If they did, the price changed. It is $119 again. Darn! I would have jumped on that train!

Got me excited there for a second... just checked and they're $149.
WdyCrankbait reply :
Yeah, I've seen these prices start climbing again. Maybe Shimano figured out everyone was going to start buying up the old Curados.

If you can find a 50E by all means get one. I purchased one around 3 months ago and had it tunned. Can not really tell a lot of difference between it and the Core 50 I have in casting distance and retreive. The Core feels a little more refined and really has a better retrieve but the Curado is close.
Packard reply :
There is one on the flea market for $110.

Still don't see the excitement over the 50..... the 200 just fit me better.

And I couldn't stand the 200E. Felt really wide in my hands and wasn't smooth at all on the retrieve. It was a great reel, honestly, and if I fished tourney's for a living you can bet the new Chronarch's would occupy my rod lockers, but for recreational fishing it just wasn't for me.
Traded it for a 50E and will never look back. The 50 is a very, very special reel.

how light of a weight can the 50 handle? I'm debating buying either one of the 50 sized reels or a new spinning reel for finesse plastic presentations.

They were on sale. I guess they stopped before you could get to 'em.

I have 12# Vanish on mine and it will cast a weightless Fluke without a problem.
roadwarrior reply :
Well, I own a few Shimano reels...
The E50 compares favorably with the Core 50MG.
Almost sad, but true.
:D

Yep, I recently fished a 50E next to a Core 50MG7. The only difference (to me), was that the Core was a tiny bit smoother on the retrieve. Certainly not enough to justify the price difference.
Like I said, the Curado 50E is a special reel.

/still Vinny if have too don't shy away from the 200 if can get for a deal! I love my 200E5 but good luck and your search and wish you the best!! Let us know if find the deal for 50E or what you settle with?
Pilgrim reply :
I have a 51E for sale on the flea market for $110 TYD.
I bought it from American Lagacy (have receipt)and it is NIB. I only took it out to look at it and don't like the smaller size fit in my hand. Looks like a nice reel other than that.

I am not shying away from the 200 series at all, in fact I have about 6 all together. I just like the 50e for my pitching and jig rods. They fit so nicely into my hand and I don't need to extra line for those techniques.
Vinny Chase reply :
Pilgrim,
Looking for a righty, but thanks for the heads up.

Hayden, call me and I will meet you somewhere to fish. I have my 50E supertuned with bearings and drag upgrades. She is nice!

Had a Core, sold it; currently have 3 51's. The Core was absolutely gorgeous though, unlike the painful hunter green.
Btw, looks like Academy is going to be selling the 50's for $99 on Black Friday.

I used my Curado 51E for the first time today. Would have to find the package, but the lure weight was either 3/16 or 1/8 oz. The reel was mounted on a 6'6" Medium Falcon Elite. It zinged it out there quite a ways. Better than what I've been able to do with my Alphas ito on a Zillion 6'6" Medium Extra Fast rod. Reel didn't require as much concentration as the ito does to achieve that distance without fear of overruns either. Impressed me! 
The ito has 8 lb. P-Line CX and the 51E 8 lb. Trilene XL.
DVT cleaned it for me before I spooled it with line. I forgot to have Mike upgrade to Carbontex drag while he had it. Can't say how it handles fish. First I have to catch one. Fishing has really sucked the last 3 times I've been out.

I agree with the ugly green color. That and the small knobs are the only things I find wrong with the reel. I really do not like the small knobs. I wish it came with a 4BB handle with the Power Grips, and a much different color. Anything but green!

the 200E is a great reel, i have one and it is amazing, it is very smooth on the retrieve. the new chronarch is the same as the 200E just with a different paint job, and a few tweaks and a higher price tag. you can check if you want but the 200e chronarch weighs the same as the 200e curado
Hi Salenity reply :
I like the looks of the Chronarch a lot but at twice the price I'll fish the Green one. At least until the monkey tells me I'd catch more fish with the White one...
Vinny Chase reply :
Like Hi Salenity asked, is that Academy sale on the curados going to be online?
rubba bubba reply :
I have no idea if Academy will have them online - my recommendation is to call them. Here is the add scan:
