My Speculation but here is the letter I got.
January 3, 2014
Dear Valued Customer,
Welcome to 2014 and the New Year. We look forward to working with you during the next several months on new, innovative, and exciting items we have prepared for the upcoming tackle season.
Please note, there is a change in one of our key product categories that we want you to be aware of. Effective January 1, 2014, all Curado G series reels will be available for promotional pricing and our MSRP policy will no longer be in effect. Again, this will take effect January 1, 2014.
This pricing will apply to all product you have in stock. There is no additional Curado G inventory available at this time for reorders.
Our sales team will be attending the majority of the upcoming dealer shows and making dealer calls the entire month of January. We look forward to seeing you personally and working with you on growing and understanding your business needs over the next 30 days.
As always, please contact Shimano directly or your regional sales representative at any time if we can provide any additional services or answers to your questions.
Sincerely,
Shimano Sales Team

It should make for some great prices on a good reel.

its a great reel. just got some bad press and with today's internet, rumors spread like fire. some of the people who posted bad reviews never have picked up the reel but rather just posted second hand info.

The g series reels are just fine its the people that got spoiled with the e series at 119 when they went on sale before shimano stopped production. I have fished with a couple of the g series and never had an issue with them.

yea it was hard to spend 150 for the "g" series when the "e" series were discounted for 100. I got a couple of the discounted "e" series. Now if these "g" series go for like 75 that would be a steal.

I cant believe it took shimano this long to get the letter out.You would think they would have already done this a year and a half ago.
