- Stradic FM users - hows your reel now that youve had it a while?
The only change from Stradic FL to Stradic FM is a slight increase in spool pitch (slightly taller spool, slightly longer spindle) It shows Shimano had so well over-designed FL that they pushed their design a little farther with FM
- The new SLX DC XT - a Curado Scorpion DC killer?
Shimano usually makes sure their reels from different price point have matching level of features, but IMO this one is definitely eating up the market of the new Scorpion DC, as well as the Curado DC

- Sooo. . . . Whats the difference with the Curado 200 M Vs the Curado 150 . . .
I think Shimano did the right thing by basically offering us swimbait fisherman a Curado that is the perfect marriage of the 150 MGL and 200K 200K lacked the beefiness gears and versatility, while the 150 MGL lacked the line capacity
