23.27What a ripoffDELNI::OTAMon May 12 1997 17:5316
I have been breaking my reels down to the bearing level cleaning 
them and getting them ready for my fishing trip this friday.

Well yesterday I took apart my Shimano Curado and Shimano Citicia 
baitcasters. 

What has pissed me off, is they are the same reel, down to the 
springs.  There is no difference between the Curado and the 
Citicia except the Curado costs about $25 more.  Unless I missed 
something somewhere it had the same roller bearing and bearings.  
Both bodies seem to be the same aluminum frame too.  Other than 
color and price differences, they are the same reel.

What a rip off.

    Interesting as the catalog said that the Curado has
                     4 stainless steel ball bearing & 1 roller and the
    Citicia has only 1 stainless stell ball bearing & 1 roller
    
    I use the Shimano Spinning reels and find that the Stardic and
    Symetyre look very simular, however in years of use the Stardic
    last about 2x as long without repairs.

    Yeah John I read the same thing.  If you can find the extra ball
    bearings in the Curado, point them out to me.  I couldn't find them. 
    If they exist they have to be in non critical areas, because the
    bearings I found were on the shaft and crank.  I guess what I am saying
    is there may be bearings I missed but they would have to be in places
    like the handle grips or some such nonsense spot that would not affect
    key things like casting or retreive.
