Curado E?

[weedeater]

Are these reels realy worth the money or should I say worth $140 or is there a better reel in the $125-$175 range, I see they are saltwater approved how do they hold up

[Hopedale Hustler]

most deff worth it...best all around reel out. IMO

[LPfishnTIM]

there isn't any other reel on the market that last as long, cast as far, you can find parts for for the price of the curado. my buddy has several and cleans them once a year and his are 15+ years old.

Academy may have a good price, but watch out. I went yesterday, noticed a couple of their h20 express rods had some quality issues. 1 of their 7ft rods curved noticably to the right on the last two eyelets. Brought it to the attention of a couple store workers, and they agreed with me. Talked with the manager behind the counter, told him I'd give him fifteen for the rod. He said "No, we're just gonna wait for someone to buy it." I said "You are going to knowingly sell a product that is damaged?" And he said "Yep." I had a few choice words with him.

As experienced fisherman, we know to double/triple check our equipment before purchase. Makes me feel bad for the pilgrim who has a couple bucks and wants to learn to fish, but they don't know to check their gear. Don't buy rods there even if its a good deal. They don't care about the customer. Go to The Tackle box in sulphur or LCT. OB is good people at the tackle box.

140-180 depends which one you want, but with the warranty if it breaks your not paying anything for a new rod, other warranties your buying a rod twice when 1 breaks.

I saw today"s academy Sale paper in today's paper and laughed. Sorry to say but L.C. store need's not even be included in the store chain. I 'll be very surprise if they had5 curado's @ today's opening and believe me half of them were probably return's. Drive 95 to 150miles of L.C. and see what real Academy Stores have to offer.
