This is the best baitcasting reel I have ever had. It is a big step up. On the first night fishing trip I caught a handsome bass on a zara spook largely because my cast was on target and the fast retrieve of the reel allowed me to 'walk-the-dog' perfectly. There was heavy brush and a fallen tree there, but the quick retrieve allowed me to pull the fish away from obstructions and net it.

Sleek, very smooth operation, great balance. Retrieval rate is incredible, 36” of line for 1 full turn of the crank. This reel will pull the biggest Lunkers in before they even know they been hooked. The only downside is the lack of instructions and illustrations “especially the custom adjustable brake system “

This reel is my go to reel for my personal fishing and guiding. I have left and right hand retrieves. I use it a lot on the river for Snakeheads, Bowfin, Gar, and both large and small mouth bass.

Great reel. Very smooth, good casting distance. Only issue it has really, is bit tricky to set up and dial in. Long time Abu and Daiwa, along with older Shimano reels, but this one backlashed horrible until got dialed in. If you enjoy Shimano give it a go. Otherwise, if you prefer ease of set up and use I would suggest any of the Daiwa Tatula CT reels, as they are crazy easy to set up. So many good reels on Mar k at now it is hard to go wrong with any of them.......

A workhorse reel from a leader in bass fishing. The Curado series is smooth and dependable. Multiple gear ratios allow the angler to choose a retrieval speed to meet a given technique

Smooth reel. Cast great! I own a few of the newer models and as much as I fish need something that is above average quality. Never seem to let me down.

This is the Shimano you have been waiting for, all the great features of the high end reels with a great price point so you can buy more than just one!

Nice super smooth and quiet reel. Once it is adjusted, it is backlash free. I would buy another one. Wait a minute, I bought 2 more of them.

I got this for my frog rod and it cast a mile I would totally suggest this to anybody who is on the fence between this and any other reel.
