I'm in the market for a new baitcaster and am seriously thinking about the curado. I would love to hear any opinions, or even better suggestions($120 or less). Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hard to go wrong in that price category. I've run them as boat cadting reels for a few years now and they've done us very well. A simple swap of drag washers now and again and a little cleaning and never had anything breakdown under LOTS of use smile

It's your best bang for the buck by far.

awsome reel, I have the 201 and am using it for drift fishing and float fishing and it works great. Go for it!

I have a couple of them and would concurr with the other replies that not only is it a good reel but, a very forgiving baitcaster.
