Same here. I read about it and was not 100% sure. After reading any negative stuff about them (which was very light) nothing mentioned the reel seat. Plus with the walk in warranty Shimano has, I was sold. There is a BP less than a mile from my job m

Excellent post man. May I steal this picture for my archives?

I voted for brush only. I use it for everything.

Black n Blue

Bought lol as in past tense

Anyone have this yet? I'm seriously thinking of upgrading my cranking set up to this. The new gears are stronger. Bent handle and star. EVA grips and its BLACK!!!!

I now have two Curado G's. I tried out the Citica's but didn't care for the price v's quality. For 130 bucks its not half the reel the Curado is.

I think that's a great deal. Even if they are closed out in a year or two, the price won't be that low

My new 200g7 on my 6'8" M/M will be arriving soon too!

Your not asking for too much lol.

Agreed.

That was a big selling point with me on the Crucial.

I edited the title to include rods as well. I have been shopping for a new pitching rod and have noticed that some of the higher end rods are lacking in some small things. For instance the Duckett rods. They look amazing. I'm not a huge fan of cork, but I love the color and split grip. I just can't stand the hook keeper. Also I would like to see them with a more exposed reel set like my Veritas and Crucials. The new white ice are dead sexy but with the reel seat and hook keeper, I keep shying away. Plus the price is amazing too. I have been thinking about a G. Loomis GL2. But again the reel seat doesn't do it for me. I wish they came in black too. My message to all reel and rod manufactures.......black black black baby!

Your not asking much . But yes, yes it would!

That's a bit outta my budget. Thanks though

I've seen both on his deck. Most Veritas but a few Villians.

Where. I'd love to get one that cheap. I just did some looking and found it for 180

For that price I'd go Villian. They are sweet and run 200 bucks

I had my mind set on a medium 6'8" Crucial but am wanting to explore other options. Here are my uses for this. 1/4-1/2 oz Poprs, small jerk minnows, torpedoes etc. Needs to be a casting rod, light weight, shorter handle as its a topwater only, and no longer than 6'8". I'd like to stay in the 150 range if possible. I will more than likely be using 30# braid only if that makes a difference. And lastly if you would, let me know why you use it. Thanks

Sometimes the media sucks for the big game. I want to hear what the guys are thinking, who they are gunning for etc. Not about their personal lives.

Sweet!

Thanks alot. Come payday I'm going to grab a mod pack. I like that Fluke Jig!!
