Comments: I recently bought the Curado BFS reel and paired it with the 6'10 light and let me tell you, once you start using it most of you spinning rods will be obsolete! I use it for everything from 1/16 ounce Shakey heads to 1/10 ounce Ned rigs to micro cranks and micro chatterbaits!

Comments: I have the 7 ft M and 7 4 MH. Definitely my two favorite rods I've ever owned. Casts like a dream. Great bend. Light. I have friends who have the new composite exprides but I prefer the curados. Exprides are much stiffer and aren't as nice to cast. I'll be buying more of these.

Comments: Picked up the 7'm/mod late fall for chatterbaits. Only caught 3 or 4 bass, because of lack of use. Paired with a Curado K the combo feels balanced and has amazing casting distance. My first fiberglass rod in 30+ years so far feels perfect for chatterbaits and seems to give the lures more action and kick outs. The rod is sensitive enough to feel the blade thumping or not thumping (set the hook) or grass on it. The rod is comfortable and looks great. I will buy another and the price is right.
