Have u noticed this? Or see any difference than a 200e7's casting ability

Ask bayouchub how free the spool is on a Curado BSF that I have. I ain't never seen a reel free spool like that...and that's with no line. But, in reality....it really doesn't mean a whole lot as far as the casting distance of the reel.


BTW, that was a good review of those reels and I agree with all of it.
