser Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Lucky people... my local outfitter had a sale on Curado Gs as well -- picked up a 201G6 today -- but they sure as heck weren't $99! Oh to live close to a BPS. Quote

Oh to live close to a BPS. It wasn't 99 for us up here, it was 129.99. You know the retailers have to pay for "shipping up here". You know how that valid excuse they had before (currency difference) and now it's "shipment of product and other taxes". Quote

morbidsteve Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Dang, I was actually fishing right next to the local BPS (about 20 miles away). I didn't know about this deal as I just started fishing again since four months ago. So I call them and they were closing in 27 minutes. Hopped in my car (it just started snowing) and got there just in time to pick up two. Problem is that they're 5.5:1. Never used anything but 7.1:1, so I'm going to give one a try and see how I like it. Steve Quote
wngan9447 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I got Dicks Sporting Goods to price match and they let me use a 20% coupon. Picked up the Curado for 79 bucks and saved on gas. Def happy with my deal. 2 Quote
Salamander12 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Did all the other stores have 300 at the start? No my local store only had 161 and they sold out in 15 minutes. There were about 60 people left in line who didn't get one. Quote
