I believe his sibling has moved in over here an started whispering in my ear as well. What did me make you buy? I'm on the hook for 5 reels and 2 rods this past week.
nice man..details please!
2 Curado E7
3 Citica 200E's
I fell in love with Curado E after borrowing my brother's. A review on (tackletour.com I believe) said that the Citica was almost as good except not quite as smooth due to less bearings. I bought one of each, and yes the Curado is a smoother reel, but only by a minor amount. Not enough to pay an extra $50 to get all Curado's. The Curado's will go on my worm rods which is what I fish with most of the time.
Picked up 2 Kistler LTA's off eBay. They were both reconditioned, but it's a cheap way to test the waters on an otherwise expensive rod. One was an 1 1/2 shorter I picked up for $60 (I figure it went from a fast action to an x-fast action) and one had a crack in the cork handle repaired for $70. Not bad considering they're $250 rods.
I'm not even going to go into the box of jigs and worms that showed up yesterday.... hey I'm just trying to stimulate the economy
