1909, Curado Conversion Question
Posted by E-man, Sat Apr-23-05 09:42 AM
Can a Curado 200BSF be converted to a 5:1 gear ratio? If so, what parts do I need to order from shimano? Thanks!

I wanted to know the same thing. A Curado BSF with 5:1 gears would be an awesome cranking reel. If anyone has info, post please!

Zen, thanks for the reply. It would have been sweet to convert the 200BSF to a 5:1...

You can't convert the 200BSF to 5:1, there's no possible gears to convert it. Sorry bro you're out of luck

Does the Curado 100 cast farther than the Curado 200?

The Curado 100 is a Super Free reel so it has the potential of casting further, but the 200 SF seems to be a little better with the lighter spool.

using the ch-50mg wiffle spool will unleash the potential of the 100b, esp w/ lighter lures }(

Does the wiffle spool fit w/o any other alteration?

yeah it fits just fine, but they're about $50 from Shimano and they're on b/o for a few more months

what would you say is the performance difference between the 100b with the wiffle spool compared to the chronarch 50?

same just the 50 is a lighter reel
