2023 Shimano Curado

[godshippy]

Has anyone heard anything about a new Curado coming out for iCAST this year?

Would just make sense if they drop the K and move over to the MGL and expand on that with different spool options.

Hoping before long to hear some leaks/news on the Stradic too. I really thought the Metanium might get an update, but release of a 2023 100 model in Japan has me doubting that.
I went to check possibility of some Shimano parts (putting a 90mm handle on a Conquest BFS) and noticed the 200K had a bunch of parts that were discontinued.

I saw the Stradics at 30% off just yesterday.

I know they're consolidating a lot of parts (reducing BNT numbers) internationally, so that could be as to why they're dropped off. Otherwise for a reel so current to be plagued with obsolete part numbers wouldn't be in Shimano's best interest.

I know this as I was ordering some parts for my Vanford and some parts out of the LRB were obsolete and moved over to the global RD numbering.

Must be a new one coming. Tackle Warehouse has them on closeout. Noticed the Tatula 100 on closeout also. No deals on the Curado K

There's definitely a new Stradic coming out--I feel like these get refreshed a lot more frequently than the Curados do...

Starting to see the Curado K on sale for 25% off.
