Just wanted to get some feedback about this reel. I would be needing the left hand version, the 51.

Just wanted to get some feedback about this reel. I would be needing the left hand version, the 51.

That's what I have and I love it! Although, I wont be able to give it a real thorough test until June.

Good luck!

Bit the bullet & bought/ordered an MG51 from an ebay seller.  Brand new reel & other people who have bought the same reel are very happy w/ their purchase from this seller.

Also the MG51 was a bit cheaper than if I bought from ***, not much but I saved $30 from retail for a new Chronarch MG51.

Now I just have to place an order for the Carrot Stix 6'9" MH baticast rod from ***.

I have the Shimano Cumara 6'8" medium, extra fast baitcast rod & having the Curado 101D felt light.  Mounting the MG51 on this rod will make it really light...floating away light.  I did intend to have the MG51 on the Carrot Stix...

I'm sure you'll be very happy with your purchase!

I loved my 50 Mg. I regret selling it, but I needed the money. It was the best casting reel that I ever used. For me, it was next to impossible to backlash.

Great reel.

Awesome reels, I have 4 of them.

I just ordered one.  I have had it two or three weeks.  It is crazy light and super smooth.  The only draw back is that it reels so smooth that it is weird.  I kind of like some kind of feedback/resistance when reeling a bait in.  There is none in this reel.  That is probably appealing to most people but is a little hard to get used to to me.  Not a bad problem to have to get used to I guess.
