Need recommendations on a bait casting reel.

I have a few older Shimano Corioiis's and really like them. I'd love
to own a Curado but they are not in my price range (I'm looking at a
few used ones, though).

Wants (in order):
Very low profile (comfortable feel in hand)
No back-up on reel handle
Price Range: $40-$80 (would like to be as close to $60 as possible)

Thanks to everyone!! As a result I bought 2 Curado's off ebay for $130
total to my door. I'm looking forward to fishing with them!


Good deal. I have a older Bantam and rarely, if never use it. I am a big
guy, and like the bigger round reels. Love my 251 Calcutta. I also use a
couple of the 4301 Abu's. Mostly on my Kokanee trolling rigs, but do bass
fish with them at times, when I need a very light line approach.
