Debating these reels, I have a premier already thinking abouyt getting another one, or even a premier and also an exo. I was liking the 200G, lots of people say negative things about it, but its a great compact reel, will be use for top water, jerkbaits, sq bills and traps.

I would say get another premier, or an exo. If you want a curado skip the G and get an E off of the bay.

What happened to the Lews, Exo, Premier debate?

My lean would be towards the EXO but have to put that on hold for a minute.

The SX or STX in the Revo line is more apples to apples when comparing to the other two. Shimano has a big gap between the new Chronarch and Core price points and the Premier falls somewhere in the middle.

No G, go E. I actually like the look of the EXO. I hope it performs as good as it looks, but Im sure it does.

Curado E series. Don't go with the G. You can get a brand new 200/201E for $133 on ohya.com with free shipping and no tax. I have bought two of these recently to stock up since they are going out. Looks like you would save $70 or so to be able to pair you new reel with a decent rod. Great reels!!

I'd go with the premier or the curado without a doubt. I've used my friends exo and i really don't like the feel of it. It feels like its made from cheap plastic and the free spool button is the thinnest plastic on it! i was afraid to press it!!

Yeah guys I'm torn between 3 now, 200e7, premier 6.4:1, or Zillion 7.1:1? I can get any of them, I have 4 curado E's and I know they excellent, if i compensated and got the curado I could probably get more jerkbaits, hudds, and topwater baits like I want to get. *quote me if you reply

Forget about the zillion. I don't see the love it gets at all. It's not a bad reel at all but its definitely my least favorite reel in my arsenal behind the mgx which is crazy to think its only $30 more. I also prefer my team lews, patriarch xt both of which are $70 cheaper at full retail and the XT is on sale everywhere.
Of the reels you listed I would go with the premier as its almost the same reel as the pat.xt and i love that thing. It was by far my favorite reel before I got the mgx.

If you have 4 E's, than I would get something different. Expand your collection, thats what I do. Each reel that you get has its own charactoristic. I have all different reels, and like rods, they all have a strong point of use, and thats what they get rigged up for. Just my opinion, to me its nice to look at and use something different everytime I pick up a rig for use.
