I think the new Curado K is the best Curado ever made. Yep. I wont be getting rid of my E's but the K is the real deal...no pun intended. I have several old Curados I will gladly trade for the new K's if you like.  No way Ken! I'm keeping my K's too! Oh come on! If you trade me I'll let you buy my lunch!

I like the K series Curado more than the E series but I liked the I series more than the E as well. Well that's just insane.

Even better than the old B series reel? I have about 13 or 14 of them and put them uup against the K and you have to spend a TON of time, or I did, putting the right settings on it. It continually falls out of shape while deep cranking. NO THANKS, I will keep my old B reels and baby them along for another year. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

I have not tried a K yet, but I have all 200e series and see no reason to change. Shimano hit the stink button with a couple of their releases the last few years IMO, so for now I will keep what I have.
Now if someone wants me to "field test" a K I am all in!

The DC's should be out shortly, I am hoping my contact in San Diego has some when I go out there in September. I am hoping to get them for cost.... Hoping is the key word here...

The only problem I have with the K Series is they have no low speed reels. Maybe I'm wrong...
