The elite has a 6 arm braking system vs 4 for the premier, and an 8:1 ratio option

You can buy Aldebarans for around $290 all day from japan

I've only held a steez a few times and the core 50 is noticeably smaller.

1st Choice, Exsence DC 2nd Choice, Chronarch CI4

Leave the external dial at 1, and are you using an overhead casting stroke or sidearm? Overhead goes much farther for me. Also if you are using a great casting lure try to go down to one brake.

What are your brake settings

Ive found that magnetic brakes are for more sensitive to wind. Do you think you think the wind picked up when you back lashed?

I used to own a Citica E which from what Ive read performed as good as the Curado 200E except with light weights. Id still get the Curado I all day long. I fish from shore so the extra casting distance is great. I have a few high end reels and I say go and pull the trigger on one, you wont regret it. Performance on par with the much more expensive Metanium.

The new braking system and x ship make it worth the money to me. That said, if I could find a high gear curado G for 99 I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Check BPS, they may have some Gs for $99.

I didn't even know of this model.. I googled it and the combo looks sweet. It looks to share the caenan/curado g frame which I handled at bps this weekend, and it is super comfortable to palm. Almost bought a G because it palmed so good lol. Nice review.

Thanks for posting this.. a couple of observations, the mono appeared to be as invisible as the flouro except when the mono was moved to the right side of the tank where there was more light. I was hoping he would put the flouro to the lighter right side of the tank but he didn't. They appear to have equal visibility when shown against the rocks of the tank. Did anyone see the same thing or are my old eyes tricking me?

I'm going to give flouro a try on a baitcasters for the first time. Im trying due to the reports of it being invisible underwater. Is this just a myth as well?

I would pick up a medium to medium heavy because the Curado I has a huge casting range.

Wasn't magforce v for the v shaped spools?

The great thing about a situation like this is that you will see what the difference is and appreciate a better reel more after you've started out with a lesser one.

So true, a $30 dollar baitcaster is going to be crap no matter what country its made it.. China, Japan, Germany, the U.S. or Mars..

Heres some 2014 Stella porn for you guys, it belongs to Gary from TTT.

What are you talking about? They still have an affordable aluminum framed reel in the citica that will do anything you ask of it. Only 129$.

Yeah this is a ridiculous entitlement mentality. I worked retail at a chain store that had a ridiculous return policy(Eddie Bauer). It was ridiculous how much the customers abused it.

The 6:3 should be plenty powerful enough to crank.

He wants the fastest reel so if its shimano that would be the metanium xg, available from Japan for much cheaper than in the u.s.

It looks like the crucial has cross weave graphite that seemed to only be used in shimano JDM sticks.

I actually think they look great.. There's just enough color variation to balance things out and none of the monotone color of the 13 reels. Doubt ill buy one though.

It does have the micro module gears.
