For all you Shimano lovers, there's a few new reels out there now.  The information is also up on the Shimano Home website, but at the moment some of the specs information is messed up.


Caenan 100/101 price point at $89.99


Curado 300EJ price point at $259.99


Curado 50/51E price point at $199.99


Stradic CI4 Microline price point at $199.99

I see some these in my future arsenal...

I hope the new Stradic and Curado are really good, the originals are a tough act to follow.

I've been having line management issue on the Curado 200E's so hopefully the smaller spool on the Curado 50E will fix my problem for light weight of 1/4 oz. My plan is to really use it for ice fishing.

The Curado 300EJ with the single knob power handle is a good design that which unfortunately the original Curado 300E didn't have available as an option. This will make for a real nice Pike/Musky reel workhorse.

I love my Stradic 3000 it was an upgrade from my Sedona's which are workhorses by the way Shimano rocks !
