I'm thinking about putting together a heavy pitching set up in the next few months and wanted to get a few opions on the above reels. Both are around the same price with the Metanium being on the ligher side. I have two Core 100MG's and love both of them to death. I was thinking of stepping up a bit in speed over the 100MG though. Which would be a better reel for pitching into the nasty cover. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback man! I see what your talking about now. I have a few tabs of blue I will try and mix in. The base tab is a living image water craw and I put a tab of fire tip orange/brown to get the orange on the belly, but it was too much and kinda got mixed in. i will try a half tab of the orange and a half tab of blue. That may get it and keep me around 60 so its not to thick .

Thanks. Yep, I got the heads from Mike. I can't say enough about the quality of this head. Just out of curiousity, why blue?

What IPT reel do you recommend for it?

Mitch, No offense here brother, but if that were the case, braid would have been put to death a long time ago.

Let me know what you guys think if you don't mind. With Chris at North Stars shutting down web sales, I had to make my own I go through too many jigs. With the help of Glenn's video I think I have it sorta down. Here is the link to what the Blue Gill look like in my area. http://okiefish.com/TheBluegillPerch.htm And here is my jig I think I may have to much orange in the body. I was trying to get it on the belly of the jig, but I'm still learning.

Congratulations man!

I'd like the option to see the colors of the heads and skirts in a large view. When ordering heads, anyway we could get a larger option for heads with a discount. Like if we bought 20 heads etc?

I have never caught a Bass on there. The Crappie is supposed to be decent in the spring though.

I can't see them parting with the Core just yet. The Metanium is at the 400 dollar mark so who really knows. They have been pushing the micro gearing pretty hard, so who knows. I sure as heck hope not though. I love my two Core's

I can't think of the name of it either, but I've seen it used. Rippin, that hook or even better the Gammy Skip Gap hook works well too. It has the shelf the hook that holds it in place very well.

I frequent a few different forums and most everyone agrees that for the money the PQ is hands down the best buy. What gear ratio did you get?

One day an Audi and a Mustang bumped uglys……behold what arrived!

Excellent info and video guys. I remember that video Franco. That is what made my start cleaning my own reels. Not to take away from DVT or any other pro tuners. Cleaning and properly lubing it will make it literally feel like brand new reel provided nothing else is wrong.

I have pretty limited time with it and jerkbaits altogether, but it came pretty recommended for them too.

I don't think it will turn into a hate thread. At least that wasn't my intention. I want to get one really bad and still may pretty soon to bite the bullet, but I've been burned pretty bad in the past without letting the bugs get worked out. I agree with you on the G series DelcoSol.

Me personally and keep in mind I run all Shimano reels now, I'd go with the E6 or E7. I am still kinda leary on the new Ci4+. Nothing has convienced me or lead me to think its not a good reel, but the E series has proven itsself and had plenty of time to work the bugs out. The Ci4+ is still fairly new. Just my opinion.

Thanks. Man I wish someone local had one. No one stocks Dobyns here. I guess I need to see how a 7 foot rod works for me.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. I want to switch up to braid for my jerkbaits with a mono or fluoro leader and want that extra flex.
