I'd like to see them too. I didn't think that rust could form underwater.

I was reading a post on a shimano site that said they was going to stop making the e series because of corrosion problems with them

Ducky, I'm no chemist but I disagree. If the object is a high-grade stainless steel...then maybe not. If it's not a high-grade stainless then the water must be free of dissolved oxygen. Drop a galvanized nail in a metal buck filled with water. The nail and the bucket bottom will rust..."underwater". |

Salty; corrosion=rust=corrosion all the same thing. Got a good friend that works for an oilfield loggin company and he gave me some badA** nickle monel cable. they use it H2S wells i think. but it dont rust at all in salt water. if you can find some its good stuff. I've had it on my anchor for @3yrs and the only problem i've had was the "stainless" clamps corroded /rusted off. SK

I never said Shimano made "junk reels". But, those Curados are not as bullet-proof as you may think. I've seen rust on several of 'em....all in the same place...on the pawl. Now, for the $$$ I do think it's the best buy in a casting reel. They changed the materials to make these lighter than the older models and, obviously, these materials are not as good. My bro-in-law works for 'em and he says the Curado E-Series is an "economy" reel. Now, if only they were as tough as "economy" ribeyes.

W, if someone were to give you a brand new 2009 Chronarch or Calais, would you use it or would you just deny yourself the opportunity to fish with the absolute best baitcasters that money can buy?

W, you didn't answer my question. Would you stubbornly not use the Calais because you're afraid of how much more reel it actually is?

You buy me one and I will use it.....Curados are the best light tackle reels!!!! Have you heard of anyone complaining about these reels yet???? I have sold over 400 this year and not one person has said anything bad about them!!!! So why spend more money?

Well, with you being the self-proclaimed "best fisherman on Big Lake", I just thought you would use nothing but the best. I'll use a Calais with Power Pro on a 7 1/2' Cenderi and cast over my shoulder farther than you can cast forward with a Curado. Same bait. BTW, a Curado is not the "best light tackle reels". If that were true, a Calais wouldn't have twice as many bearings and cost 2 1/2 times as much. |

Lets look at Facts from fisherman......I fish 99xs more than you a year and cast half million times!!!! I also talk with many guys who are on the water 100 plus days a year....I'm not talking any series just reel names here This is what I heard over the past 5 years Calcutta... Dont last or hold up in salty conditions Core.....Dont waist the money if your fishing saltwater ...Needs lots of cleaning Citica (sp)....Junk in Saltwater....Monster in Fresh Cruado...Stands alone!!! all purpose reel hold up great in saltwater coditions!!!

I was out fishing with someone last month that had a fairly new looking Calais. I tried it for several cast......it cast about the same as my 6 year old 200BSF curado but not nearly as smooth reeling as my reel.
