ALRIGHT I ADMIT IT! I fell prey to the EON. I wasn't going to say anything, but I figured someone would do a search and find out I mentioned it in the past. Actually I got it as a gift, but that still doesn't make it right. When I first got it it seemed like an ok reel. I flicked the spool with my thumb and it spun forever so I figured it would cast good, which it actually does. That is the only thing good about it. The centrifugal cast control is a joke. The drag is sticky. It's kind of noisy and not smooth at all. Oh yeah and two weeks after I got it this little plastic mechanism inside the reel broke. They replaced it free of charge so now it works again, but I don't use it. So those are my thoughts on the EON.
I agree with everyone else on the Curado. I have one and love it and i'm getting another one in a week or two. -Phil
