I have a Curado 300 EJ, the handle is coming loose. I tightend the nut that keeps the handle on but it keeps coming loose. why?

Do you have the retainer on the nut?

Try loc-tite blue on the threads. A little goes a long way.

There is a cap or retaining ring that you screw into the handle and holds the nut from spinning. Don't lock tite it. Could easily strip the threads getting it back off.

I use BLUE Loc - Tite on all the reels I do. As RJ says a little goes a long way.
