These are reels in my price range that I'm interested in.. Going to be used for sq bills up to deep cranking. Suggestions please. THANKs!

I'd be after a Curado/Chronarch.  A Lews Team could be had for under the price of the Premier and I really feel it's a much better built reel.
Edit: The JM Signature series reels would be a good one to look at, too.

I'm on a teter toter with these 2. Abu Garcia Revo winch 5.4:1 or Curado 200e5, will be used alot for deep cranking.(take into consideration the large handle on the revo) I'm a shimano guy and have premier.. I so far like it but you gotta love Shimanos.. I'm in a toss up with these 2.

The winch is 165$, the premier is 190$, the Curados are 144$, the exo is 194$, the lews is 75$

I'm a quantum guy myself but I've heard good things about the lews and the premier reels as well as the curado. I like the exo but as with anything new it will have to see repeated usage to gain its following. You can't beat the price of the Lews in that field.

Thanks for the input! I just ordered the Curado.

[LgMouthGambler]

Good choice!

Your gonna like that Curado. I like mine almost, but not quite as much as my Calcutta's. After what Shimano has done to with the new Curado's, I intend to just stick with the Calcutta's.

That's what mine is. I like that little reel a lot. It has served me very well, still does actually.

Now come on and make that jump to the Calcutta. I promise you'll never look back from it.

Not that I need another Revo I already have 1 too many but who has the Premier for $190?

[nwibass]

Ebay, its new I just got 1 in 7.1:1, I am assuming their business failed and are trying to get rid of their items. It is a legitamite new premier, I'm very happy with it
