Hoytman#1 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Looking to buy several new reels for the up coming season. Trying to pick between the Shimano Curado 200E and the Core 50MG7. I have several Shimano Chronarch 50MG's and love em. They are just hard to find now and most are asking full retail or more. So I guess my question is are the Core 50MG7 reels really worth the extra $175 each? They sure feel very similar to what i use now so that is one buying point. Any advice thanks. Quote
Bronzefly Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I have and use both regularly. I use them for very different purposes though. I like the Core 50 as a pitching reel - lighter baits up to 1/2 oz jigs, plastics, etc. It will handle moving baits just fine as well. I tend to use the Curado for larger stuff - football jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, bigger topwaters, spoons, etc... Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 8, 2009 Super User Posted December 8, 2009 Get both Yup. I guarantee you'll find room for both. Bronzefly hit it on the head. Quote
