Hello from the wet Pacific Northwest,
I was out Steelhead fishing a few weeks ago with my beloved green Shimano Curado 201B when I decided I should have spare. I also thought a couple right hand versions would make great Kokanee reels for next spring. Fortunately I found another 201B and a couple 200B's on Ebay which are being completely torn down for rebuild. I have learned a lot searching around on this site and am impressed by the helpful community of people. Thank you everyone for your contributions in an effort to help others, it's much appreciated.

permission granted, welcome aboard!!!!!
Welcome Rodger! ;D
Haze Grey and Underway! ;)
Aloha! Welcome Roger
Hi from the allegedly dry part of the Pacific NW.
I use Curado 201s and Calcutta 51's for steelhead and kokanee.
Welcome! I used to get rained on for two weeks every time I went to visit my Mom, when she lived in Port Townsend.
Good luck with those reels.
Welcome!
Welcome Aboard Rodger.
(piping sound ooweeoo) Welcome aboard. Dominick
Welcome, Rodger --
Not sure what part of the Pacific Northwest you live in -- but we have visited many times up to Bremerton to visit wife's Aunt.
Lots of Steelhead and Salmon rivers/creeks up around there.
I am always amazed when driving on 304 to go towards Sea-Tac -- passing the 5 aircraft carriers moored at the Navy Yard in Sinclair Inlet. Lot of history in those old flat tops.
Best,
Fred

Moored along the Bremerton shoreline are the retiring Kitty Hawk (CV 63) and decommissioned Ranger (CV 61), Independence (CV 62) and Constellation (CV 64). When the USS John C. Stennis isn't patrolling the oceans, it's there with them.

Howdy and welcome aboard from Florida. I use the Calcutta 200B and love that little reel for Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder.
That's ok Fred. I put the word out but it might not have gotten to the right people. If you see black SUVs near your house be careful... ::) Dominick
