Awesome! I am ordering some  orange seal bearings today for it

I wouldn't know whether to fish it of frame it. A truly awesome reel. Great thread.

11.5 grams is an extremely light spool.....lighter than a Daiwa Pixy (the standard by which all finesse reels are judged).

How much do they weigh when they are full of line?

I think the point is that even full, they are lighter than other spools since it's a lighter spool...  well more so since they hold so little line.   :

Spent most of the night using the reel to throw a jig. Took a bit of time to adjust, it is quite a bit more free than the Curado. Throws a 1/4 oz. jig better than the Curado as well.

First fish on the reel? A 3 lb. smallie.

Again, Great Post!

Alright, STOP! My God! Bronzefly informed me on this whole "super tune reel" thing. This is sick...you guys will make me broke! ;D

So ummmm....hi-perf bearings you say?

I agree, great post.

You guys gotta get one of these reels, it just plain out of this world sick. I cant stop fishing with mine, havent touched an other reel in the past 2 days. I'll be ordering another one soon, just wish they offered a 6.x ratio in addition to the 7.

Hey, Bantam1 any idea if there is a 6.x ratio on the drawing board?

BTW, can anyone say from experience how it compares to the chronarch 50mg.

Well, mine will be here Wednesday .  Now I'm gonna have a few nights of restless sleep waiting for it to arrive.

I guess it's time to start building the new GLX for it.

The Aldebaran is offered in 5.8:1 in Japan.  I've been thinking about seeing what it would take to get a set of those gears.  The only bad thing is that it would mean buying another Core 50.

I think a lot of people are waiting to hear that comparison.  I am still fond of the Chronarch MG50.  I just don't see that Core being that much better.  Considering my MG50, with ceramic spool bearings, can cast any lure that I own; it's hard to replace a winner like that.

You don't "replace" the CH50MG, you simply add

the Core 50MG to your collection!
