70, 150, or 200 Reel

[Columbia Craw]

I bought my last one on Amazon for 202.00.  You have to watch the exchange rate of the Yen to Dollar.  It’s a timing thing.

We need a better way to identify Shimano reel sizes.  The numbering system mostly  reflects line capacity rather than frame size.  There are multiple reels like the Curado 200k/Scorpion 150 MGL, Casitas 150/100 MGL and Metanium 100/70 that are physically the same size (because they use the same frame) but have a different number because of a shallower or deeper spool.  There are even numbering that don't make any sense at all my the 17 Engetsu 100, which is a Curado/Scorpion 70 with a SHALLOWER spool meant for PE line and vertical jigging.

 

A list sort of like this might be more helpful.  Feel free to add.  I'm not much of a Shimano guy.
