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.

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

Apparently Shimano shares your sentiments.

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.

How much line do you need?

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

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 !!!

What aren't I using it for? I've used it for everything from pitching jigs to throwing crankbaits. In one night I might use it to pitch a jig to a close brushpile, then use it to make a 25 yard cast along a bluff wall.
IMO it's the perfect sized spool.

So I won't regret buying one and using it for soft plastics, jigs, etc...? I want a sweet reel for my upcoming all purpose DELUXE combo but I was skeptical if a small spool like that could really be all purpose. Was also considering a Chronarch D but the line capacity is pretty much the same as the core.

I haven't regretted the purchase of the Core at all. I've done everything with the reel and have never wanted/needed more line.
I ran 15 lb. fluoro last year, stepped up to 17 lb. this year. No, it doesn't hold a lot of line (wouldn't even wager a guess as to how much), but I don't need 100 yards of line for anything I do.
I love my 50MG7 and will probably pick up a new Curado 50 to try out when they become available. 80-90 yards of line is plenty for anything I need to do while bass fishing. Cranks, spinners, jigs, buzzbaits...you name it.
The Core 50MG7 is my favorite reel...PERIOD!
However, I really like the Curado 200E7 and suspect
the new 50E will be another "everybody's favorite".
8-)

Sorry, I screwed that quote up somehow.
Ok, thanks BL. You just talked me back into wanting the Core...

I trust his opinion on gear, even if it means I'm probably going to spend a lot of money.

You won't regret it Danny boy. It is a fine fine fine reel. If I could afford it, I would have nothing but Core 50's.
Hmm this Curado 50E may spark me to try a nice finesse baitcast set up. As many on here know I hate spinning gear for the most part. I've been looking or rather wanting to have pinpoint pitching and flipping with finesse lures, but I just can't do it well on spinning yet.
The Core 50 is my favorite reel too. But for 200 bucks that Curado 50 is going to sell like hotcakes. But if you can afford it, the Core 50 is awesome, and you certainly won't regret the purchase. This reel throws light baits better than anything else I have, and I've got Daiwa's Sol, and a Shimano Chronarch 50, which both do really well too, but the Core 50 is awesome.
