Comments:Great reel, just bought 2...Casts a mile and super smooth. The
differences from Curado E are: one less bearing in the reel, non bearing
supported grips, grip size, SLIGHTLY heavier spool, and the drag star
and handle are made differently. All of which are really minor
differences, the bearing supported grips are what send the Curado E to
another level of smoothness. Great buy for $120, cant wait to buy a few
more!

Comments:This is a GREAT REEL for the price!!! Great casting and a smooth retrieve. If I wanted anything more on this reel it would be a titanium line guide. Other than that, this reel is awesome for the price. Shimano for life!

Comments:Bought this reel not knowing what to expect. Boy was I impressed. It doesn't differ much from the Curado. Casts amazing, great feel, easy to adjust brakes. Great reel for the money!

Comments: For $120, you get your money's worth and then some. This reel casts lures well with the proper brake adjustments, even senkos. But I primarily use it for crankbaits, so casting is no problem for me. And the clicking Star Drag is great and easy to adjust on the fly. It's lightweight, smooth and has been reliable for me since Feb. Overall, a GREAT reel for $120.
