Curado

[smbrule]

I've had/have both the Curado 200e and the 50e. The 50e is significantly better in casting light jigs. My current stable of reels include the Citica 200e, Chronarch 50mg and Curado 50e.

All other things being equal the ability to cast/pitch light lures is largely dependent on how fast the spool starts and that is determined by the weight of spool filled with line.

Here are some spool weights in grams with and without Stren Original mono in 14# test.

The 50e spool empty weighs 11.4 grams; filled line it weighs 17.9 g.

The 200e spool empty weighs 13.8 grams; filed with same line weighs 24.2 g.

The Citica 200e spool empty weighs 14.8 grams; filed with line it weighs 25.2 g.

For comparison the "famed" Chronarch 50mg's spool weighs empty 12.2 g. and with same line 17.7 g. (Less line capacity than 50e so slightly lighter.)

It is evident that mono has a major effect on total spool weight.
