Super User J Francho Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 An AR bearing holds it without a pawl on just about EVERY other reel on the market, the past 20 years. Removing it can make the person that removed it think it works smoother. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Curado I ....it's really awesome so far CuradoD or E or chronarch E that said if you are On a tight budget then aG I guess it's solid most Users say so... I don't like it or own one but it may work out for you. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 G = clearance pricing, stupid easy braking system (set&forget) I = retail, wide braking adjustment that can be finicky Quote

I've thrown from 1/4oz to 3/4oz with the Curado I and haven't needed to change the brakes, just a slight turn of the spool tension. It's as easy to use as any other system I've used. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 While pitching a 5" senko into the wind... With serious gust to 25 mph I was still getting 60' Curado I is so far a amazing reel..initial setting 2 brakes on... Adjustment dial at 1 ... 3 maybe 4 loose coils... Bumped adjustment dial from 1 to 3 no more loose coils... It's a long distance caster too.... 3/4 oz on heavy 7'6" loomis I was able to get 200 feet over and over and over. It's casting ability competes head to head with my CTE200GT... So far.. I really love this reel. Center clutch is super nice... You get a lot of reel at 179.99 No bb flush either... I won't even bother till warranty expires. I will be looking for a lefty before long! 2 Quote

If you are only using one rig for everything, small adjustment may be needed, but for the most part, one and done! Quote
