I went to my local tackle shop today and was talking to them about the new reels. They were getting them in in two weeks. They also told me that the new curados didn't come in the 6:1 only the 7:1 and 5:1. Has anyone else heard this? Is it true? The 6:1 was the ones I normaly buy.

200E7 - 7.0:1 ratio

200E5 - 5.01:1 ratio

yep, that's right...if you want a 6 gear ratio you will have to get a citica

or a chronarch

or a chronarch

Or a calais

According to Tackle Tour they will have the 6:2:1 ratio on the 300E's.  Check it out...

Yup only on the 300E and the 301E series 6.2:1 at a heavy 10.5 oz weight....

Were the Citica 200E and 201E series 6.2:1 at a more reasonable 7.8 oz weight..

Tight Lines!

The new reels are on shimano's web site.

I pre-ordered my curado friday   ;D  I decided to get the 7 rather than the 5. It seems the 5 is just to slow.

There's a possibility that a 6.2:1 gear set may be fitted inside one or both of the new Curado 200Es. Once the reels have been available to industry insiders for a while and they have time to tinker with them we should know. Cross your fingers.

Looks like the revamped their Middle Line of Spinning reals too from the symetre on down to the sedona.

The new reels are on shimano's web site.

Just checked the site only D series reels there bud, can you provide a link.

I'm on that site almost daily and haven't seen the reels yet. Shimano take for ever to upgrade the site after ICAST, and the new releases usually don't get to the site until they are actually stocked in retailers...

Tight Lines!!!!
