I have 2 201B5 greenies. I once had a 4:3-1 but once you hooked the fish if it charged the boat you could not reel fast enough to keep it hooked up.

Quite a few Curado B reels on eBay at this time. When I did a search, it came back with over 200 chances. I KNOW there are not that many B reels for sale, but the first page was filled with reels of the 200 B series. Anywhere from $50 to $120 for them. Go look, if interested. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...313&_nkw=Curado+B+reels&_sacat=0Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck. Thad Rains

Thad Rains I’m thinking that might be the best deal can always add better handle and knobs

I’ve always been a Shimano guy. Most of my rods on deck are old grey Chronarchs and Calais. The last 5 or so years their reels have been less than desirable to me. The new Curado DC and Metanium are the real deal though. Best new reels they have made in years

A good bang for your buck is a ABU Ora Winch. When TW has a sale of 15-20% off and they are $80-85

For the majority of my crank baits I like the Daiwa Tatula CT 5.5 -1 gear ratio or the Lews Super Duty 5.4-1 . Both are very smooth but I seem to get longer casts out of the Diawa's. For large cranks and heavier swim baits I like the Lews Super Duty wide spool. 5-1 gear ratio.
If your heart is set on a Shimano the Curado E in a 5-1 is a great reel but you will have to search for one since they are no longer made.
