Shimano 2017 Icast rumor mill ...

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

I see right where it states "A" side plate material real faint ... MSRP of $179.99

I have a feeling these specs are for the NEW Curado. Which would explain the 200 size designation.

Then where it states Chronarch G ( Salt Water Series ) ... this could be the header for the info that should have followed for its specs.

From the pics I've seen the new Ch. G seems to be closer to a 150 size reel.

Wont be long now and we will soon know " the rest of the story " ! 3 weeks and counting !
That is a good catch! It seems to make sense and the pricing would be inline for the Curado.

Maybe thats just the retailer cost?

You guys are gonna be pretty pleased with the new spinning reel I've been made aware of. Pretty badass in theory. We'll have to see the execution.

Can I report this post for getting me too worked up? Just joking, we are talking Shimano right? And is this a freshwater or like big saltwater equipment? I can't wait till July...

It's not a budget reel, no. But even without knowing price, I will say that this reel is definitely in the wheelhouse for a large demographic on this site 8-)

I cannot believe more info hasn't leaked... seems tighter than last year's, maybe just more surprises this year.

I get great deals without having to be in the fan club now days !

Although I use to be a member. Then one day I woke up and realized I had drank too much of the cool aid !

What ever happened to the old TT pre iCast crew ? I sometimes think all the hype, speculation, and anticipation swirling around pre show helped to build attention to the new products. Yall no fun ! :roll: :lol:

Wait ! ...

Ahhhh ... its this thread ya'll afraid of ! ?
