How did this post go from a Fuego to an Alphas? I just want a reel to throw cranks that I don't throw that often anyway. Just don't want an expensive reel sitting in the rod locker.

Thanks

Have a Dobyns spinning rod but I just don't like the reel seat that far back.

I believe he still posts over at BBC

There are quite a few of good casting reels made from Aluminum that weigh less than 7oz, but for some reason Daiwa can't seem to make one unless it is over $300 and is magnesium or Zaion. I have four Smoke 100 reels that are all aluminum, and weight 6.2oz. yea but they're not Daiwas or Shimanos :lol:

Man am I getting bad. Just realized I posted this one already!

Jim has started up Rocky Ledge tackle again. His spinnerbaits are second to none IMO. All pewter heads. Great colors. Just Goggle Rocky Ledge Tackle.

Some good fishing out here and meeting up with a few guys. Thanks

the CH 50E, Curado 50E, Core 50, Scorpion XT1000 all have interchangeable parts.My CH 50 has a Core 50 7.1 gear set and handle

Personally, I don't like the brake system. I like the E's and G's brakes better.

I'll bet if they priced it over $300 it would get more respect.

IMG_0770.JPG So over at BBC we have the Northern Rally in June and a Mini Rally in Sept. Went to a lake near Cobbee with one of the locals for a few hours and hooked into this guy. About 40" and around 16 lbs. My biggest ever Pike. Btw, caught on a 6'8" MXF Crucial, Scorpion XT1000 with 10 lb BPS E...

Love the reels, just not a round reel guy

Who likes it and who doesn't?
