which ratio reel 5:1 or 7:1 do you perfer and why

[Wag]

trying to decide which one to go with

[fishinpox]

i mainly use the 7:1 because i like the option of having the speed. i do have a 5;1 curado i bought for winter fishing its ok but i prefer the 7:1 . the 5:1 is sssssslllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

ill sell ya my 5:1 curado!

[catch.and.fillet]

Wag - I was looking at 'em, too. I'm glad you asked the question. I'm leaning to the 7:1.

[Dink]

Whatcha fishin for?? Low ratio for reds, high ratio for trout............

["W"]

7:1 for Saltwater

[catch.and.fillet]

This one- Curado 200E7. Now which do ya'll prefer: right hand or left hand? I'm leaning to left hand as I cast with my right.....

[Ray]

I have a 5:1 for winter fishing.
That is what I caught my big 'un on Fri. and all my
fish yesterday.

[fishinpox]

7:1 right hand retrieve for me just depends on your prefrence though.

[fishinpox]

the 5:1 will take a long time to retrive on long casts i say go 7 and you can always fish slower if you like you can borrow my 5:1 and try it out on a trip

[Wag]

Yea...I am looking to get a curado leaning toward the 200E7 myself I have a couple of citaca's 100DSV's that are 6.2:1...will be for both fresh and saltwater use.

[Dink]

Best of both worlds??? 6:3 to 1 ratio and its truly a saltwater reel.................here's a link........... http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwacoastalpg2.html

["W"]

I would not use anything but a 7:1 for trout and reds...... 5:1 is mostly a bass fishing speed.....

[Dink]

Oh..........i'm a right handed person, but use left hand retrieve reels. It's easier than swithching hands all day..........JMHO>.........

7.0 to 1....easier to slow down then speed-up if a slower retrieve is needed from my standpoint. For the price, you cannot go wrong with a Curado!

I have boffa dem too....

[Dink]

I still don't know if the Curado is a saltwater reel..............every review I've ever read(besides "W" and ASR) only talks about them bass fishing..........??????.........I have seen the bearings they put in them............not sealed

I have used my 3 curados in saltwater for a little over a year now with no problems. All I do is wipe them down with a wet rag and oil them every few months.My buddy has one of those daiwa inshore reels and he has rust on it.If you read reviews it says there for "light" saltwater use.

POX and Fritz uses them to. Also, take a poll on here I bet atleast 80% of the people on this site that saltwater fish use Curado's. I wipe mine down and oil it every now and then. No problem. I have 3 myself. I would love to have a Chronarch 100D7!!!! Well several to be exact!
