I guess it depends on how much you like this girl Ray. Knowing you, I would spend the extra money and get a Curado 300E. That way you get to keep the girl and for you just having a girlfriend is quite the accomplishment.

This is really something. you just don't hear Ray and girlfriend in the same sentence too often. Our Ray is growing up right in front of us. Your making my eyes water a little Ray. Fidler and I are so proud!

Seriously buy her a Curado300E. It's the best reel on the market right now. I threw Mag Bulldawgs all fall with mine and it holds up better than any reel I've tried. I wore the thumb bar down on mine and that's it. All the other reels I've tried have broke down in less than half the time including the ones that cost twice as much. Don't make her throw Cowgirls with it though. She'll break up with you for sure. It's just not made for that.
