New reel(e5 or e7)?
 

Looking at buying a new curado. Should I go with the e5 or e7? Going to put it on my topwater trout rod.

Both of 'em's junk. Get a Calais.

I would think the 5.8 to 1 is what you want for top water. It will keep you from retrieving it to fast. As for the curado it is also made by shimano just like the calais. I don't own the a curado but i have 3 chronarch and a calais and my nephew has a curado and they all cast like a dream. There is not a lot of difference between the reels.

E7 in summer E5 in winter

E7 all day!!!!

citica. cheaper, and smooth.

I can get you the Curado for $155 brand new!!! Let me know if your interested...

go with a chronarch D

There is no way in hell any Curado is on par with a Chronarch and, especially, a Calais. If there's no difference in the reels.....why would someone buy a Chronarch or Calais and pay 2-3 times the money? :confused:

I can get one a whole lot cheaper than that.

all the more reason to buy citica. 119 and is one smooth casting sun of a gun

thanks for the input
 

I have an old curado and love it. So I just decided to buy another curado.

Salty, I didn't realize you were a fishermen. WOW!

curdo
 

i have 2 new curado e7.i absolutly love them.I used abbu in the past and now all i use is my curado's.smooth and cast a long way.i also like the breaking system on the curado's.try one and you will be hooked.:D

Go get a Diawa coastal, let me know how you like it............I need a review before I buy one.......

[SIZE=7]JUNK!!!:cry:[/SIZE]

I already have two
 

I have no complaints with the two i've had. Had them for over two years and they cast well and have a good drag.

both
 

i use the 5 and 7 same a laangler 5 winter 7 summer but i also just bought a citica and i like it as well it isnt as nice as the curado but for the price it in good . i prob. will not buy another 5 though but would like 2 more 7,s considering 1 of mine is at the bottom of ponchatrain!!!!

"W" I may not agree with alot of what you say but I do with with your statement about the "Diawa Coastal Reels" I think they are worse than JUNK----TRASH

Why?
 

I tend to agree and disagree with many things stated here also. This is a site to share information and opinions I guess. Please explain why you do or don't like them. Saying that the diawa reels are junk with no explanations will not give you a lot of credibility. So what problems have you experienced with them?

One problem I have with the diawa is that it is not easy to disasemble for cleaning or adjustment.

I'm with you Fool. I've been using the Citica for years. Love them. especially since they went to the 200E. Can't beat 119 or even 99 when they go on sale.

I use a Zebco 33 "pencil sharpener"...
