| What are opinions on the Shimano Curado vs. the Abu Revo Toro? Im considering going to the low profile reels but wonder how each holds up? Obviously both companies have great reputations. |

| Q: Why do you almost never see any used Curados for sale here?
A: They work, they last, and people want to keep them.

| I have had both.
I like the Curado for lighter lures, max 3 oz, for anything over 3 oz i preffer Toro.
The Curado is alot quieter, the Toro is more heavy duty built and is more comfortable to palm.
The Toro has a synced levelwind, which i preffer for heavier fishing.
Alot of people like the Toro, alot of people like to Curado. Its like asking which women are hotter, blondes or brunettes? We all have different opinions... |

Location: sw pa | I have had a curado 300 for two years now with no problems.i would say both reels are great though.the reason i went with the curado is because Shimano has a great cleaning/greasing/repair reputation.i also have calcutta tes so that was another reason to get curado.didn't want to send repairs or cleaning to two different company's.just easier that way.plus im a diehard Shimano man |

Location: Denmark | The Revo Toros are IMO much better reels for Musky fishing than the Curados, in every aspect.
Better brakes, better handles, better gears, better drag. Better line capacity, better looking, multiple choice of gearing, non-disengaging levelvind, extra anti reverse clutch. |

| Definitely go with the Revo Toro, mainly for the non-disengaging levelwind. |

I am confused on this point, I own 3 curado's and 2 toro's and my curado's will outcast my toro's by at least 10-20 yards. I think each reel has it's place and I can't say I like one over the other. |

Location: Lebanon,Mo | Better selection as far as gear ratio with Toros and believe there are ten times more on the water than Curados is why you see them for sale more often.Just my opinion of course...both reels are good,but i prefer the Toros levelwind. |

Location: Madison, WI | That is my link to the reels for sale. I do not have any negative things to say about the Curado 300s. They cast great. They are very smooth. I have never had problems with them. I am simply going to smaller setups - those setups will include a couple of Shimano Citica 200e's. Both of these Shimano reels have treated me right.

Location: Michigan | I have 2 of each. 3-4 year on the curados, mainly on jerkbait rods. I like them a lot, and have not had to have them repaired. Have not used the Toros as much; first season with them. They seem dolid, but can't speak for long term durability. The both feel good in the hand, but slightly different from one another. Both good reels... |

| Never heard anything bad about the Toro, but I have a 300 DSV that I throw propbaits with and I love it. Smoother than butter and casts country mile. Again, no disprespect to the Toro, I've just never tried one. Both seem like great reels. |
