I was told I would have to call G Loomis customer service and they would have me mail the wild card to them. They also want credit card info for when they send the rod, then u mail the broken rod back in the tube that they sent the new rod in. They are supposed to have a return label for u to put on...

The E series Curado and the I series have graphite side plates. I own both. The frame is aluminum. Tackle Tour did a review on both where they talk about it.

Thanks for you guys input. Its hard to find reviews on this reel. I do plan to trick this reel out as much as I can. I want to put ceramic bearings by Boca Bearings and Carbontex carbon fiber drag system. I love my crankbait fishing. I have noticed a lot of pros use green curados when I watch bassma...

My question is how good is the Shimano Bantam Curado 200B5? I bought one unused for $125.00, it is about 19 years old. I am just wondering how good this reel. I have Curado E5s and Curado 200IPGs. Just wondering about the Curados of the past.

I have four E5s I bought new and unused last month on Ebay. I had three IPGs, I got rid of two of them. I put ceramic bearings and carbontex drag in two of the four E5s. I put them up head to head, no contest the Es won. My IPGs also have ceramic bearings and carbonfiber drag. They are both smooth a...

I live in Akron, OH man. Trying to see if anyone had tried these cranks yet.

Does anyone use Megabass Z Crank X? Whats a good color to use?

What difference does it make where the reels are made? Cheap southeast asian labor equals bad reel quality and cheaper quality products. I have seen the quality of shimano reels drop of the years. It pays to study what u use. If the prices drop so does the quality. Curado and Chronarch casting reel...

I just wanted to know which shimano spinning reels are made in Malaysia and the ones that will be made there.

Stella FD hands down wins that competition.

3.4oz. is right. I have one of those.

I have the 802 spinning, 803 spinning, and 822 DSR spinning. The 802 is the best rod I have ever owned in my opinion. I would like to have a couple more.

Give me NRX Blue or give me death!!! I love my NRX spinning rods, I have three of them and two are paired with shimano stella reels. They are the best rods I have ever owned. I love the look and performance of them.

Yeah I am buying it!!! I love my Gloomis NRX Rods!!! All of mine are spinning rods and i have had no problems with any of the three that i have. The casting rods do have a lot of issues i will admit that. The spinning rods didnt have any issues besides the thread around the eyes of the rods. some of...

the st. croix legend extreme is an awesome rod, i have owned two of them. but the Gloomis NRX is alot more sensitive and i also have owned two of those too. i have 802s and 803s. the sensitivity of the nrx cant be beat, i doubled my bass catch totals from last year just because i switched from legen...
