Reading the other post on the Curado, I thought you Shimano dudes would appreciate this.  Took a picture of the 2008 JDM catalog's new Curado.  Let the drooling begin.  

whew...

Sweeeeeet!

nice  

I sure they havent shown any more than this on details

OMG

Sorry, but the whole catalog is in Japanese.  

Somebody start translating that catalog.  Details are needed  

SHH people are trying to translate

someone on hear gotta translate from japanese to english

who is up to it?? good luck

Here is the other half of the page with all the specs for those that want to try.  Good luck.

They look sweet, but if these are the specs 200J will weigh 290 grams. That is 10.2oz. That wont address one of the main complaints that the Curado is heavy.

Thats gonna look sweet on the legend tourny bass rods!!!!

Looks like a Citica 200D with a blue spool and handle.

It's not heavy, it's just heavier than what everyone else offers.

JDM reels rarely translate to the US market.

not really excited about the color

I was ready to order until I saw the weight.  That is the 200 though.  The 100 weighs cosiderably less.  I hope they make that one too.
