Default Curado 200G7

What's everyone's take on this reel? I have 3 E7's and was thinking of adding a new reel to the collection. I've heard bad things, looking for some hands on experience.

No comparison to the e series. The chronarch e series is a curado painted white.

I'll just say that they are NOT an E series reel. They don't look like em and they don't cast like the E series. If you are happy with your E series reels, get the Chronarch E7, it's the same reel as your Curado's, just painted white.

I will say that a bearing upgrade helps the G series reels a lot but by the time you pay for the upgrade, it's the same price as the Chronarch.

Hell, I upgrade bearings in my e series. So even an upgrade on the g would be disappointing.
