buying new reels

Hey guys Im gonna buy all new reels Ive been using the TD tierras and love them but they are too bulky what is the word on like the quantum Code,Curodo and even the citica i used all shimanos for a long time then went to daiwas when the old curodos went away. Any opinions or favoriats out there?

best (IMO of course) by dollar amounts:

$80 Ambassadeur C3
$120ish Shimano Citica (though it's not as good as folks would have you believe)
$180ish Shimano Curado
$300ish Abu Garcia Revo Premier 2010 (it's that good) can find these on ebay for around $200 though.

above that...you ain't finding a dud.

Thanks I can get these at cost so a curado cost me about 125 that's where I'm leaning or with the citica for around 90

talked to a shimano only repair guy and he said the citica holds up very well. he has not done any work on one of the new ones yet. said a good choice for the money. just what i was told.

thanks

Can't go wrong with a Curado...especially at that price.

I use the Revo Premiers that I got for that same price and love 'em! Comparable to the Chronarch 51 Mgs I had in both size and weight-much less expensive too.

I'm a Daiwa guy and love my Sols and Zillions, but for the price I wouldn't hesitate on buying a Curado.
