No, the line capacity on the new Curado is NOT the same, but it's not too much less. Roughly 15 yards less if you fill it with 12 lb. mono. I bought a new one recently and it kicks ass!!! Filled it with 50 lb. Power Pro and filled my old curado with the same. The new Curado took 115 yards and the old one took 130. Not too much difference as you can see, but there is a difference. Peace
