Difference between the Shimano curado 71hg and the 71xg

[21qdodge]

I want to know what’s the difference between the Shimano curado 71hg and the 71xg. Does one throw light lures farther than the other one ? What’s the gear ratios? Where is the cheapest to buy?

The only difference between the two is the gear ratio. With the 71hg being 7.2:1(28" per turn) and the 71xg being 8.2:1(32" per turn).

They cast exactly the same.   Best price would either be wait for a retailer sale or try checking out the bass resource flea market section.
