i recenyly bought a shimano curado. several of the fellas on the forum suggested the citra but tne nice boys at PRO LURES OF DALTON did not have a left handed one so i got the curado instead. i had to try it out even though the wind was crazy today. anyway i absolutely love it. nice and smooth. casts great. i think i will have to get another one. or try out the citra. i'm wondering if it will help me catch more fishemoTongue a guy named louie that works at PRO LURES OF DALTON helped me through the whole process of making my mind up as to what rod and reel i need. louie is a super guy. took his time and explained everything to me. i really appreciate nice people like this young fella. GOD BLESS
