Just nabbed 2 of these off of BPS.com. Had a $20 promo code I applied to them and stuck them on 6 pay. I really hope they are as good as everyone on here is saying. Coming from a Chronarch E they have some big shoes to fill.

You won't be disappointed!

Enjoy!! They are nice reels. 

You're gonna love em. The Curado i is one fantastic reel.

Hootie

The Chronarch Es have been great to me over the past year and half with 0 issues, so hopefully these are tanks as well. Pairing these up with my Crucials.

Nice reels.... So after you get them spooled up, let us know then how you like them compared to the E ... I think you will really enjoy them.. I have!

Sadly they won't be here until next week, then I have to work all weekend. It will be 2 weeks before I can fish them! I'm gonna go nuts. And why in THE hell didn't Shimano release this reel in a 5:5:1 lefty? I don't mind cranking with a 6:3:1, but toss 6XDs all day and it wears you out if it's not geared for cranking.

I just picked one up a couple weeks ago. I like my 200g6 a lot and I was skeptical of the new adjustment dial, but it works well and let me dial in my lures to avoid backlashes.

2 weeks whoa!!! As far as the way they have been released and why? Idk... But I know the frustration... But good luck and enjoy...

Thanks. They are gonna get the tick fondled out of them when I get them though lol. 

welcome and u will love it. im considering replacing all my other reels with this reel

^{No need to wait 2 weeks, just cast around in your yard.}

Oh I'm planning on it. Might take it to work and cast around out back during lunch lol.

You'll love it I want two more I already got two.

BPS is the way to go.  People that put their order in with TW are just now getting them.  I know of one that put the order in when they offered the pre-order back in February.  

 

I purchased mine on the 6 pay option as well and received mine 3 weeks later.  You'll love the reel.  Also give one of the Ci4's a shot.  You'll love that beauty as well!
