Nice looking collection of Shimano's. Please tell me, if you were forced to sell one, and both reels were in perfect condition and assuming they are used for the same purpose, are you selling the Curado 200E or the new Curado?

The handles are all on the wrong side.

It was already fixed in an above post...   http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/40660-show-off-your-stuff/page-114#entry1663995

I usually always include a photo of a new reel with a fish...............but unfortunately there is not much catching going on here right now. Water is still soft, but surface water temps have been around 41-43 for the last couple weeks and catching is poor. I've had it on the water for about 90 minutes over the last couple days. SOLID reel - it feels like you are holding a solid block of aluminum. Glass-smooth on the retrieve.  A nifty reel indeed.

 

It should work, reel in fish.........................as soon as I can find some fish............................

 

OK - took a couple days but the Ryoga 1016H has scored...

 

NOW, I can give the reel the highest rating - seems to work, reels in fish...................

 

I have handled the new Curado at DSG. I do like the way it palms better than the 1500. If I can scrounge up enough money before the end of December, I might get the 6.3:1 from Japan Tackle while it's on sale.

Get it John, get it, get it, get it.

Get it John, get it, get it, get it.

It will either be the new Scorpion or another XT1000.

You should buy my xt100 so I can get the new Scorpion.

My meager shimano collection...the Calcutta was my first

 

I have the Calcutta 251 as well.  Like someone stated, it might last forever.  Solid as a tank and smooth.

i ordered the Scorpion 200 today. It's primarily going to be used for inshore so I went with the added line capacity.

You gotta post pics when you get it...............................................preferably with a fish next to it !

The Curado I is a great reel. I have three of them.

Which was the latest - the PX-R?

 

BTW - that photo is missing three VERY important things:  1) line, 2) rods, and 3) fish..............................................

The PX-R is indeed the latest, and my line is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. As for the fish, they're coming! Here are the rods:

My name is Brian and I too have an addiction like all of you! I'm also new to the forum. Here's my finally downsized bass collection of reels. No need to name the reels, everyone probably knows what each are. I will say I'm a hardcore shimano and daiwa fan but my quantums get the most love from me. Tour mg is my new favorite! Also for anyone who hasn't tried out a hammer rod, do yourself a favor and get one. Lighter and more sensitive than my glx rods. These will be replacing all my rods soon.

Downsized huh!

Neat stuff. Lots of nice gear - check.  Line on (most of the reels) - check. Some round reels included - check.  BUT - labels and plastic wrap on the rod grips - BAD Brian, BAD.  Peel off the labels, remove the plastic wrap, mount the reels, and get everything slimed up pronto!    

It's winter here and the reels are going up so I figured I'd upload some pics!

Not quite as impressive as some, but not quite finished yet!  There are some Lew's, Quantum, Daiwa, Shimano, and Abu all in the mix, but the Lew's are by far my favorite.

Nice stuff you got there

Has the ice melted yet??? Buying some blanks to start making custom rods for each of these probably later this week.

 

 

What blanks do you have in mind? Moving baits or bottom contact stuff?

Nice additions by the way!

Bottom contact, jigs and t-rigs for the Zillion, finesse jigs for the Vanquish. Been looking at NFC IM blanks, but still really eyeballing a K2 for the Vanquish.
