Question Curado E?

Are these reels realy worth the money or should I say worth $140 or is there a better reel in the $125-$175 range, I see they are saltwater approved how do they hold up

there isn't any other reel on the market that last as long, cast as far, you can find parts for for the price of the curado. my buddy has several and cleans them once a year and his are 15+ years old.

140-180 depends which one you want, but with the warranty if it breaks your not paying anything for a new rod, other warranties your buying a rod twice when 1 breaks.

I saw today"s academy Sale paper in today's paper and laughed. Sorry to say but L.C. store need's not even be included in the store chain. I 'll be very surprise if they had5 curado's @ today's opening and believe me half of them were probably return's. Drive 95 to 150miles of L.C. and see what real Academy Stores have to offer.
