I'm looking into getting a Revo SX, Lews Bb1, or Curado baitcaster. Which reel would you get? And what is the most versatile gear ratio?

Curado.

I had a revo for about 8 months before it blew up.

I would get a Revo over the new Curado's. Or get a chronarch. The new curados just feel like shite.

Like most people have said Curado. I have been told to look at the Lews tournament reel, have not bought one yet though.

Curado, I don't understand why so many people don't like the new ones they work fine for me.

never used a Garcia but last month I bought a shamino citica and a guy I work with bought a Curado. the citica was nice but felt cheap. I did some research and bought a Lew's tournament MG. with 3 cast of the Lew's I knew I wanted to return the citica. I now own 2 Lew's and my coworker has one too. wore out the bass the other week with the Lew's and it worked perfectly. Using the same pole, line and bait, my Lew's casts further and a lot smoother
EDIT: I got the 6.4:1 ratio and I threw big spinners and rattle traps through grass all day.
