TNRvr Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 My first quality bass setup. Rod arrived today, reel a few days ago. I didn't waste any time checking it out. Casts like a dream! Farther and smoother than anything I've ever thrown. St. Croix Avid 7' MH/F Curado I 5.5:1 Yo-Zuri Hybrid 12lb 4 Quote
Getfit74 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Nice setup, I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on one of those curados myself Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Good looking outfit man, I think you'll really enjoy it for many years. I'm planning to pick up a new Curado I just as soon as they're available. Edit: By "they're" I of course mean the lefties. Quote
bootytrain Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Nice setup, I also have the 5.5 Curado and its got super smooth cranking power. I could feel a huge difference vs a 6:4 ratio Revo SX when reeling in a big double willow spinnerbait. The Revo labored and tired out my forearms but the Curado I could barely feel the blades turning Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 That's a nice combo. I own both the rod and reel, but they are not paired together. Enjoy!! The new Curado's are something else. Quote
bootytrain Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Is that bc of the gear ratio? Probably that, the x ship, and the smaller teeth on the gear. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 Sweeeet! Real nice combo!! Quote
Super User tcbass Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 So Probably that, the x ship, and the smaller teeth on the gear. So you think XShip isn't so good? Quote
David D. Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 So So you think XShip isn't so good? No, he was saying that the X-Ship aided the smoothness of the retrieve. Quote
MemphisFF Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Got two curado I's and I love them, enjoy brother Quote
