I know most people love to throw Topwater, so I wanted to share a couple fun trips that produced some great fish. Made it out for the last hour of daylight Thursday and Friday, and the Topwater bite was incredible on both trips. Landed a few good ones on Thursday, but missed some massive blowups, so...

It appears the reel is actually dark green, instead of charcoal like it appeared in the 45 degree angle picture. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast20shimanocuradomgl.html DaveJ To me it looks like the same color as the Curado K 200 It does look green on Shimano’s site, but everywhere else shows ...

Our extreme humidity is what's dangerous here. For example, it was 93* yesterday. The heat index pushed the "real feel" to 107*. 90% humidity won't allow sweat to evaporate at all, so the sweat just runs down and soaks your clothing. You literally look like you've been swimming while fully clothed ...

I call this thread, the pandemic effect

Think you are right. It’s definitely not only happening on TT

I knew there were picky people on here, but wow. Won’t buy a reel because of the name??? Seriously? While I agree that Vanford is a weird name, definitely wouldn’t keep me from buying a reel. Even a name as bad as Tatulion

Personally, I’m glad they didn’t change the frame. Just like they didn’t change the Aldebaran frame when they updated. The 70 frame is very comfortable to palm, and see no reason to change a frame just to add in the new tech.

So if they re-release the Curado I with MM gears as the 2021 Curado K, you will be ok with that? they make it a new version/platform(which the letter shows)so it’s not confusing. If they aren’t selling the previous version anymore, the 70I is no more and the new version with improvements is the K v...

So if they re-release the Curado I with MM gears as the 2021 Curado K, you will be ok with that? I could honestly care less what a company calls something. They could call it the 3030 Curado X and it would make no difference to me. The fact is that when they make changes to a reel, they don’t just ...

Definitely agree. Gets old quick. Even a post about a fun new reel went downhill quickly

Issue has been addressed.

Thanks Cal I’m good with hearing about members issues with gear as that’s very important...but wow, some people can go overboard.

Being a big fan of the original 70, I’m looking forward to this iteration. Color is opinion, I happen to like this scheme. I’m happy to see Shimano offering the K in a 70 size with the aforementioned upgrades. It's not a 70 sized K. It's not a new platform. It's the old 70 with MM gears and Curado ...

I really have a problem over shimano lowering quality and reliability for it's newer reels. Fish a Conquest BFS reel, the new Antares or the Met 20's and you'll quit making every post of yours one about your issues with Shimano. ;) Definitely agree. Gets old quick. Even a post about a fun new reel ...

I need to get on the hunt for some Jackall Bling 55's. My stash is dangerously low now. That’s a good one Tim, not much else on the market like it. I still have a few of the original Poe's cedar cranks, too. I only fish them in open water. 8-[ :whistle: know about that all to well. That’s me with m...

Bling 55, Viper Riserbacker, LC 1.5 in the color “pearl Shad”, WEC Mutt, Evergreen FS-R

Some good baits in that list! Got a nice stockpile of those Mutts... . Reminded me about the 0.5 too

Got the Yumeya spool in for the little Scorpion. You’re never going to regret that spool Beautiful set up btw. Thanks. I like these little reels and can see why they are so coveted. Any tips on smoothing them out or is that normal for these reels to buzz in your hand when palming and spinning the h...

Lots of nice fish showing up, nice catches guys! Crankbaitaddict is keeping me honest and I like that. Just posted some tackle, but let's not forget the main reason I'm out there every day.... :lol: Always enjoy seeing what all this amazing tackle can do! Nice fish man, keep up the good work with th...
