#1543, "question for shimano buffs"
|
Does anyone have a CU100B with the chronarch50 spool? Does it make a big difference? Also, does the chronarch50 cast control cap improve performace? or is it merely cosmetic?
Also, does anyone know if/when shimano will come up with the revamp version of the CU200B? It seems to me that shimano is making a lot of redesigns and would like to know if the curado will get an overhaul before I buy one.
I guess I can toss this one also here: given the choice between a TD Fuego and a ChronarchMG (last year's model) which would you take?
Btw, it sucks to lose a big fish due to a poor hookset! x(

Thanks for the reply. I do have a Daiwa Alpha and I love the low profile and everything else but at around 250 it is a bit expensive. With that said, the TDZ is WAY out of my league. :) Any particular reason why you don't like the fuego? Also, how low does the scorpion 1000 sit compared to the daiwa reels?

That's one sick looking curado 100! what handle is that? also, how much did you pay for the spool and the handle?

the reason I want to do the upgrade on the spool is 1) I find the reel is rather slow to start when pitching. 2) I bought mine new at sport chalet for 89. I figure 89+50(spool) = 139. If just the spool upgrade will give me bsf like performance, it is well worth the money. Plus, i have small hands also and like to palm my reels and the 200 size is just a tad too big since I am used to daiwa.
btw, is there anyone besides heartland tackle that carries the spool?
