got a link to that thread, I need a good drooling

You would do more than drool.....

Swapped the handle on the Curado I again, and used Core50 knobs. Shaved the weight down to 7.2 oz.

Looks outstanding! A Curado I and another order to Hedgehog Studios is in the cards at some point. I dig the simplistic color design of the new Curado and aggressive styling contours!

Its the 90mm hedgehog carbon handle. Fits over the stock dragstar perfectly and the angled bends in the handle fit the Curado really well.  I have the finishing touches coming in from hedgehog studios as we speak.

 

 

 

stupid thing wont let me upload right, anyway cant wait for froggin. got my 8 gear tatula today, paired with a 7'3 ***. the tatula spoke to me and said it is ok to have 2x frog/bronzeye shad setups. go buy the 7'1 tatula rod and revo premier for your T-rigging. I will obey

 

Ah! The bluegill Iobee!  One of my favorites!

Keep at it man.  You'll break your PB with that bait alone!  

 

Anyways, I just picked up a Ci4 yesterday.  When I get a rod to pair with the reel, I'll post a pic...... I don't have anything that I deem worthy of this thread! LOL

That's an awesome Curado I!! I actually have a spare 90mm carbon handle from hedgehog that I ended up not using but unfortunately I have no new reel to put it on right now. I would consider the idea of getting one of those new *** concepts reels but they don't have any lefties yet.

You won't regret it, from customer service, quality and even the packaging was A+ !!! I plan on getting my Shimano Chronarch 200E6 done in blue including the star drag and cast control knob.

hybrid bearings use ceramic balls in place of steel ones, they are constructed with steel inner and outer rings vs ceramic where everything is ceramic.
