Shimano Curado 201 BSF $150
cool green color,6.2 gearing, super smooth even after 5 years of service with me, never been serviced, a lot of boat rash but doesn't mess with performance of reel, holds a lot of line, harder to palm due to its size, overall great reel one that i will never get rid of as its my first baitcast!
Shimano Curado 201E7 $179
Awesome,7.0 gearing, same size as 100 series from last year, holds same amount of line as the 200 series, super smooth, very light weight but its not magnesium, makes my imx and mossybacks even more fishable all day long! I own 2 and will be replacing all of my reels with all curados!
Bass Pro Shops Extreme Reel $60
6.2 and 5.4 gearing, back lash issues, smooth, casting ability ok, cool green color, swept style handle, used for cranks, will never buy again
