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.

I don't think you'll regret it Todd. They'll probably make you go back to
Ebay for more. Don't forget to use the word "Scorpion" in your search for
Curado's, they're the same reel, only made in Japan.
