My hubby and best fishing partner,( Fishingcowboy) surprised me with an early anniversary gift just now. He'd ordered a Shimano Curado 200G7. I had trouble getting distance with my casts, especially on clear lakes and with weightless soft plastics like a fluke. One of our fishing friends had his rods set up with Curados andI was allowed to try one out.With just a flick of my wrists, I had the fluke thrown 3X the normal distance with my gear. I guess my hubby heard my "...oooooooooo I want one........". But I knew I couldn't swing $$ yet for me. It came today and he was standing there with a big grin and the box behind him. I thought he'd ordered it for him. What a great surprise and gift.

I get to try it tomorrow! Happy dance!!

Very nice! My buddy has one of the G6's and it casts very nice.

Excellent gift! I'd rather give fishing gear to my wife than jewelry

Happy Anniversary! Congrat's on the new reel also.

Nice!

Thank you all. I can hardly wait to use it this afternoon. I will get way more use out of this than any jewelry! What a great non-traditional anniversary gift.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!

Guess you aren't telling how many years.

Very nice gift indeed. My wife would much rather have the jewelry. She won't fish.

I'm sure you will enjoy it. My last Shimano was a Curado 51E. Great little reel. My last reel was a Lews Tournament Pro. Maybe you should seek out a friend with one you can try. Can't have too many reels, ya know!

Better than diamonds,Shimano.

LMG, you should work for SHIMANO. I couldn't think of anyone more enthusiastic to promote their products. Besides, could you imagine what it would be like to have access to all that great stuff for free?

Have a great day guy.

P.S. I got to fish Saturday with my new Chronarchs and I love em.

I wish I could work for them. Imagine the possibilities?. Those Chronarchs are great. I got to finally use mine at the last tourney I fished. They are very nice and smooth. Great with the custom handle I have on it. (If inteested I will PM you the site for them. Mae by a friend of mine, who is also on this site) Be easy brother, nice to see you enjoying the finer things in life, LOL.
