MARSH MASTER Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I went to my local tackle shop today and was talking to them about the new reels. They were getting them in in two weeks. They also told me that the new curados didn't come in the 6:1 only the 7:1 and 5:1. Has anyone else heard this? Is it true? The 6:1 was the ones I normaly buy. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 16, 2008 Super User Posted July 16, 2008 200E7 - 7.0:1 ratio 200E5 - 5.01:1 ratio Quote
aggiebassin Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 yep, that's right...if you want a 6 gear ratio you will have to get a citica Quote
Georgia Jeff Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 According to Tackle Tour they will have the 6:2:1 ratio on the 300E's. Check it out... http://www.tackletour.com/reviewcuradociticapreview09.html Quote
Super User .RM. Posted July 16, 2008 Super User Posted July 16, 2008 Yup only on the 300E and the 301E series 6.2:1 at a heavy 10.5 oz weight.... Were the Citica 200E and 201E series 6.2:1 at a more reasonable 7.8 oz weight.. Tight Lines! Quote
SawyerOB Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I pre-ordered my curado friday ;D I decided to get the 7 rather than the 5. It seems the 5 is just to slow. Quote
Micropterus salmoides Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 There's a possibility that a 6.2:1 gear set may be fitted inside one or both of the new Curado 200Es. Once the reels have been available to industry insiders for a while and they have time to tinker with them we should know. Cross your fingers. Quote
bassripper2000 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Looks like the revamped their Middle Line of Spinning reals too from the symetre on down to the sedona. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted July 16, 2008 Super User Posted July 16, 2008 The new reels are on shimano's web site.Just checked the site only D series reels there bud, can you provide a link. I'm on that site almost daily and haven't seen the reels yet. Shimano take for ever to upgrade the site after ICAST, and the new releases usually don't get to the site until they are actually stocked in retailers... Tight Lines!!!! Quote
