Super User Sam Posted August 21, 2008 Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Small spool. Finesse reel? Quote
twors Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 That green is gonna look sweet on my loomis mosseyback....when are the left handed versions coming out ? Quote
Super User Micro Posted August 21, 2008 Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Looks like they were painted with a brush. I'll give you $80 (shipped) for both. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted August 21, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Small spool.Finesse reel? 110 yards of 14 lb. capacity. The spool is quite deep. Quote
Super User Micro Posted August 21, 2008 Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Is the frame REALLY smaller than the 100D? I can't imagine that and wonder if it's true? Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 21, 2008 Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Looks like both She Mano and Flooger are responding to the Revos,ABU is the leader in this current design and low profile. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted August 21, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Is the frame REALLY smaller than the 100D? I can't imagine that and wonder if it's true? All I have to compare it to is a Citica 100DSV. I'll snap some side-by-side photos when I get a chance. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted August 21, 2008 Super User Posted August 21, 2008 Looks like both She Mano and Flooger are responding to the Revos,ABU is the leader in this current design and low profile. You got that right.....Abu has been smokin' the other reel companies since the Revo's came out. She-mano HAD to do something..... Quote
Speed Worm Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Go fish it and tell us how it performs! That's too beautiful of a reel to be so clean. Go get some fish stench on it! Quote
Top Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 that is one nice looking reel... I am envious of you beyond words... AL Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 22, 2008 Super User Posted August 22, 2008 HEY! RESTRICTED TO MEMBERS OF THE SHIMANO POSSE ONLY Who's trying to hyjack this thread? We have room for Flooger and AbbaDabbaDo endorsements... Start your own thread! : Quote
mattm Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I'll wait until I see the reel in person, but my first thought is that I don't think I like the green at all. I suppose it could just be the way the green is coming across on the computer. Is it the same green as the old Curados. Plus, I'm bitter b/c I purchased 3 "NEW" Curados this spring. Bad decision.

ferryman Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Possibly best bang for the buck . . . but I go to my TDZ103 and Pixy more often than my STX . . . and I believe they were around before the Revo; not? I am glad the Shimano guys finally get to be excited about some eye candy. I really wanted a Core but they don not make them for lefties. :'( Quote
Super User burleytog Posted August 22, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 22, 2008 The paint on this thing is sick. Size-wise, I would compare it to the Revo Premier. Very low profile, palms quite nicely. The addition of the power paddles was quite welcome. Some offset in the handle would have been nice, as would have bearing supported handles. All in all, from a purely aesthetic perspective, it's a kickass reel. Compared to the Citica 100DSV (same frame as Curado 100D), it is smaller and lighter. Not the best photos though... Quote
Super User grimlin Posted August 22, 2008 Super User Posted August 22, 2008 That reel looks sweeter than i thought it would. Now comes the hard part...saving money for one. Quote
ghost Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Actually the Core does come in a left hand version in 6.2:1 gear ratio. http://www.***.com/descpageRLCSHIMANO-SCOCR.html Would like to get one, but I'm quite happy w/ the chronarch 101 that I have. Also I'd rather have the 201E Curado when it comes out than the Core....which I don't like the price. Quote
Speed Worm Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I guess this reel creates love/hate reactions in people, kinda like Scions and Crocs. I personally do not like the aesthetics of this reel, but I'm still going to purchase 3. It all comes down to performance. I am awaiting reviews from BR. Btw ... Curado Green and Carrot Stick Orange. Interesting combo! It matches your avatar colors Burley! Quote
mike bat Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 well i have to give it up shimano did a bang up job ,,, its about time they made a reel that didnt weigh 10oz ... aside from that the green is SICK ... i wonder how one of those new cu s would look on a new croix legened extreme or legened elite ???,, i bet they would make a sexy couple ....

Super User Micro Posted August 22, 2008 Super User Posted August 22, 2008 Those are pretty good pics, Burley. It does look lower-profiled than the Citica. I'm interested in seen one in person. I'd like to here how it casts light baits. Quote
Aaron Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Sharp looking reels. Have you handled the Curado D's? I am just curious how hey feel compared to the D's. I know there is a size difference but other than that do these feel like better reels? I like the Curado D's and probably won't get one of these unless they are just that much better. I will get a Citica though. Quote
Bassaholic84 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Looks sweet planning on buying one this winter for next year. Want to hear some reviews and hold it first Quote
B-o-b Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Those are nice pictures. That reel is lookin' good. Quote
