hooker Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 While shopping yesterday at the local Big Pro Store, I had the opportunity to view the upcoming Father's Day sale paper. Curado's @ $139 ... $40 off. Sounds like an excellent Father's Day gift to me. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 28, 2011 Super User Posted May 28, 2011 Thats a steal!! Shimanos hardly ever go on sale! Jeff Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted May 28, 2011 Super User Posted May 28, 2011 That's cheaper than on eBay...a really good deal. Quote
Bigs Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 I used to see them on ebay for 140 shipped all the time, havent looked in a while tho Quote
JaxBasser Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Academy has them for that price also. Sale starts today. Quote
dulouz Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 American Bass Outlet has them like that every now and then (with bassresource coupon)..Yes thats a good deal. I bought a citica from them and it was $99 shipped. They had excellent service. I would order from them again. Quote

JaxBasser Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Retailers are liquidating the E series to make room for the new Curados and Chronarchs. Yeah, I figured that's what it was. Still a nice deal though. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 29, 2011 Super User Posted May 29, 2011 Just got four of the curados. Stupid bait monkey. As if bait wasnt enough now hes influencing my tackle purchases. Quote
715eg6 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Hell of a deal, i remember last year i picked up two Sustain for $130 a peice cause our local gander mountain was making room for the 2011 series! Quote
hooker Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Well, I couldn't wait for the Father's Day special so I trekked to Academy and picked up a Curado 200 E7 on sale. This is after retiring a 20 year old Daiwa ProCaster, then buying a BPS Pro Qualifier Tournament on Friday. Looks like I'm all in now and the funds are beginning to flow from the bank account into my fishing account. So, I fiddled with the BPS PQT all weekend and couldn't believe how smooth and well built this reel was. That is ... until I bought the Curado. Wow, is all I can say! This is one precision reel! Maybe I'm easily impressed after being out of the fishing game since the early 90's, golfing and riding motorcycles. But ... instead of polishing chrome on the bike, now I'm tinkering with these reels in amazement at the engineering in these things. A far cry from the ProCaster PS-10 I use to throw. The technology and engineering in these things is amazing. All that's left now is to spool them up and get to the lake and try them out. I just know there is a 7 lb'er out there hiding from me. More to come ... Hooker! Quote
