bflp3 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I haven't been able to get to the store to check out the Curado 70, can anyone with both of these reels compare the size? Thanks! Quote
USMC22 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Curado 70 feels considerably smaller, as it should at half the size almost (Chronarch is 150 size). I'll snap some photo's tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it. 2 Quote

bflp3 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Wow really? I'm kind of surprised by that. My Ci4 is by far my smallest reel (mostly PQs), I figured the 70 would be just a little smaller. Pictures would be great, thanks! Quote
OnthePotomac Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Both reels are 6.5oz, but my Curado 70 is a little smaller than my CI4 and the difference is the material used in the Curado reel body. The CI4 body has no metal and is a carbon infused material, but bigger than the Curado 70. Quote

In the last pic there is a 200I for additional comparison. 1 Quote

I idon'thave the free time nor the know how to do that. I got it here: https://rodsatrest.com/collections/rod-racks I like the rack. Shipped within a few days and only two complaints. #1 - One of the screws on the bottom did not "snug up" into the recessed hole. I think the wood was hollow in the EXACT area it was suppose to screw into if that makes sense. #2 - The top shelf section split a little bit when installing the first screw. Neither affect the structure or function and it is still a beautiful rack. The two things I point out are my ONLY complaints and will be forgotten with time and use of the rack. There is also a video of the installation process. You'll notice the volume drowns out when he installs the top section (which makes me think the wood may have split on him too). Great rack though and well worth the price (to me) even with the two minor complaints. Quote

Been looking for a new one. Appreciate the help bro! Quote

Been looking for a new one. Appreciate the help bro! Anytime. Those racks you'd have to use every other by I have 14 set-ups on the other side. You can use the slots in between for unpaired rods. With the casters on it it sure is nice being able to move it around to be efficient with space.
