Shimano curado i

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Shimano curado i

Post by dcorp » Fri Nov 24, 2017 10:42 am

Hey guys I haven't bought a new reel in years or done any research. All my reels are curado e's. I just noticed that curado i are on sale pretty cheap. I remember the overall census on the Gs we're they were not as good as the E's. How do the Is compare? I wouldnt be selling my E's just adding a few more.

How cheap?

I only ask as the new K can be had for around the 160 dollar mark from Tackle Trap. I've owned both and the K is by far a better design. The I was by all means a good reel, but the K is a much much better design.

Land Big Fish has them for 33% off. I have two in addition to other Curado models and have found them to be really nice reels.
