EC1 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Jchau, I cannot believe this reel is of any interest to you! I bet this reel is going to perform, and get lots of praise for it, but I find that Curado's are kind of boring in terms of how they look. Especially when their 50, 200, and 300 sizes are all going to be the exact same colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fishburn Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Who cares how they look, just saying. How they work and perform is what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondar Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) time for another one Edited July 16, 2010 by Bondar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdox Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 There's no way I'm waiting until Oct. for this. I'll be ordering it's equivalent from Japan, the Scorpion 1000XT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I agree with the fact that people choose function before form, but then there are a ton of other factors after that. If I can find a similar performing reel for the same amount of money, I guarantee you that the Curado's will not be my first choice. Whether you get a scorpion, or another reel that performs at the same rate, Shimano could dominate (Yea I know they do already) the market even more if their Curado just used an extra few months to develop in terms of their visuals.

Garry2Rs Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Visuals??? Look at Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes Benz, form follows function. Perhaps you could add some flame decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion XT1000 Smoothest casting reel I have owned, casts farther casting than my pixy, Alphas, TDZ and Core 100. Almost as smooth as the Calais IMO Edited July 16, 2010 by jchau53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 See, that's exactly what I meant. Even a different colour and possibly they could have even used the Scorpion colours and I would have bought it. Jchau, that looks amazing! Ready to sell it yet? haha I'll save the flame decals to cover landmarks in my pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
