I'm going to be buying 2 new reels this month. I already plan on buying one of the new 200E7 Curados.....but I need suggestions for the 2nd. I would like it to be under $250 (and preferably under $200 if at all possible).

I haven't bought any new baitcasters in several years.....and I am typically a hard-core Shimano fan, but I am open to new ideas.

Thanks.

I like revo SX ... Some guys say they backlash easy.. I havent had that problem. Can cast it farther than any reel I own.

I've got 6 Revo SX's and love them all. For the money I don't think there is any thing better.

Pflueger Patriarch. Tackle Warehouse has them on sale for $149!

Plus 1 I havent ever had that problem with mine .

I love the citicas

I say get another Curado

Get a zillion off ebay.

another curado or get the partner a citica

Already have 2 Citicas....

Can't go wrong with a Revo or Lew's IMO.

If you have an e7,get an e5 for cranks. If you want a reel for smaller cranking/plastics applications get an e50. They can be bought on ebay from a reputable sellor for <150$ each.

Revo STX if you are going to get a Revo..

Other wise get another curado!

Revo STX

Get with Lure Buddy on here and get you a brand new Curado with upgraded bearing and drag washer for less that you can buy a standard one at BPS! Got 2 on order and can't wait to try them at Falcon next week!!
