I have 4 Curados and thought about buying a different reel but in the end I stuck with the Curado. I have'nt tried any of the Quantoms. I've tried some of the mid range Daiwas ($50-120) but liked my Curado more.

I do not want to sound like a Shimano whore but I will not buy anything else.
I have had Abus, Diawas, Quantums, Mitchels, Bass Pro, and Cabela reels and while they are all very fishable they do not seem to have the duribility of the Shimanos. I know that I have posted this before but I still use my very first Shimano baitcaster that I got in 1988, it still works like a champ and I have never had it serviced or cleaned. Last year I bought one each of the low end Shimano baitcasters (Castillo, Crestfire) and have been impressed with them. Now they are not Curados but they are very useful reels. The other thing I like about Shimano is their coustomer service. I recently sent my older spinning real to them and they fixed it no charge and it was back in my hands in just over a week. If you like the shimanos I would stick with them. I am thrilled that Santa brought me my first Curado this year, I am sure I will have it for a very long time. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous
