GaterB Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Does anyone think Shimano will release a 50 size in the new curado/chronarch series of reels?? Quote
bootytrain Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I predict in about a year or 2. Over the last few years Shimano has been steadily revamping its freshwater lineup. The Curado/Chronarch E body came out about a year before the Core 50/Aldebaran body. So logically the 50 size should be next. 1 Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Yumeya is releasing an aftermarket spool for the scorpion/curado I. I don't know if it will be lighter or shallower, but that could be the only option for a smaller line capac. curado. I want to see a curado 50I built on the BFS platform with the spool tension under the sideplate. Quote
MediumHeavy Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 No 50 size in 2014 for the USDM. There are apparently more reels being released this year. Not sure about the JDM. This info is coming from Bantam1 on another forum. Quote
BenB54 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I know Shimano isn't going to do it but, I wouldn't mind seeing a 100 series reel in the new curado lineup. Definitely excited about the possibility of a 50 though. Quote
down4ttown Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I think the 200 feels great, but whatever they decide will work for me. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 The 50 sized reels generally come a couple of years after the full sized models. Quote
bflp3 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Why don't they have more 50 sized options? They seem really popular on forums. Do they not really sell as well as the 200s? Quote
John G Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Japan Tackle says 2015 for the new Conquest 50. Quote
bootytrain Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Why don't they have more 50 sized options? They seem really popular on forums. Do they not really sell as well as the 200s? What options are you looking for? They come in 5.8, 7.0, and 8.0 ratios, and a bfs model. Quote
bflp3 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 What options are you looking for? They come in 5.8, 7.0, and 8.0 ratios, and a bfs model. I'm only seeing 50s available for the chronarch and core, and even then each one only comes in one gear ratio. Would be cool if there were more, but that probably dramatically increases their costs.

John G Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 The JDM Aldebaran MG7 and the Aldebaran BFS and the Scorpion XT1000. Japan Tackle has the XT1000 for $199.00. It can be found cheaper than that if you look hard enough. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it essentially the same reel as a Curado 50E. I would say it's the nicer of the two. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah, I would love to see a 7 or 8 to 1 gear ratio 50. Quote
Drewski73 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah, I would love to see a 7 or 8 to 1 gear ratio 50. The core50 mg7 is a 7 to 1 ratio. Ive put the core gear sets in a couple of my curado 50e's. Its a nice $30 upgrade. 1 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 I think ultimately they'll retire the Core and just move forward with the Metanium. They'll probably bring the Aldeberan over here at ICast to complete the lineup. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 You can never really know what Shimano will /won't do They can't even suppy the current customer base. It will likely be a Full year before everyone who would like to have a curado I will Get a chance for one. There's no reason for it, I guess shimano knows better Than there customers. Skippy Quote

Skippy I doubt it will take that long. They did a good job building up hype, but it will die down soon enough and supply will catch up. It like people sleeping outside of Apple stores to get the iPhone on release day. Wait a couple weeks and you can just stop by and pick one up. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 Yea... Ok... When you just leisurely stroll in to Wherever and get one.... Post back It will not happen I am not exactly sure why... But it's going to be more like many months Rather than weeks Quote

But it's going to be more like many months Rather than weeks They'd have to have terrible supply chain issues or have severely underestimated demand for that to happen. Either way, they'd only be losing sales as I'm sure a lot of guys will just buy something else if they aren't available. We'll see what happens. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 Yes... Fisherman will Lilkely buy another product.. And maybe they should But Iam certain The curado I will be slow.... .. Like molasses in the winter time! Quote

Would be cool if there were more, but that probably dramatically increases their costs. I totally forgot about the 6.4 ratio. The JDM Aldebaran comes in 5.8 and 7.0, the Aldebaran BFS comes in 8.0 and has a slightly different design. You are only looking at the USDM market. Think globally. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 I don't know what I am supposedly wishing for? Quote
bootytrain Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I don't know what I am supposedly wishing for? That the curado supply will be limited and people will buy something else? Quote
