I have the new Curado fast retrieve bait casts. Issue I have is the damn bearings around the pinion rod on each has went bad. I emailed Shimano. I've replaced the bearings and the new ones are rusting. It's pissing me off. I oil the bearings regularly with one drop of hot sauce. Anyone else having this issue?

200e7 or the older bantums are the legit Curados. Look every day for more on LaSportsman. Will consider Okuma Helios for next new reel tho.

Shimano Curado 201 DHSV's are all I use. I'll repair them as long as I can get parts.
