I got mine from my sister in Japan, but a friend just emailed me that couple are available from an Ebay store, search speedmaster 200. Anyways, dont want this topic to get hijacked into where to get reels. More I think about it, for those thinking of getting them and/or replacing all your older curados, it's good to consider how the weight will affect your outfit. Whether you have custom rods or factory rods, if you were very happy with the way your outfit balanced with the older curados, then I would definitely take into account how that might change if you switched to the new curados. FYI, the curado D 200 weights 9.8oz, while the curado 200BSF weighs 8.5oz, significant difference if you ask me. I dont frog fish much, but I have heard that the new curado 200 balances well with some of the longer frog rods, and that cranking power really helps. About the large side plate, I wonder if they could in the future make reels with the gears shifted slightly forward, kind of like their Toriums and Trinidads.
