Hey guys, I'm looking for a new reel to add to my arsenal in that mid range 6.1:1-6.5:1 area in the $125 to $175 price range. Keeping in mind that I get a 20% employee discount at Gander Mountain. Which reel out of the three listed in the topic would you pick, and if you have any other suggestions please list them too! Thanks for all the help in advance!

I would get a Curado I from e bay around $140 I believe. 

I too would pick up a Curado I. The Citica would definitely be second on the list. After that I'd go with the Daiwa.

Why exactly would you guys pick the Curado over the Citica? What is the difference? I mean obviously the Curado is at a higher price point so there's gotta be something that sets it ahead, but what exactly is it?

This has been discussed before. There aren't too many differences between them, besides ther look. If you can get the Citica at a lower price than the Curado, and you are comfortable with it, by all means go for it! I have never used the new Citica so that's why I recommended the Curado. 

I love my Tatula so far. It has my vote.

curado. can b had for 129

I say go Lews.

Quality wise they're all on par with one another. It comes down to features and preference. If your a diy maintenance person the tatula is the least convenient and the citica is probably the easiest.

Can't go wrong with Lews or shimano. But for me, the tatula is rather heavy. But I fish with Lews reels myself

If you work at Gander Mountain, I would pick up the Curado I.
