I live an hour away from a Bass Pro but I will be in town on the 15th and think its probably too good of a deal a Curado for 100.  Dont have a Curado, but my Cousin loves his, however I think its the model before this.  How nice is the G?  Is it a good enough price to think about getting a 2nd? Thanks yall.

They have taken a lot of flake by the nay sayers, but at the same time you will find anglers who use them and say they are a pretty good reel.  Your call I guess.

I like my 200g's especially for a 100 the biggest complaint I see is because they have a graphite side plate and the drag star isn't aluminum. But this doesn't effect me. I've never broken a side plate or a drag star before.......

I have one and I like it a lot.  I can't compare it to the E, as I've never held one.  I know many people love the E, and lament the changes to the G.  But, tor $100, I think its a great buy. 

Seems to me the biggest complaint has been, not so much the reels, but the price. Notice, now that they can be had for $100.00 even some of the critics are jumping on them. And as Martha Stewart says, "that's a good thing".

For $100 it's a super duper deal!  I own Gs, Es, and a B.  All great! I'd get 2 if you can.

There is nothing "wrong" with the G series Curado. The controversy stems from the marketing decision to keep the Curado label at a <$200 price point. $100 is 33% discount off msrp. It's a lot of reel for the clearance price. Another good value is the BPS PQ at $70 on sale

I've been told that 99.99 is actually below cost. Well maybe not for a huge chain like bass pro.
