Curado E7 vs. Revo SX

I have both. You really can't go wrong with either. You can cast a mile with either one, the Revo is a tad smoother if it's smoother at all. The magnetic brakes on the SX are a bitch to get used to using, compared to centrifugal brakes, but once I got it right I've been able to pick up and cast it a mile in 10+ mph wind without adjustment. I haven't fished in a sick wind with the Curado yet so I can't comment on that.

You really can't make the wrong choice here both are great reels

ETA the Revo SX I have isn't the high speed like the E7, it's the 6.4:1 gear ratio. Not that I think it makes a difference in performance.

My SX is almost a year old and I have three Revo S's ranging from 1-3 years old. Never had a problem with any of them, I take pretty decent care of my gear. The only issue I've had with any Abu Garcia product actually is with a silver max I bought 4 years ago refurbished that shat out on me recently. The Revos are nearly bulletproof with limited maintenance, I wouldn't let longevity be a factor in choosing either the Revo or the Curado, they should both hold up just fine.

Cant go wrong with either but I would go with the SX. I have 5 of them and absolutely love them.

I couldn't be any happier with my Curado. About two years old now and I have never had a single problem. But like most said you can't really go wrong with either. I'd recommend you try to take both out and see which one you like better on the water. That's the only way you would know for sure

Used curados for years. Bought a pflueger supreme a couple of years ago and liked it so much i bought two more. Best performing reel I have ever owned. I think they replaced the supreme with the president.
