Wow!! Thanks for all the input. I think Im gonna go with the curado-1)Cause of all the great reviews you guys have gave it 2) I found a place I can get one even cheaper than ebay and hes in state and 3) I bought a shamino sahara spinning reel last year and if the curado is good as it (I love the sahara my fav spinning reel) I know I wont be disappointed. If anyone else has any other suggestions let me know. Again thanks for all the input. My next post question will be about a rod to pair the reel with.....Thanks guys.
