I heard a rumor at a large ,well known outdoor store that a CORE size CURADO is going to be introduced at the ICAST show. Anyone else her any thing about this ?   

he's probably referring to cal over at tackletour speculating that shimano may bring over their JDM scorpion 1000/1001 XT which is basically an alumimnum-framed core 50/51 MG.

Nope, I'm in St. Louis. But that is a possibility.

The aluminum model Core in a Curado is what I'm thinking is coming.Kinda like the Chronarch MG and the Curado 100D

Those two pretty much sum up the specualtion, now wether or not they actually bring it over is another story but I would put like a 90% chance that they will.

Depending on price, it might make me try a Shimano.   

Curado 50/51E

$199.99

6.9 ounces

6.4:1/ 25 IPT

10 pounds max drag

7 bearings (1 S-ARB)

Mono 10/105, 12/85, 14/70

Power Pro 20/115, 30/105, 65/80

I wish they would make a regular size Curado with a gear ratio in between the two they already have.

Amen

Easy enough to purchase a 200E7 or 5, purchase Citica E gearing and replace.

Apparently Shimano shares your sentiments.

Genetic defects aren't their problem.

When you put it that way, I guess we do have a drinking problem 'round here.  ;D  Still no reason for Shimano to discriminate against alcoholic babies.

hope it comes in 7 to 1 soon.  i guess the core 7to1 gears would work in it.

There's 3" of IPT difference between the 6.4:1 Curado 50 and the 7.01:1 Core 50.

You know what WOULD be great? A high end Shimano LP reel that has a decent amount of line capacity.

interesting, i didn't look into it like that.  I guess i was comparing to the 200 e.  thanks for the info

How much line do you need?

More than 90 yards of 12lb test. I want something I can put a lot of 15-17lb test on.

I've never needed more line than what I can fit on my Core 50.  And I use 17 lb. fluorocarbon on it.

I agree Dan.  I don't flip, and I rarely pitch; most of my fishing is comprised of making long casts off of our dock.

What are you using it for?

my opinion is to buy a Revo Premier , same or slightly lighter reel with all the line capacity you need , plus it is not fugly green !!! ;D 8-)

plus the new Premiers are gonna have a 7.1 gearing !!!
