I knew they'd closed those out last year, so I knew the price was 49.88 or less.

Rod rang up a penny...

Wow

I'd be in on this thing for sure

Nice collection. I especially like when you can match a casting reel and a spinning reel, steez and ito, just looks so cool. Wish that was possible with Shimano stuff lol.

Nice drag star on that Calcutta...Looks sharp

Nice one. Especially in a lake that is so shallow. That's impressive

Cumara from TW and the Core from a local store (Only had the 1 ) I'm still appreciative to get the deal though, great store and seller.

What did you guys get? What do you think was your best score?

I picked up a few Hudds and some other Tackle.

Best deal I think was a new Shimano Core for $200 and a new Shimano Cumara Drop Shot for $104

Good looking collection. That 10" Mystery is a nice looking bait.

I believe the majority of anglers troll these for Walleye and Pike. Haven't ever really heard of it being used as a cast and retrieve lure or being used to target bass.

No problem to get these parts in red. http://avail.jp/shop/products/sd_sh/index.html Ask Jun from Japan Tackle. I will keep my Avail parts, they will fit nicely on the second Curado i will paint in a few days ;) The handle is from http://www.reel-dreams.de/ , he can make a real custom handle for yo...

That's an awesome combo for sure. Quick question and a touch off topic but does the Sustain come with an extra spool? I was looking at the description and didn't see it listed?

I saw that one, it turned out very nice. In fact that's what got me moving on the idea

I have painted one of my Curados a few days ago. The picture don´t show how the reel will look in a couple of weeks. Avail parts will be replaced by ZPI parts and /or original Aldebaran parts. That's pretty sick looking right there. If I could find the drag star and cap in red that would be ideal f...

I'm looking to get my 201E7 painted flat black. It'll go nicely with the Cumara. That's what I'm thinking as well. Although I think I would go with a gloss black myself...however the flat black is pretty sick looking, especially if I could find some red anodized parts for it :-k Either way I think ...

Tried searching 50e and 51e and only came up with one pic. Was hoping to see more. I figured "curado" might be too broad and bring up tons of unrelated things.
