Re: Curado D vs Curado E vs Curado G

Tackle tour needs to do a shoot out with the curados Shootouts between discontinued reels are pointless. If you actually read the reviews, we usually discuss the older model versus the newer one at the time of each review. I do read the reviews from time to time but the review I'm interested in is ...

Re: Surf fishing

Hehe I agreed with you in most situations I don't think a longer rod is necessary to cast farther but I just like the idea of a longer rod. just feels good to me.

Tescata 8ml etc..

Are they more like a teramar or a Trevala rod?
