Heard alot of good things from magazines but was wanting to know the thoughts from actual users.

absolutely love them. i have a skeet reese,a calcutta, older curado's and a core and this particular curado is my favorite.i have bought 4 of these curado's, 2 200 e7 and 2 200 e5.

They are tuff as nails. I flip and pitch with 65lbs. braid and have cought a 10.13lbs bass in 8ft of water almost under the boat. I cought a five under a tree and she wrapped me up and I git her out.

I find that shimano baitcasters are to small for my hand.... the way I palm my reels lets my finger get caught up in the drag star when I'm winding the crank. I'm a REVO fan all the way. However, Shimano is the only spinning reel I will ever buy.

very good reels, but I'm TICKED that there is no 6.3:1 reel in the curado lineup. The D's at least had the 100's.

I don't care for how this reel sits on a rod to me. For some reason it just doesn't feel good in my hands. I liked how the 101D felt much better.

The E model doesn't feel as refined as the 200D's on retrieves, but it does cast better.

Love mine.... Citica E is awesome too.

Love my E7 and will buy more including the E5.

The E7s & E5s are great reels.

I have 2 and the yare great but the Citica 200E is a better deal on almost the same identical reel with a 6.3:1 ratio. If you need a burner reel this is it! If not go with the citica 200E and get 3 for the price of 2 Curado's.

I LOVE EM, I have 5 mg 50's 5 100 d's 5 scorpion 1000's and
got a e7 and e5 a few months ago.... e7 great carolina set
up on 7'3 glx e5 cranker great distance and very comfortable
in my hands.. the more you use em the smoother they get. will
be getting more in near future

I have 2 E7's and use them more than my 50mg's, Chronarch B's and Curado 200DHSV.

I like the ultra low profile that seems like an extension of my arm when casting.

Got another one on order.
