Good choice Grandpa2, I have 2 Pflueger reels that I use on a regular basis, I have the Low Pro Trion Baitcaster and I have the Pflueger Solara Spinning reel. Both of these are great reels and in my opinion, the trion is better than the Curado BSF. I think it is a lot smoother and nicer looking, but make sure to put a good lube on it pretty regularly and keep it out of saltwater because they freeze up real damn quick, just a single grain of sand will do it! Enjoy them!
