I ran across a new old stock Curado 200 g is it still worth paying it's retail price for this reel?

I personally wouldn't. And that's coming from one of the few that seems to like this reel. I nailed two for half price a couple of years ago. I think they are good reels, they cast well and will probably last. but I'd buy a citica I before I went backwards to a Curado g.  I like the I series much better....just an opinion. 

 

But it I really depends on you and what you like. 

No. I bought a few new ones when they were current models for $95 a piece. Current models are way better, I'd go that route. 

No

Absolutely no. Improvements are made. Give a newer model a chance before you pay full price for an older reel. Even if it is unused.

I agree with everybody else. I have 1 Curado G. It's ok, but the newer I series Curado is much nicer. I have 2 of them. 

 

Heck, I like my older E series curados better than my G series. 

No and Im also one of the ones who didn't have an issue with the G.  The I series is just better.

I don't pay full retail for much of anything. The G wasn't the most refined version but still a good solid reel. Some sellers are funny. There was a citica D in a case at a Walmart for years and every time I tried to get it all they'd do 10% off msrp, as much as the current model. Hold out or look for good second hand ones.
