I’d be another voter for a 5.xx ratio k. An option is buying a jdm bantam with the “pg” gear. Probably the route I’ll take.

That is very impressive. Was it difficult to acquire the parts? Expensive?

Curado 71 kinda

I love the bantam. To date it’s the smoothest reel I’ve owned. The size feels great. If they’d make a 6oz magnesium version (or a mag curado 71) it would likely be the only model of reel I’d need.

Been quiet in here. What's everyone's thoughts of the Curado DC now that it has been out for a bit? It’s a fun reel to fish. It’s not the end all idiot proof reel it gets made out to be sometimes but with a little tuning on the spool tension knob it becomes really user friendly. It really does skip...

Hmmm that’s a shame considering how useful it could be. Maybe the TT guys can put this in their reviews?

I appreciate your time and you trying regardless.

I would appreciate that

With the tons of online buying now it would definitely help customers make a good comparison between reels. For example the Chronarch vs Metanium. I have a Chronarch mgl and would like to make a guesstimation on how a Metanium would feel in comparison. I don’t know, it just seems like a helpful bit ...

Primarily low profile baitcasting reels

Very cool. I saw the promo video for it this weekend which is one of the best I’ve seen.

Sweet goodness.....


This is one time I’m bummed about using lefty reels. Waiting for a 150 would be bad enough but the 151 in September is going to try my patience. I haven’t been this pumped over a reel in years.

... and thought well shoot we might as well rub it in.

The current Scoprion DC is a 200 size reel with a modified 100 size spool. The Curado DC is a 200 size reel with a 150 spool. The K body is much smaller when compared to the Curado I body (Which the Scoprion DC is using). While the DC system is more simple in design, the braking curves were program...

Those are good reasons. Hopefully good enough to hold off till September.
