Compared to a Revo your right........Revo is not in the same league as Shimano over all and you can not compare a Revo to a Core....Sorry bro its not even a argument

Have you personally used a revo for a extended period of time? Don't get me wrong shimano is a great product. But,I have 2 revo's and they are smoother than a curado,no sw problems yet.

No I have never used one...but I know personally a guide service who fishes 3-5 boats daily who was given some Revos free to fish with... They sent the reels back with in one month...
#1 Not close to a Shimano
#2 out of 15 reels 7 needed cleaning after 2 weeks of use
#3 Bearing went bad in some of the reels
#4 sticking gearing

All I needed to know about Revo reels

for the price W buys shimanos for I wouldn't bother buying anything else either, but I seriously doubt that he has ever used a revo premier!

All I needed to know about Revo reels
I've had this crap happen to all my reels other than my 2 revos and my other ambassadeurs and the one curado that I had. and I've owned quantums, fluegers, daiwas, browning, Bass pro reels and about any other cheep reel out there. Bass Pro has taken plenty reels back after three weekends or less of hard fishing. I just always added more money and got something better.

Your right but why not spend the money once and get a good reel and save on the repairs and down time

I use 3 Core 50MG...............I have 6 Cores and 2 Curado but only use 3...I will say that the Core needs some care than the Curado which I used for 5 or 6 years before the Core...

I never had any problems with the Curado .......It is by far the leading inshore saltwater fishing reel hand down....and you dont have to take my word for it....Just ask any one who fishes over 100 days a year or any reel repair shop..

You can learn a lot by taking to guys who repair reels ...and out of the 4 I have used over the past 10 years...They will all tell you like me.....Shimano Curado is the Best inshore saltwater reel hands not nothing even close

Throw some orange seal ceramics in a curado and nothing else can touch it.
