Title: Inshore, Calcutta vs Curado
Post by: Brent on April 25, 2011, 12:01:37 AM
Hello all, I am curious about your opinion on a Calcutta vs Curado for inshore fishing. I have used Curados bass fishing for years, but now I am looking to put together something a little different for redfish, trout, and flounder. Specifically I am wondering if you think the ARB bearings are good enough to sway the vote. I do like the low profile of the Curado, but I like the durability aspect of the Calcutta.

I have to say I have lurked on this site many times. Alan you and your friends here are amazing. Thanks to you all for being willing to post so many tutorials and answer so many questions. Yall are a great example of sportsmen helping sportsmen. BUT I do not intend on tearing down my 6500 Baitrunner ANYTIME soon.. ;D
