Favorite Discontinued Reel?

[thelatrobe33]

The "old" Zillion. If I had to pick just one it's the 100SHSA.

I really like the shape of my first high end baitcaster, a TDS. The weight wasn't great though.

I new limited edition TDX 10x HSDF made of Magnesium (or maybe Zaion) with bigger gears, ultimate tournament drag, and a swept handle would be pretty sweet. I would most certainly buy one for $350 or less.

Curado 200B. Blows the zillion, ito, z, core, etc. out of the water

Opinions certainly vary.

I'd have to say the TD-Z Ito.

I was lucky enough to find nice samples of the TD-ito, cq51, and tdz type r+ last year. I bet the value of good condition reels go way up as less and less are available. I try to pickup whatever i can.

Chronarch MG 50. All it does is everything.

Conquest 50S and of course, the original Pixy...The correctly colored one.

I liked my correctly colored SMAK too. The twitching bar was pretty easy to get used to.

I am huge fan of the old B series curado as well, but my focus has been mostly on the BSF models with a super free spool. It is basically the same as the 200B or 201B but has the added upgrade of the super free spool found in higher end models. I have 4 of the BSF reels and only 2 of the regular 201B's and I rarely if ever use the basic model. I much prefer the BSF model.

I also have a newer Chronarch 101BPV and my older BSF curado reels blow it away.

So for me, the discontinued model I most prefer is the CU-201BSF.
