nralover Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Is the larger Core a niche type reel, or just a high end casting reel? I saw one on Ebay brand new for cheaper than I can get a Chronarch, and was just curious about your opinions... Quote
fishinflip415 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 It's definately a very versatile reel. You can use it pretty much for any technique except maybe big swimbaits. Quote
BMoore Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 It's an awesome reel. Prices have come down a bit on em because they've been out a little while and everybody is buying the new 50 right now. The 100 is pretty much a lighter version of the chronarch. My d7 feels just a touch smoother than my core 100 though. I'm not really sure why. Quote

It depends on how much less than 300 you will be getting it for. If it's only 5 or 10 bucks then I would hold out for the 50mg which I got brand new off of ebay for 305. If you are getting the 100 for 275 or 280, then I would certainly go for the 100. I have the 100 mgfv and love it. Quote
fishinflip415 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I've seen em from $250-285 depending on condition Quote
uicdent11 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 If you have a bing.com account you can get them for the buy it now price minus 8%. Just got a Core 51Mg for $190 plus $10 shipping minus $23. Pretty good for $275. You might be able to find a Core 100Mg for even less if you look around. I have a D7 and it is plenty light for me and it is buttery smooth. You can get them for $245 shipped before cashback. Quote
Bronzefly Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 So if I can get it shipped to my door for less than 300, it is a great deal? I would say no. If I had a choice between a new Chronarch D7 and a new Core 100MG(FV), I'd pick the Chronarch D series every time. It is the better overall reel in my hands, not lighter though! The Core 100MG(FV) is a quality reel, no doubt. The Core 50/51MG7 is an absolutely incredible reel that is MUCH different than the 100 sized Core models. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 For those who like the more traditional reel size, he Core 100MG is a great choice. I happen to prefer the Core 50MG7, but I am fishing both. Mine were purchased from members on our Flea Market. I think I paid about $280 NIB, delivered. 8-) Quote
midnighthrasher Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I have a core 100 flipping and i love it!!! killer reel. We'l see how it is compared to the new core 50's. I will be getting two in a month or so. Quote
