santa dropped off 3 curados for x-mas.  2 e7's and an e5.  I'm impressed. while not quite as smooth as my calcuttas, probably because they are brand new, they feel very solid for such a small reel.  this is the most effortless reel I've ever casted. light lures heavy lures it doesn't matter.  and the torque on the e5... amazing on dd22's. you have to literally try to backlash it and even if you do, its not much at all.   I would highly recomend this reel to anyone considering it.

congrats on the new toys. enjoy them!

SWEET!

What rods do you plan on pairing up those reels with?

You will be very very happy with them.

2 kistler argons on the e7's and an allstar crankin series on the e5.  but i'll have to admit that that e5 is almost too low geared for me.  thinkin about seeing if the citica gears will go in it

Well, barron. I got some new thermals that... oh. Louisiana, huh? Nevermind.

I did by myself a spool of Gudebrod, though.

rob it gets plenty cold down here.  I'm sure not like mt. home though.  that place is beautiful btw

I have an e7 on my Argon top  water rod love that set up. If you go that way believe me you will not be sorry. Good luck with your new toys sounds like the bait monkey bite you hard

what kind of action and tip does that rod have? looking for a broader range of use. is it fast enough to provide good hook sets for plastics?
