I guess this has been in someone's closet for 15 years.  It is one good lookin' reel...I wish the Curado E used those colors...

Very very tempting.... :-[

I got a couple of the old green bantam curados how does this real compare?

The reels are close.....

No Assist Stopper, Drag Pads are a different composite, if I remember right 2 of the bearings in the reels were actually bushings. No easy brake access. The B series is a better reel IMPO..

I'm skeptical about that listing on $%#@%% there wouldn't be a 100a schematic in a 200A box, the 100A is the smaller of the 2 reels...9.2oz - 8.9oz

I think that red color was produced for a BPS line...

Man that is nice!

I think the Curado A series were graphite framed reels, and the reason I didn't bid on it.
