Chris,

Congratulations on the combo and the bass. I love the Curado. Those are
the only baitcasters I have, and don't sweat the backlashes, we all get em
here and there. As for getting more now that you have one,, It doesn't ever
seem like you have enough of them for every situation so you don't have to
retie every time you want to change baits . I now have 5 curado combos
and I could use at least 2 more

Take care and tight lines

For the past week or three, I've been eyeing a Shimano Curado combo at
BPS.
When I saw there's a BPS only about 30-minutes from where I was staying I
knew I needed to go and visit. Well, Saturday, I did just that and today
was the first day I got to use it.

Overall, I love it...I've had a few backlashes here and there but I'm
quickly adapting to it. Of course, now that I have one, I need MORE.

Out on the local lake with a rented boat, we did two bass. That was two
more than everyone else we saw on the lake. in fact, my wife landed her
first bass ever though she lost it just as she went to pull it out. They
have a pier for fishing so I may go back out there for a few hours.

I'll post pics of my teeny half-a-pounder when I return from Virginia.
