One of the Best Caster Shimano has ever produced !!!! Light ... very smoothe ... I've been fishing Bass Tournaments for over 40 years now. I've been using the Curado for about 15 yes. I match it with a Fenwick HMG Rod ... Best combination ever. Both are super light and complete balanced. I can honestly tell anyone .... Buy and try this reel and you'll want more of them. I'm up to 10 Curados now. Try it ... You'll Live it !!!! Chipper1882

The reel is great! It's really smooth and feels good in your hands. It is a bit heavy, but it's nice and solid. The braking system is awesome, it's really easy to adjust and open unlike other bait cast reels. Not sure what it's really called, but the knob near the handle comes loose at times. I would have to readjust it every few cast and so on. So far I've caught 3 white bass on it. The reel handled them well and I'm looking forward to catching more/bigger fish. Right now I have the Curado on a St. Croix Rage Rod, 6'6", Medium Heavy. Great setup! I gave this a 4 star because the knob keeps coming loose. It's not super bad, but for the price I paid for, it should be perfect.

I rate this almost on par with my Daiwa tatula Type R.....the curado matches everything or surpasses some things in head to head use but the Curado is smaller and lighter and has dual casting brake adjustability...good for the seasoned user.....a little too much for the new....maybe....dont let the price intimidate worth every cent.....buy once cry once. Great reel!

The reel is lightweight, but can handle heavy usage. i put it on a 7' rod to reduce its weight. I have always used a gun stock type pole handle and used only one hand to cast. The 7' rod with my garcia 5000 was to heavy to throw all day one handed. In most situations now I can throw the CU200i baitcasting reel with one hand. I am still learning how I want the braking system to feel, because there are options. The drag works extremely well.

I have the 5.5 version of this reel but felt it needs a real review. Light weight, excellent drag system works well with even light lures. I bought a Concept 13 the same year $300.00 reel) and it is as smooth and cast further..Now the Concept 13 does have 22lbs pf drag, but 5lb bass haven't been an issue for this reel. Shimano does it right..if you buy it you won't be sorry.
