Fat-G Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I would say Curado...the JM Sig is a pretty nice reel for the price if you are talking about the chrome one. I have a buddy that fishes them and old blue tours and wouldn't trade them for anything. He's fished Fuegos and Revos and still like the JM better. The Power Knobs are so comfortable. I don't even want to use my Citica anymore... Plus the Curado is so noticeably better than any reel I've fished it puts the others to shame. Quote
hookingem Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Another vote here for the curado it is down right nasty! Im trying to save up for a 200e5 right now Quote
TXBasshunter Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Okay guys, thanks for all the valuable feedback. Ended up going with the Curado e7. Will follow up with a report as soon as I get to fish it. Quote
Finnz922 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Revo SX over the rest. Not a fan of the JMO's handle knobs. Curado is okay. Revo S is solid for the money. I would steer you towards the Daiwa Advantage 153HSTA though. I think you will be much happier in the long run. Mag Z braking is easier to adjust on the fly and makes casting into the wind simple. Also with the 11 bearings just a much smoother reel than the rest. Go to your local store and check it out. Quote
Finnz922 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 So, I probably should have paid attention to your last post. Hope the Curado works for you. Definitely a good choice even though it's not a Daiwa. I owned a Curado for a little while just thought the Daiwa's casted better and for $180 didn't see the need to keep it around. Quote
TXBasshunter Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Hey, no problem. I'll check out the Diawa also. Got the Curado new off Ebay for $138, so the price was nice. Thanks for the info I can always use more reels Quote
