it's no secret that the new G series curados, citicas, caenens and caius are being made in malaysia and are of lower quality in labor, materials and QC. the price reflects that on most of those reels.
the old japanese made curado e's are still available online for around $135. the "new" chronarch e's, which is the same reel as the old curado, is still made in japan. i know people hate change, but it is what it is, gotta roll with it. :/
