I happen to look at Cabelas bargain cave and they had the Curado 300/301E for $159.99. But wait there's more...they had a code for free shipping. And if I act now, no sales tax.

 

I'm quite happy with that deal, been wanting a Curado 301E for the longest but just out of my reach. I know the new Shimano Tranx 300/301 are out now. That is just way too much reel for my intentions and at $280, not going to go there.

 

I mentioned this to a buddy and he picked up one also. Glad we both did, the following day the Curado 300/301E went up to $179.99 and the free shipping is gone.

Look what done showed up a few minutes ago! I wasn't expecting this till this coming Monday. How happy Day!

 

I didn't know UPS delivered Saturday.  I heard the door bell and 1st thought, someone going door to door selling solar panesl for houses and wanting to chat with me about non fishing things...I was wrong. A good wrong.

Is this a good reel for a newbe on BC and is it good with light lures?

Looks like I may have gotten hooked on BCs

For swim baits and bigger baits, like Alabama rigs...yes.
