As some of you may have heard rumor has it a new Curado E will be debuted at Icast.

THANKS HAYDEN!

Right hand retrieve = no good for me.

We need some love for LH reels.

I was thinking that black and white color scheme might look pretty seated on a Veritas. hmm

Keep dreaming...

I think it's a Curado/Chronarch mix, hopefully around the $200 range.

One sexy reel. We'll have to get a few buddy.

Anyone have a link to the preview? Or is the pic all that has been released?

There wasn't a preview. Dave Mercer posted that picture on his Facts of Fishing facebook page. He mentioned how nice it was to fish with the 2012 Shimano lineup.

That reel is ugly! However, as one who usually chooses function over form, I might have to add it to the arsenal. I would be willing to guess that the final paint job will be different because that thing is ugly! Did I already say that?

watchu talking about!! That 2 tone paintjob is sick!

I didn't think it was possible to make it less attractive than the Hunter Green color.

haha....some how they succeeded.

I wonder if that is a new Cumulus he is using too.

All over one pic? Cool aid drinkers....

Yeah,not so sure about that black and white color...I'll have to see it in person before I really judge it.If it works anything like the previous curados or better it's gonna be a good reel regardless.

Honestly I want to start seeing reels that have "bait colors"......I'd buy a june bug or Watermeolon colored reel in a heartbeat...LOL

well since hunter green is my favorite color... I just say.. WINNING... the new stuff if its black and white is not to my taste...

From another forum:

The reel in the picture is the new Chronarch according to a very reliable source who actually got to test it out and fish it. They told me there are going to be price reductions in the Chronarch and Curado series. Each reel is going to come in 5:1, 6:1, and 7:1 models, both will be avalible in the 50 size too.

d**n.

Shimano is doin' GOOD.

Makes sense ,it needed a update.Looks like septon grips just like the curado.

I'm liking the idea of a Chronarch 50e7 or whatever they will call it. Maybe the F or G series.

I really want a sneak peak of the Curado, too. But there's only so much a guy can ask for. I think they will re-do the Compre and Crucial line as well as introducing new NRX's and Cumulus rods.

I also think the new Chronarchs will fill the gap between the $180 Curado and the $300 Chronarch price wise.

Looking forward to the clearance sales on the current version.

Well, I guess I am holding off getting that 200e7 then!
