If you're looking to spend that kind of money, there are a couple core 50mg's on eBay. That's probably my favorite overall reel.

found this online, curado 70 looks like it would work perfect. (I have a 200i, which feels very small to me)

Wow, pic is really worth a thousand words.  That's a big difference!  It's also the way I'm leaning right now.

The 50s are great as well and have lots of tuning options.

 

Can I get in your will?  That's a Shimano collection even I'd be proud to use!

You might be able to demo the Curado 70 to see if it would work.

That photo still leaves out a Alde 50mg and another modded Scorpion 1000xt. I would put you in the will but I would probably crawl out of my grave to the thought of you stripping all the bling off to make them "old fashioned" for ya to pair with those St Croixs!

Danggg! Thats quite the 50 collection you have there!

Don't forget about the 12 Aldebaran BFS and 15 aldebaran BFS limited.

Both have a flatter palm side which is easier for small hands to grasp.

Not to mention, both are very nice reels.

Well, just hold on a minute here!  I promise I won't de-bling the reels if you will the rods along with them. In your honor they would never set on a St. Croix rod! I've more respect for you than that!?
