Brakes can only be set in 4 intervals as opposed to individually for the Curado, and the drag is either all or nothing.
If it passes the SW test then I will be buying a lot more.
Another reel line to check out are the Lew's. I never even looked at them before, but they make an awesome baitcaster. Several guys at the fishing show were touting them and claimed they have used them in the salt for over a year with no problems.

Avoid the Smoke. Was great while it lasted - for two trips before freezing a bearing. Exchanged it for the Lew's last night. We'll see...
