Love this company, love this reel!
So I bought the 2011 model (Curado 201E7) and fell in love with it. So in a continuing effort to ever expand my fishing gear collection, I had to spring for the 2012 model (Curado 201G6). And yet again I'm in love. I use this reel in combination with a 7', Medium power, Fast Action St. Croix Triumph casting rod. I use 12lb. Trilene XL. Here in central New Jersey fishing has started to pick up over the past couple weeks. We've had some unseasonably warm weather which in my opinion has turning the fishing right on. On this reel I've successfully landing a 27" Northern Pike, and multiple 4lb. Largemouth. and 24"+ chain pickerel. This reel reels smooth as a dream, casts far and smooth as well. Very minimal "birds nests" but like all baitcasters you have to have your settings dialed in just right. The drag has been strong enough for all my freshwater applications, and the VBS (variable break system) has proven useful and reliable in controlling cast distance and velocity. If I had to make one complaint, I would say there is a slight wobble in lure retrieval, as if the reeling mechanism is slightly off balance, but you get used to it and adjust your reeling style within 20 casts. All around a great product, I love it, and if you appreciate the great craftsmanship Shimano has become known for you should too.

Best reel I've ever used!
I've been buying shimano reels for about 20 years and I've still got one of those that still works and I use. As far as I'm concerned, there's no better reel for tne money. Definitely a good buy!
