IS THE CURADO 300 A DISCONTINUED REEL OR IS IT JUST BACK ORDERED AND WILL BE PRODUCED AGAIN?
IS THE PRICE GOING UP?
IS IT BEING REPLACED WITH A NEW MODEL?
THANKS.

YEAH I UNDERSTAND WE CAN STILL GET THEM BUT ARE THEY DISCONTINUED?
ARE THEY BEING REPLACED WITH A NEW MODEL?
BASS PRO STILL HAS SOME AS WELL.
BUT THE RUMOR IS THEY ARE DONE MAKING THE 300 MODEL.
JUST WANT TO KNOW UP FRONT.

They are currently on backorder. They are not discontinued currently.

I beg to differ. They are indeed discountinued. All Curados, Symetres, Sedonas, Citica, Cruxis and a few other cheaper lines are gone. Way I heard it was that the Curados were NOT selling at all. They had something like 2 years worth of reels sitting in storage, hence the coupon deal. Then they sold so many that they are now out of them. I don't think they realized what a differrene $50 makes. They flubbed on em, heavy, expensive, an IMHO no great advancment over the green ones. The citica on the other hand is a killer reel for $120. They priced themselves out of the market. After ICAST the new ones should be in July/August.

When I posted that in February the reels were not discontinued. As of now they have been discontinued. Any new products will be released at the ICAST show in July.
