Texas Tackle.

I recently got the 4 in 1 box from Lure Lock with the taclogic sticky gel. Holds them in place (yes, I can even shake my box and they won't fall out) but easy to remove when needed and doesn't leave a sticky residue or discolor the lure. https://www.lurelock.com/collections/all/products/large-box?variant=6571746951195

You may be right, 2017 looks like but I believe it was purchased last year.

Throwing a curveball here, I ended up going with a nearly new 2020 Chronarch MGL for $200. Seems like a versatile workhorse and I'm sure it'll get the job done for me and be a big upgrade over my old Curado I :).

Anything I should be worried about concerning this JDM reel? I love the chrome finish, is it a good reel or does it have known problems? I can find some very good looking used Japanese ones.

The Met is actually a JDM model.

Is this another case of Ford vs. Chevy pickups where they'll both do the typical things you buy a pickup for and there's really just subtle mostly aesthetic differences between the two? I already have a Tatula SV 103 and like it, would getting the Curado 70 MGL fill a different niche or be a case of redundancy just with a different logo on the side?

Actually that’s just a random picture I found on the internet and liked ?

That’s my oldest son in my profile pic not the baby ?.

I can get a nearly new Chronarch MGL for about $200, maybe I should go that route.

Okay, 8 years old...it’s been pointed out already...sheez. Back on topic please!

you got me...that's what having a baby and sleep deprivation will do to you...the time just fly's by...lol.

I usually like to go new (or at least newer like within the past 3 years) so even though that Metanium is, well...a Metanium it IS almost 20 years old...even if it is in really good condition. Wouldn't you think the technology has improved in the past 18 years too, giving the Curado MGL a slight edge?

Yes sir!

I'm going to try this... https://www.lurelock.com/collections/all/products/sticky-pad I have some of their tackle boxes with this taclogic stuff in them and it works amazing, holds things in place rock solid and easy to take them out when needed. This pad is able to be cut so just cut to fit around the jigs and problem solved .

As the title suggests, which would you choose if the price were the same ($230)?

Just got this beauty from Mike at @Siebert Outdoors.

S-Waver 200, Storm Arashi Glide, Baitsanity Antidote, 8" Savage Gear pulse tail trout, 8" Megabass Magdraft...maybe down the road an 8" Huddleston.

Just got my new swim bait setup for this season, a Dobyns Fury 806HSB and a Daiwa Tatula 300. Got the rod for $97 shipped from a popular online vendor and the reel for $200 shipped from KTP (extenuating circumstances did get it down to the final price but they were willing to price match a cheaper price online). Can’t wait to do some swim bait fishing!!!

Just wondering if I want the spool capacity and power of the K or the dc tech of the slx. I have a Curado DC and like it but still debating.

If you had to choose between these two reels which would you pick and why? The price difference is only $10 so that makes price a non-factor in the decision. Thanks!

That's a heck of a deal!!! For one, those rods are really hard to come by (usually sold out everywhere) and secondly you're saving $70. Back Bait Monkey, back...lol.

So they aren’t/won’t sell the Shimano reels to you if you call?

Why would they do this?
