Vinny Chase Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Anyone know of deals going on for this reel? I just missed one a month back for $99... Thanks, VC Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I know Tacklewhare house has some at that price, but they are the 51's Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted November 4, 2011 Super User Posted November 4, 2011 Bass Pro has em online for 119 I think. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted November 4, 2011 Super User Posted November 4, 2011 I know Tacklewhare house has some at that price, but they are the 51's If they did, the price changed. It is $119 again. Darn! I would have jumped on that train! Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted November 6, 2011 Super User Posted November 6, 2011 Bass Pro has em online for 119 I think. Got me excited there for a second... just checked and they're $149. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah, I've seen these prices start climbing again. Maybe Shimano figured out everyone was going to start buying up the old Curados. Quote
mikeeasttn Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 If you can find a 50E by all means get one. I purchased one around 3 months ago and had it tunned. Can not really tell a lot of difference between it and the Core 50 I have in casting distance and retreive. The Core feels a little more refined and really has a better retrieve but the Curado is close. Quote
Packard Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 There is one on the flea market for $110. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 10, 2011 Super User Posted November 10, 2011 There is one on the flea market for $110. I bought it for $110 delivered. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Quote
Ern Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Still don't see the excitement over the 50..... the 200 just fit me better. Quote
Fat-G Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Still don't see the excitement over the 50..... the 200 just fit me better. And I couldn't stand the 200E. Felt really wide in my hands and wasn't smooth at all on the retrieve. It was a great reel, honestly, and if I fished tourney's for a living you can bet the new Chronarch's would occupy my rod lockers, but for recreational fishing it just wasn't for me. Traded it for a 50E and will never look back. The 50 is a very, very special reel. Quote

I'm debating buying either one of the 50 sized reels or a new spinning reel for finesse plastic presentations. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted November 14, 2011 Super User Posted November 14, 2011 Got me excited there for a second... just checked and they're $149. They were on sale. I guess they stopped before you could get to 'em. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted November 14, 2011 Super User Posted November 14, 2011 how light of a weight can the 50 handle? I'm debating buying either one of the 50 sized reels or a new spinning reel for finesse plastic presentations. I have 12# Vanish on mine and it will cast a weightless Fluke without a problem. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2011 Super User Posted November 14, 2011 Well, I own a few Shimano reels... The E50 compares favorably with the Core 50MG. Almost sad, but true. :D Quote
Fat-G Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Well, I own a few Shimano reels... The E50 compares favorably with the Core 50MG. Almost sad, but true. :D Yep, I recently fished a 50E next to a Core 50MG7. The only difference (to me), was that the Core was a tiny bit smoother on the retrieve. Certainly not enough to justify the price difference. Like I said, the Curado 50E is a special reel. Quote
endless Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 /still Vinny if have too don't shy away from the 200 if can get for a deal! I love my 200E5 but good luck and your search and wish you the best!! Let us know if find the deal for 50E or what you settle with? Quote
Pilgrim Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I have a 51E for sale on the flea market for $110 TYD. I bought it from American Lagacy (have receipt)and it is NIB. I only took it out to look at it and don't like the smaller size fit in my hand. Looks like a nice reel other than that. Quote

I love my 200E5 but good luck and your search and wish you the best!! Let us know if find the deal for 50E or what you settle with? I am not shying away from the 200 series at all, in fact I have about 6 all together. I just like the 50e for my pitching and jig rods. They fit so nicely into my hand and I don't need to extra line for those techniques. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Pilgrim, Looking for a righty, but thanks for the heads up. VC Quote

Hayden, call me and I will meet you somewhere to fish. I have my 50E supertuned with bearings and drag upgrades. She is nice! Quote
rubba bubba Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Had a Core, sold it; currently have 3 51's. The Core was absolutely gorgeous though, unlike the painful hunter green. Btw, looks like Academy is going to be selling the 50's for $99 on Black Friday. Quote
