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 own both and would take the Bantam all day over the Curado.

Just received a new Bantam today. This is the most comfortable Shimano I have ever held. The reel is silky smooth. I feel like a total idiot for not buying one when they first came out. I haven't casted it yet but I have a feeling I will be buying more.

Got the reel in yesterday. Amazing! It feels so precise and is already my favorite reel.
