Curado is very popular and a good reel. but, You really have to feel the TD Zillion, and you'll notice the difference in quality and precision, the Zillion is by far a better reel, no comparison IMO. their Magforce Z cast control is amazing and adjustable without taking the side plate off. I looked at Curado, Quantum, Pflueger, and BPS Johny Morris Elite, it was an easy decision so finally bought the Zillion at BPS during their last sale/reel trade in event, regular price $299.99, was on sale for $249.88 less $40 for a reel trade in =$209.88 + tax =$239.27. can't wait to try it.
