Shimano Corudo 301E

ah... I see that you had to edit your post. I got your original in my email's inbox.

"I'm not sure what application are you talking about but the only advantage of 200 series is the capacity. I just loaded my 50e with 20# Ohero braid and it has the same cap as my CU 200e with 20# Sufix 832. I use them both for casting jerk bait and small swimbait weight 1/4 oz to 3/4 oz. The 50e cast better and retrieve smoother."

200e is better for heavy duty applications. 200e comes in two ratios, good luck deep cranking with the 50e. The 200e7 is easier to flip, pitch, and punch with. The 200e is better for light swimbaits because you won't spool yourself like the 50e.

Now I am not saying one is better than the other but each has its time and place and for you to say the 50e is so much better is blasphemy.

Do you have both CU 200e and CU 50e? I could not imagine you would say the 200e is better since the 50e cast further and retrieve smoother.

Curado 200e is actually a disappointment on the curado series. The older Curado 100 B is even better than the CU 200e.

The only application/time and place that it would be better than the 50e is when you need a backup reel in the tackle box.

Don't get me wrong but I still like my CU200e....... in my tackle box as backup reel though..

I traded my 50e in for a 200e. Like I said on is not better than the other, but there is undoubtedly applications where each is better than the other at. I use my 200e7 for flipping and pitching. If I was fishing jigs, plastics, squarebills, jerkbaits, or even topwater, then I would most likely go with the 50e. I do need that higher line capacity with the 200e since I am using 20lb fluorocarbon though. I didn't notice a difference in smoothness between the two. The older shimano b series is actually my favorite line they made. I own a Curado 100b, Chromica 100b, and a Chronarch 100b. They are all great reels no doubt. The 200e is definitely not a disappointment to the Curado series. I find most of your claims are very blatant but there is no point in arguing over two reels.

Are you serious, the 200e is a "disappointment" on the Curado series??? Really. All I can ask is what are you smoking?

A disappointment??? Ahhhhhhh i am freaking out right now! this is one of the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!!! I can never take anything you say seriously again... though I really never did

Sorry to dissappoint you but that is the fact. You should try using a CU100B and CU 50e and you'll understand what I mean.

Happy New Year to you!

Actually, that would be an opinion, not a fact. . There are plenty of people who would argue with you saying the 200e was a dissappointment.

Fair enough!
