I just recently added 2 new reels to my arsenal. The new curado 7:0 gear ratio model is awesome. The high ratio really helps you take up the slack on a running fish. I also baught 2 of the new quantum Tour edition reels , one with the 7:0 burner and the other in a 6:3 gear ratio. So far so good. All three are hard to beat. Id say the Quantum tour edition reels are my favorite. I beleieve the price was around 230 each. Good, Good reels.
