Sonny,
I am mostly a daiwa guy. However I would not reccomend the Fuego it is not worth the money, just buy a TDZ best reel made IMO I have 6 of em. I also have a Antares, Calais, Scorpion 1001. The Scorpion is an "upgraded" curado it has a super free spool and a drag that can be adjusted w/ out taking off the cap. It also has a nicer handle like the calais. I got mine for 118.00 on ebay I would suggest just getting one there. I know people are gonna say dont buy it it cant be serviced, but it can I have sent Japanese reels back to daiwa and shmiano w/ out any problems before. Overall if you want the best lighest reel you can get, TDZ is the way to go. Calais is a nice reel but it's metal so it is like holding an ice cube in winter. I also like the way it fits in your hand and sits real low on the rod much better than the Chronarch. If you want a "upgraded" curado get a Scorpion off ebay.
