Shimano Curado 200 E Casting Reels - $179.99 It's not easy to improve upon one of the greatest casting reels of all time but Shimano engineers and designers are constantly searching for improvements. The Curado E is a complete overhaul from the D Series. The Curado E series utilizes a frame that is smaller than the previous Curado 100D but has the same line capacity as the previous 200DHSV. Shimano not only redesigned the entire frame size of the Curado E they also made sure to reduce the overall weight by 2.2 ounces. As with the D Series the Curado E Series is equipped with Super Free casting technology and a Magnumlite Spool. Shimano has continued with HEG gearing and a Dartanium Drag for fish moving power and fighting strength.

Customer feedback on Shimano Curado 200 E Casting Reels

Comments:I have the 200E7 and work part time at a tackle shop which allows be to try the other quality reels. The 200E7 has no match, period. From:Leonard: Florence, SC Comments:Awesome reel! Couldn't be happier. I have both the 7:1 and 5:1 and have no complaints from either! From:Tyler: Virginia, USA Comments:This reel is a major improvement from the Curado D series. I love my two Curados D but this is simply better. Also, if you are left handed and you are looking for a lower gear ratio, the Citica makes a good choice since the Curado, as far as I know, does not come in the E5 version for left handed.
