Anyone got any news? rumors? pics?

No such animal yet. Would be nice though.

Hootie

Not in the plans anytime soon.

Last I read was not likely either, but it would be sweet... Too sweet!!

I'll be happy with a lefty cranking version.

I'll take 3 please......

I will take several as well. It would be an absolute crime if there wasn't a 50/51 I.

I dunno. I'm still very happy with the CH51E. I don't know how much there is to improve that cannot already be done using aftermarket parts.

Yea I must say that I am too. It is a sweet reel to say the least. However, imagine how great it would be with SVS Infinity and x-ship! We have yet to see a 50/51 with SVS infinity so we can only imagine how nice it would be.

I want to get one of each of the different models before they get replaced, 2 down, 4 to go.

I have a couple of the prototypes. They are unreal. Should be available at 2016 ICast.

LOL yeah right

aprw1, nobody lies on fishing boards.  Cut me some slack!  LOL

It took a couple of years for the CU 50e's to come out, give it some time.

If they just added a 6 pin svs infinity and xship to the existing body it would be the perfect reel.

Bantam 1 says not likely but he has been misinformed (kept out of the loop) before so let's hope that is the case this time.

I would expect to see it in the Jdm market before here. According to Shimano US anglers want robust reels with large lune capacities. Sigh
