only a month and a half old?? send it back to shimano for warranty.. you do have a receipt, right?

[Patt]

Yea sucks shimano was the **** in my book hopefully just a little defect that they'll happily fix without a nasty email

the new g series feels like if you take a e series and fill the brake system full of sand then wash it with salt water let it sit for 24 hrs then try and use is terrible always been a shimano fan but the new curado and citca g suck so before you buy look on reel seat if it says made in malaysia dont buy it if it says japan thats the one

Thanks for the thread - just saved me $200 as I was about to buy one for my new Laguna rod... Think I will stick with Lew's...

This is what I got a while back from my Shimano guy

Just a heads up, before you ask. I will not carry the Curado G series at all. My client’s that I stock are very disappointed in the G series. I will not distribute this reel series as for now. I will not get any more E Series 200E7 so get them now while I have a good stock ( 138 e7s in stock

Lew's tournament speed spool is da bomb! Smoother,lighter,and cast farther than a E7. I just bought 3 of em,no mo shimano for me!

I would never say "I told ya so", but, I told ya so.

[PUREBAY2200]

So what's the deal with the lews??
What's the pricing??
Do they make a 50 series size?

the core 50mg....

They have 4 or 5 different models ranging from 80-280 bucks. IMO the tournament speed spool is the way to go. Cost 180 bucks and weighs 6.7 oz,11 shielded SS bearings and dual braking system. They are a tad bit smaller than a curado E7.

I got 5 of the curado 50's & 2 core 50's.
Don't really need another reel at this time.

Just wondering .

Thanks montauk.
I'll Chk em out.

Ron "Reelman" Ardoin buy old Curado's in lots off of Ebay and restores them.
If you are looking for the past 2 Curado series reels, I'd give him a call.
He has a buttload of the old light green Curado's. Rebuilt by him.

I really like em so far,just gotta put em to the test in SW to see how they hold up.

[PUREBAY2200]

Good to hear positive reviews from y'all.
