Well Ive narrowed my choice down to two reels for mainly pitching/flipping. My choices are Shimano Curado 70 ($200) and Lews Team Lews Lite ($240). I'm leaning towards the Curado 70 but my buddy keeps bugging me to go with the Lews. I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated!

I use a 70XG for some of my pitching and have been really happy with it. Not a Lews fan so I don't know anything about the other reel to compare though.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards the Curado 70 because I can get it in an 8 speed and its 40 bucks cheaper. The Lews comes in a 7.5:1 which isn't bad either for pitching. 

Get the Curado, I just got done selling off all my lew's reels for shimano/diawa. You won't regret it, I have a Curado with 50lb braid and it pitches like a dream

What is it you like better about the shimanos over the Lews?

Curado 70.  That is my setup.
