no actual experience with any of them. my buddy swears by the Luna. considered buying one myself just off of his recommendation. heard drastically contradicting reports on the BBS. Curado seems to be pretty solid.

Hey Deep,
I haven't run the Luna 253 but I have been very pleased with the quality and performance of my Luna 300's. I think you may be correct in assuming you will sacrifice some casting distance.

The curado is a great reel if you like a smaller bass style reel and is much better than the bbs. But if you like round reels, the daiwa luna series is the best reel in the $200 range. Tackle tour just did a write up on it, comparing it directly to the calcutta te, with the te just barely edging it out. But at a $100 more, you can buy the luna and a couple nice swimbaits:-)
