Don’t Let Your Partner Bring Their Shimano Curado 200 E7 Fishing Reel
As a serious fisherman, one of my true pleasures is fishing from my boat. I’m the captain of my ship. I decide where we’re going to fish, for how long, and most importantly, I get first shot at all the choice fishing cover. Every fisherman that sits up front usually tries to give their partner in the back access to some fresh water.
Let’s face it, you drove, you shelled out the $40,000 for a top of the line bass boat. You are darn right; I’m casting first at that log lying majestically in the water. That log is calling me. I know, the log knows, and even the bass knows he’s about to be mine.
I’ve eyed up my target. I’m just about ready to launch the perfect cast just past my target when all of the sudden….I hear the blades of a spinnerbait come within an inch of my ear from the back of the boat. I turn around to look and my partner has just launched a cast almost straight down the length of my boat and right to my picture perfect log.
If you ever watched the television show, Ultimate Match Fishing, you know that cast deserves a penalty just like on the show. However, we’re out fun fishing. No penalties can be assessed, just utter disbelief.
Now once I’ve cooled down and forced to take a picture of his lunker, that should have been mine, I started trying to figure out how he cast a so far. He’s 20 feet behind me and I thought I had him out of range. Then it hit me. I looked at his reel. It was this shiny new greenish Shimano Curado 200 E7. I’m using the Shimano Curado 100D, a very fine reel, however, I was out gunned.
After the day was over, I started researching this new edition from Shimano. The Curado 200 E7 has a much larger spool allowing more line capacity. Also, the Shimano Curado 200 E7 has a 7:1 retrieve ratio. My Curado 100D only has a 6.3:1. My partner was casting farther and reeling in his casts faster, hence, getting in many more casts than me.
As captain of my ship I have a new policy in place. No Shimano Curado 200 E7 reels allowed…except for the eight of them I now own!

would it be bad if i use my bass rod and reel for inshore saltwater fishing?
Its a shimano curado reel with a shimano crucial rod. the reel is rated for saltwater use.
Of course not, it would not be bad..
Even if the reel is freshwater it can be used with great success in saltwater. Reels have come a long way from 50- 40 years ago and still those from that era are working fine with proper care.
Freshwater reels used in freshwater, if not taken care will end up rusting too. Another example I seen over and over is people thinking since they don't use the reel in saltwater it will be fine, yes if the reel is cared for. Freshwater will rust stainless steel ball bearings just as fast as saltwater or salt in the air. All rods and reels should be given a rinse under low pressure after freshwater fishing and let to dry. Humidity is another killer, so keep your gear well ventilated, not in a rod or reel case. Reels and rods that will see saltwater use, will need hot soapy water and scrub gently to remove any salt crystals, let dry or dry with a terry or cotton cloth. Don't soak your reel in water. I've tested many brand name stainless steel ball bearings sealed and not, they don't do well under repeated soakings and this is mainly because the balls in the bearing are not stainless steel. There are no reels that is 100% corrosion proof basically a reel has so many different metal parts that electrolysis, builds up. Electrolysis is also a problem in rods if not built properly. Freshwater reels used in a saltwater environment should be taken apart once a month for heavy use or every three months and properly cleaned and lubed.
The bottom line is with proper and correct care you shall be able to use any freshwater reel in a saltwater environment. Don't forget if you're to store your reel for a long period of time loosen the drag.
