Will this drag star fit a CH 51MG?

If you're talking about the older MG50's, their drag star is plastic. I broke a finger off one of mine, and Shimano had replacements.
That was shortly after they stopped production of that reel ( ), so they may no longer have them available, but I think it is probably worth a phone call. I got replacement parts for 30 year old Daiwa spinning reel from Daiwa.

I'm not looking to repair as much as replace. I take it you're a fan of the MGs too?

Shimano had a replacement drag star. I could have still used the one with the broken finger, but it always seemed that the broken finger spot was right where I wanted to adjust the drag. Annoying. If they hadn't been able to replace it, I'd still be fishing with the broken finger drag star.

Yes, I have five, and I love them. Since I bought them in 2005, I've done all the lube myself, and never had them serviced. They are great for 6lb and 8lb test.
The day Shimano discontinued them, and came out with the Core MG, at another $100+, was a dark day for all of us.
I'm going to send them all in to a local Shimano guy this month to be serviced. It's about time, especially since they are a low bearing reel.

Big fan also. Surprised to see the CH50MG not listed as being a candidate for the star. You would think that it would. But again, as stated, email to be sure.

Plat carries Hedgehog, and he is very quick to respond.

It's not Hedehog, it is Avail. I'm with you. I would assume it will fit. Thanks for the information. I can't possibly be the only person thinking of pimping out my CH MG??
