Cores are sweet reels for freshwater but saltwater they suck, I've had mine rebuilt 2-4 times in a year n a half.... Not made to fish the coast. I threw that thing in the garbage

I have 5 Curado's on rods and 2 in the box, never used.
Set up for a while.

Ron Ardoin bought some off of Ebay and fixed them up.
He bought the Curado's that were pre 200 E-7.
The light green ones. He has a buttload if anyone is
looking.

I bought a few quantum reels, they're really smooth and great to fish with, but keep em clean and oiled they don't last as long as the shimano, but the smoke is a bad @$$ reel!

Let me know when u wanna go ... Got a house to stay at anytime it's totally different over there

[speck-chaser]

Anyone trying any of the U.S. reels yet. Ive heard some good reports about the drags and casting performance. Just wondering if they will hold up to the salt.

In case you did not know....saltwater is saltwater...1800ppm at Cameron is the same 1800ppm in Fl or Jamaica or Alaska...

Obviously waters with same ppm /ppt salinity are same salinity.... That coast in Fla has bigger tidal swings bringing in way saltier water inshore

Water around S. Padre Island gets so salty at times that the fish leave. I took 2 Curados when I went down there and threw 'em in the garbage about 2 months later. Both spools and drags were froze solid. That damn water down there is like battery acid. No way I'd take my good reels down there wading. I'm sure the salinity in Prien was higher, tho.
