Re: Congrats to all who bought the E series curado cheap

Lefties still got the shaft in gear ratios. So they offer a Lefty Curado in 6.5 as well as 7.1?! Well the Citica comes in 6.5 as well so an easy gear swap would've solved that problem but we still got no 5.1 for lefties. No need to make a Curado and Citica in 6.5 as that ordeal could've been solved...

Re: Daiwa price increases ?

You didn't understand what toku said, and you seem to have no knowledge of how the world market works. The value of the U.S. Dollar fluctuates. For instance, if something is priced at 10,000 yen in japan, it will always be 10,000 yen, regardless of how many yen equal one dollar. If something is pric...

Re: ICast 2011 rumors

Yea I reviewed the specs, it is definitely a vast improvement over the old one, but I can't help but be skeptical about daiwa's "value" reels. High end stuff they do superbly, low end stuff, not so much.

They definitely just blew the mid to low end rod market wide open with those.

Re: Congrats to all who bought the E series curado cheap

so the chronarch is the Curado of last year, the curado and citica are upgraded caenans (the caenan by the way has not sold very well). Brilliant. :roll: What is taking the chronarch's slot I wonder?

Re: Quantum Exo reels.

definitely an innovative way to reduce weight. I'm waiting for the price though. All that structural engineering can't come cheap. If it's in the Tour price point, maybe I'll give it a shot. Anything more than that, I just can't justify spending it on a zebco.

Re: ICast 2011 rumors

I met jimmy houston not too long ago and was not impressed. Let's just say he's a little too "hollywood" for my taste...Bill's first blooper tape is a classic, but some of the subsequent installments seem a little staged. Can't blame him for trying to capitalize on a succesful idea though.
