Curado 300

Post by L Dub »

After these go off the market, are there any other compact reels that will come in this size? Is there a suitable alternative?

OR, does anyone know where I can still get one? I've been tracking them on EBAY, but it looks like it's gonna be around $185 at least!

Before the sale and rebate on the Curado 301 happened I was going to get the Quantum Cabo PT, I have heard good things about it. You can see it here:

The Cirado is an AWSOME swimbait reel, That what I am useing in my Lake Sonoma video. It handeles bigger fish no problems. They reatil for 250$ so 185$ is a STEAL!! Next time you see one for that price or lower jump ALL over it! You wont be sorry :wink: Match it up with a Dobyns 806HSB or Mike Long and you will have the ULTIMATE swimbait set up! I hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure its not going off the market completely...I think they are just slightly tweaking them. At least thats what I've heard.

I just received one of the Quantum Accurists. Put it on one of my Powell flippin sticks and I believe it is smaller than my curados. It nestles in my hand better than any reel I have used for flipping.

If it's true that they're just tweaking them, then I might be able to wait. Any Shimano Reps around? Where could I get more info?

Rumor on the street is that there will be a up-sized Revo due to come out in the fall.

Not trying to be a sellsman but if you are looking We still have a few left at C & C in Modesto. Both left and right hand.
Got to agree with above post that this is an awsome swimbait reel.

You really can't go wrong with any of the Shimano Curado and Scorpion Super Free model reels. Durability, Price, and fishibility. I have sereral, And I like them.

Gentlemen,

Ok, here's the deal. Curado 300 is not going away. I waited to post until this was confirmed to me, and it has been. Again, there is and will be a Curado 300. The 300 is definately an awesome unit,
and remains in the line.

Do you know if it will a watered down Curado 300 offered at a lower price or an improved or comparable 300 offered at a lower price?

Seriously, when has Shimano ever "watered down a reel"?

It is what it is as they say! Curado 300 is in the line~
