No. I would guess maybe 1/2 the weight. Check them out, they are sponsor here. HawgTech. I have them on my Curado and Chronarch 50's. They are longer, so they help with more speed. You can also use the factory knobs too.

Surprise: Gambler Big EZ (I catch 1 lbers on them too, lol) Disappointment: Chatterbaits.

Nice pig

I have to go change my underwear.

Curado 50E is spooled with 12# YoZuri. Chronarch 50E is spooled with 50# Power Pro.

Ive seen those, they look bad ****! I know they are more compact. One day I will have to find one and try it out. I hear they are great reels, wait its a Shimano, duh.

What store? How much they selling for?

Boca 7 spool bearings, a good cleaning, a supertune, and check out Mike and the HawgTech boys, those handles are great to get a little more out of the 50.

Geez, lets all just have some wine and cheese, lol. Aavery its cool, all in good fun. Hope the mods dont shut us down, lol.

No. I have two. I want a 50G to add to the collection. Even when the Es were available, people still bought them. I see your point though.

Yeah, but if they could take the new G style and mold it to a 50 size, keeping the Curado G price point, I think they could sell. Even if like aavery says to be more like the Citica. I think if they could keep the Curado 200 at that price, they can think of something to have a cheaper option for a compact reel other than the Chronarch and Core.

Yes I have fished the older Chronarchs, Cores, and Curados. I have sold those off recently. I know what you are saying when you say TRUE Chronarchs etc. Im not going to argue that there were better or not, for me they werent due to the feel. Were they smooth as hell, yes. Since then, we have moved forward, or backward depending on your views. The new ones being a better profile for my little fat fingers, is why I dont care about the past reels, and sold them all for the newer models. I get your point, and even if you are a Shimano fisher, then you would see what Im trying to say about a new G model Curado 50.

I knew this was going to happen with you non Shimano fishers. Lets say it together, G comes after E, so since the Chronarch was on E, thats the platform used, thats what we ended up with. If you knew Shimanos history with using similar platforms, you would understand. Fish a Chronarch E vs Curado E, and you WILL notice a difference. Until then, I will drink my Kool Aid and fish my Shimanos till the day I die.

First of all, the Chronarch is an E model, so you would be going backwards to make that the Curado G, do your homework, but I see your point. My point is if we can get the new G model in a 50 series for $169.95.

Currently they have the Core and Chronarch, but no Curado. The Curado is a new model, so we need a new 50.

I just use Ardent reel oil. Reapply a drop every month.

Where is this reel? Why dont they have it yet? They need to get the ball rolling.

65# braid, straight. I pitch into the slop.

It got cooler down here in Fl. Fished this morning in the canals. Caught a nice 5er first thing. Totaled about 10 in 2 hours.

Hip hip horray!

Thise are some fat smallies!

Havin 1 for you bud, lol.

Im at the Rascal Flatts concert.

No. But Im getting ready to start.

Nah. See, Shimanos last, so he will have an assortment of B, E, and G's to choose from.
