Oh my.  I just noticed the font and the all caps "CURADO".  I don't like reels that yell at me.  

I believe the green color was to pay tribute to the classic green curados of days gone by

 

the silver two tone color of the curado 200i was great looking IMO. (I have the PG cranking model, the last north american shimano to have the 5.5:1 gear ratio). I think these ones were released in 2014 if i recall

I guess I’m the odd one out. I love the green

I live in Minnesota.  I don't own anything green unless it's green pumpkin....

To each their own..... I generally try to avoid rods (like Dobyns) that have techniques listed on them.
