So I recently purchased 2 of the TCS rods, the 691MH and the 701H.  I paired them both with curado K's, and I have to say that I am very impressed.  The rods are very light, balanced, and they look sweet.  I am wondering about the TCS reels.  Do anyone have any comments on them? Do they compare to the curado?

I sold all my E and I series Curados and now own several Okuma reels, both the regular Helios and the Helios TCS, as well as a few others. I really like them and I don't feel like I'm paying extra for a name like I did with Shimano. You can find them for way less than retail price (the regular Helios even cheaper), which is just another bonus. I've got one of their new Helios SX reels that are super nice too that they just came out with this year. Quite a bit more expensive, but man is it sweet!
