PAGreg Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm looking at the Curado I in 5.5:1 for cranking. On Shimanos website, they show the 6.3:1 with an ipt of 23 and the 5.5:1 with 26. That seems backwards. Can someone clarify what the actual ipt is for the 5.5:1 model? Quote
Paulasaurus Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah that's most definitely a typo and backwards like you thought. Here's the Cabelas product listing for the Curado I http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shimanoreg-Curadoreg-I-Casting-Reel/1808686.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3FrecordsPerPage%3D18%26No%3D0%26N%3D0%26nl%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3DCurado%26search%3DSearch&No=0&Ntt=Curado Quote
PAGreg Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone own one that can chime in? Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 6, 2015 Super User Posted February 6, 2015 26" for the 6:3. Just backwards on the website. Hootie Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 6, 2015 Super User Posted February 6, 2015 I got one. Put a Hawgtech handle on it and made it into a Crankenstein beast. 3 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 7, 2015 Super User Posted February 7, 2015 I have been thinking of one of these for cranking as well. I can't make up my mind between this and a Chronarch. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 7, 2015 Super User Posted February 7, 2015 The CU200I 5:5:1 feels like the reel deal to me. Casts great & is pretty smooth on the retrieve. I'm taking mine to Lake Baccarac this June for deep cranking with Duo G87 20A & LC SKT 120 Mag DR. I will let you know after that field test. That will be the ultimate test for a deep cranking reel. 1 Quote
PAGreg Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I ended not buying one because I scored a bb1 pro in 5.1:1 for the same money. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 I got one. Put a Hawgtech handle on it and made it into a Crankenstein beast. Which grips is that Dwight? Is that the new Winn grips? Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Which grips is that Dwight? Is that the new Winn grips? Yes sir. Robert convinced me to try them for moving baits. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 is there any back play in the reel at all? just curious Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Just normal, typical shimano. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 is there any back play in the reel at all? just curious My curado I's do not, they are tight reels, I have shimanos that are 12 years old and it is a characteristic of shimano to have a slight back tick on the AR.. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I was curious because I read somewhere saying you want a little slop on a cranking reel not sure if it matters. Quote
