robster80 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 anyone heard of or own this reel? came across some listed on the auction site. never before heard of it til now. nice looking little reel. high ratio and has the bigger power knobs Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 31, 2015 Super User Posted March 31, 2015 Looks like a g series Curado to me. I think at that price I would opt for a 200I or a Scorpion 200I Quote
curtis9 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 It's a 50e series reel with a high gear ratio and a shallow spool Quote
Arv Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I Almost bought one a little while back. It struck me as a reel very similar to my aldebaran bfs, just different ratio and salt water compatible if I remember correctly. If it's anything like the Aldebaran it should be a fun little finesse reel with a lot of versatility. There are some reviews out the if you use the ol' Google Quote
The Budget Fisherman Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The spool design is made to handle light braid. It was made for the Australian brimm market. Quote
bootytrain Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Its a saltwater BFS reel, using the same body and frame of the Chronarch 50 Quote
bass1980 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Basically a chronarch 50 but It has 7.7:1 gears and also it has this unique spool. Not only is it shallow it's also narrow. The idea is its used with thin diameter braids so it helps prevent line digging. I thought about getting one for weightless senko on 20lb braid but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 31, 2015 Super User Posted March 31, 2015 I've highly debated getting one of these for the past few months. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Quote
masterbass Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I have enough finesse casters, but if I was to get another I'd probably pick one up. I have an scorpion xt with an avail spool, hh airs and core gears. With all the money I've spent I could've picked up a brenious and saved some cash. Quote
coak Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I really like the looks of this reel. I must also say that the 8 block braking system has me intrigued compared to the standard 6. Quote
robster80 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 im tempted to try one for my flipping setup when i get a rod. never owned a core tho so its btwn this and the core 50mg7 Quote
John G Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 im tempted to try one for my flipping setup when i get a rod. never owned a core tho so its btwn this and the core 50mg7 I would get the Core. The Brenious with it's shallow spool will limit your casting range if/when you cast with it and the Core will not. Quote
curtis9 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The core will give you the option of switching to a shallow spool. I don't think the brenious can use the standard spools from the other 50 sized reels. You can get the avail or yumeya spools to fit the core. Quote
dam0007 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Any one use this reel for drop shotting 3/16oz and less? Or use straight fluorocarbon rather than braid and leader? Quote
Super User tomustang Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 It's got a very limited use, the gears are sure nice and fit in other 50's e-body reels Quote
dam0007 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 It's got a very limited use, the gears are sure nice and fit in other 50's e-body reelsLooks like the perfect reel for sight and bed fishing finesse presentations. Quote
bootytrain Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 TT just posted a review on it last week. Quote
dam0007 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 TT just posted a review on it last week. really? I'm gonna check it out! Thanks Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 TT just posted a review on it last week. Not a very good review, if I remember correctly. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 I have enough finesse casters, but if I was to get another I'd probably pick one up. I have an scorpion xt with an avail spool, hh airs and core gears. With all the money I've spent I could've picked up a brenious and saved some cash. I'm in the same boat. More "finesse" reels than I needed before breaking down and buying a real one when TW closed out the PXL/PXR. Supertuning and upgraded bearings for some reels plus a Presso spool for one of my Sol reels. Also a TD-Z105H with an upgraded spool. Time to strip the line off at least 2 or 3 and go heavier so they can be used on Medium power rods. No way do I want (or need) to invest in a finesse spool for my Scorpion. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 I wouldn't get the Brenious. The review was poor, the price is higher than other 50 series reels like the Curado and Chronarch. Outisde of the gears I see no reason to own this reel. Quote
John G Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 . Outisde of the gears I see no reason to own this reel. Saltwater fishing Quote
a1712 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 The gear sets w/the related parts can be purchased from Japan Tackle. I installed 2 sets along with Metanium XG handle assemblies into 2 Scorpion XT1000's and they're static bait dreams. Brian. Quote
thehooligan Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Saltwater fishing When I fish the back bays I use an old spinning combo, (hate using nice gear in salt) but I have thought about the brenny. For freshwater, I'd definitely spend the extra money and go with the bfs xg or core/Aldebaran with finesse spool... Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Saltwater fishing Sure, but given the size of some saltwater fish that could even be incidental catches there isn't a lot of line capacity. Quote
