When you say light tackle; do you mean light gigs / weightless lures? or are you looking for a general reel for use on your basic assortments of standard lures 2oz - 1/4oz with a range of application from slow sinkers to topwater?

When did he grow 2"????

Aluminum CORE......:D

Choupique--yes light tackle fishing with 1/4 or 3/8 oz gig head.

All you need for trout.....The History of Curado reels.....I have everyone of these....

If you are going with the new ChronarchD All Star I would say the best option is the CH100D7. 7:1 gear ratios are great for anything but fulltime crankbaits and twitch baits, and make walking a topwater quite easy. And like Capt. Ryan states it’s an aluminum Core! (You are only giving up around 1.5oz in weight between the two) Your other option is the CH100D5 in 5:1 but that seems to be more of a niche reel for deep cranks and large swimbaits.

If you are like me and look for casting distance first and foremost out of my reels when thinking of quality trout. You can also add upgraded spool bearings to almost any reel to get little extra distance out of them. Most Shimanos come standard with “ABEC 3” ARB bearings and you can upgrade to ABEC 7s and get more distance out of your reels with the upgrade.

Alright if you want a Curado 200J and 300J....(right handed) reel.... the price will be around $320.....Will take 2-3 weeks.....If you really want one please pm me....

What's the big difference between the 300e and 300j aside from the huge $ difference?

yeah please explain wat the difference is..id really like one..

looks like a japanese curado d to me.....

Does anyone have the Curado 300E7. I believe it has a little lower gear ratio than the Curado 200E7 plus it holds more string and cost more!
