[LaAngler]

i heard revo's still had corrosion issues

[shellman]

Curado e7 or ABU revo inshore, both good reels .

[J.D.L]

What you could do is buy a couple of curado B's off ebay and have them serviced if needed, and it would be just a little bit over the price of a new Curado E.

[fishmaster911]

I'm bout to get my gun out ! Thoes birds r all over the place today, must be this cool weather getting to yall. Lmao

Does anyone who owns a Shimano Chronarch 100D, Core 50MG7, and a Curado 200E like the Curado better than the others?

:trolls:

[Choupique]

This is a joy to fish with... I ain’t saying its in everyones budget, but its bad ***. Everyonce and a while you can find a lightly used on on ebay or certain forums.

http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimmetmgdc.html

[jlincecum]

has anyone fished with the Core 50 yet??

[Nasty]

The new citica's aren't bad either.

[Cynoscion33]

has anyone fished with the Core 50 yet??

I've got 3 of them, only reel I fish anymore, my other ones are feeling neglected. :grinpimp:

[all star rod]

I was told the CORE is for freshwater only!!! Again someone that owns a place that sells fishing supplies told me this. BTW, I looked at the new Chronarch 100D7 reels.....SWEET.....but a little to much $$$$ for me.

[jlincecum]

Shimano says it is approved for saltwater use. i use my 100mg and havent had any issues with it.

[Cynoscion33]

No issues with the CORE Mg50's and I've been throwing them for almost a year.

I haven't thrown the Chronies much but, compared to a Curado, the Calais CL100A with 7:1 gear ratio and 11 bearings is a total piece of crap. :smokin:

You sure it was a Core? :smokin:

[BossHog]

I have only heard of a couple people having problems with the core corroding it seems better than the mgs in saltwater. And the only difference in the new chronarch and core is the frame, magnesium vs aluminum. Personaly I wont put any of my cores or mgs in saltwater anymore their strickly my freshwater reels. Only use chronarchs and calasises for salt now.

Core = MG.

Yes I know but they are holding up better than the orginal chronarch mgs that first came out

Gotcha.

[Cynoscion33]

what do you do to them after each trip??

Per Shimano's instructions:

1. Tighten the drag all the way down
2. Place the reel where the spool is centered under GENTLY running fresh water and reel for approximately 30 seconds
3. Wipe the reel off with a soft towel and loosen the drag all the way open.
4. Let reel air-dry.

The trick is to keep the reel right side up while under the running water so that you do not flood the internal workings of the reel. I also take my reels in for professional cleanings after approximately 10-12 trips as needed...

please do not listen to the tackle shop commando's

they are as bad as the "guy" behind the gun counter, most do their fishing on the inshore lure isle and live vicariously thru the customers.....
