    Curado 150?

    Is the curado 150 mgl exact same frame (just different spool) as curado 70 mgl?

    I ask as I have a few chronarch 150s but prefer the size of my curado 70 for palming but need 150 spool for certain things. Thank you
    Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?

    The 150 has a smaller diameter spool that allows the reel to be lower. I would give one a go.

    I was going to order 5 of them but wanted to get a good idea first of size. How does curado 150 mgl compare to curado 70 mgl or curado 70 and Chronarch 150?

    I would compare it to the Chronarch … maybe a bit smaller.
    Now I will say this … and it’s after careful consideration.
    This new Curado 150 MGL is the best new reel this sport has seen in years.
    It feels very similar to the Metaniums for half the price .
    Yes ! It absolutely does !
    This new 150 MGL Curado is completely off the charts !
    It’s only 6 1/2 ounces !!! Incredibly light !
    So damn strong too ! It has a more powerful drag than the K .
    Cant say enough great things about it …
    I just bought 8 of them …
    Guys you have to try them for yourselves to believe how much Shimano hit this one out of the park .

    The Curado 150 mgl and the 70 mgl are very similar in size sitting side by side they look about the same.
