Curado 200B (Greenie) Compared to REVOS & Citica

[LAO162]

I have 15-20 hours experience with the Curado 200B, but found that I would prefer a left hand model. Not intending to start a REVO vs Citica debate (we're not talking Carrot Stix ), I'm interested in seeing how these two reels compare to the Curado 200B on their respective merits. Thanks!

Well as luck would have it I have both a Citica 201D and a Revo S-L, and once owned a Curado 201B. I was one of the few who got a lemon Curado 201B, and I didn't own it for long. As for the Citica vs. Revo, flip a coin. I have fished one of my 2 Revo's, but the Citica is new this winter, so I would favor the Revo as of right now. I have practice cast with the Citica and it's impressive, so I really don't think you could do wrong either way.

Thanks, size-wise how do they feel? I'd rather not go up in size...

Revo is smaller and lighter than Citica, old green Curado is smaller than Citica.

Thanks, that's what I thought about the size.  Cheers

The Curado B was the reel that started my love-affair with the Revo.   ;D

Revo is smaller and lighter than Citica, old green Curado is smaller than Citica.

Citica 100DSV - 7.9 oz.

Revo S - 8.6 oz.

Thanks Burley, but I haven't been able to find a Citica 101DSV yet :)

If I had more coordination :-?, I'd just keep the 200B. However, with the $50 rebate the Curado 101D is looking more attainable

Of course my other option is to put my Stradic FH on a Cumara like the one you've been teasing us with.

Not Shimano's fault you're wrong handed.

My In-Laws are always telling me the same thing  

Of course to keep my gear consistent, I could just move the cranks on all of my spinning reels to the right hand side.  Then RH baitcasting would be no problem  ;D
