Dare I say the new Curado looks sexy? lol.. I want one even more now
Re: Curado 200i pics next to Ch/Met 100 Platform
I ordered one to put on my small swimbait rod. I have a Ch-101D7 on the rod right now and I'm going to put a Cu-201HG on it for more line capacity. From the photo, it looks like the Ch-101/Met and Cu-I have about the same height and footprint so it shouldn't feel anymore cumbersome. Thanks for the sided by side shots. Now if TW can just get them in and shipped out before the spawn is over!

Nice pictures dude appreciate it.
Also, I saw on another forum that the Curado I is almost the same profile as the Curado 50e's.
Is it really that close ?

Perhaps I am a retro kind of guy, but I much prefer the rounded lines of the old Metanium...

Jeff, I love how the 100D7/ Core 100 platforms palm - how do you like the feel of the new Curado in comparison?
Thanks for pics btw, Eric.

Yall welcome guys ! Wish they were of better quality ...
It palms very well ... I feel like I have a 100/150'ish size reel in hand with a 200 spool. Its different but very comfortable I find. Edges feel well rounded and comfortable. I also like the feel of the front taper of the thumb rest.
Cant wait to put some break in time on it and see how it performs. For its size, weight, and price of $179.00 it feels VERY solid and smooth.
Id say it feels in between a 50 variant and a 200E series platform once on a rod. I know feel/fit is subjective ...Jayce wrote: Also, I saw on another forum that the Curado I is almost the same profile as the Curado 50e's.

Looks great! Solidified my decision on picking up one or a few.
Re: Curado 200i pics next to Ch/Met 100 Platform
Thanks for posting, the new Curado i looks like a winner. I'm assuming there's a spring under the spool tension cap?

Re: Curado 200i pics next to Ch/Met 100 Platform
cool...thanks for sharing the pics. can you tell me if the curado i knobs are the same septon power knobs as the ones we've all come to know and love? i ask because, in some pics i've seen out there, the knobs look flatter and slightly more contoured than before.
