Is the Speedmaster 200 the same size as a Curado 200?
Seems closer to the curado 300
Supposed to be a deep spool CU 200/201, IIRC.

Wicked b@D@$$ rod! :evil22:

Thanks guys! I was getting so fidgety trying to save my 1000th post for this, it was in the works since December.

The Speedmaster 200 is built on the same platform as the Curado 200DHSV. However, it holds 165 yards of 12lb., a bit more than the Curado as it has a deeper spool.

I'll be using this setup for swimbaits at my home lake, strictly for largemouth. I plan on doing a magazine style review on this rod, I'll try to get that going asap....

Cool rod. Megabass USA told me they are back in production and can order one directly. Tempted but wondering how it cast big, trebled lures like a Deps 250, etc?

Nice rod, personally I'd pair with a modified Shrapnel. :big grin:
