Think about this though. The Core was the USDM version of the Metanium, which we already have.Scuba Scott wrote:I am patiently waiting on an update to the Core series. The 100 MG7 and 50 MG7 were a couple of my all time favorites. I would be a fan of them following what daiwa has done with the Steez. Give us magnesium and aluminum options for the Core. Brass gearing in both with 6,7,8 ratios. I would also like for them to include an aluminum Core with brass gears,deeper spool in a 5.5 gear ratio for deep cranking![]()
I think the core series could benefit from something similar to the JDM Steez semi order system. It would not be for everyone. Build a core for the masses then give the tackle junkies a way to customize their reel. Example: pick your frame material, spool and capacity. Handle length/style/knob type. Gear ratio, etc. it would be a cool option to build your own.
I would guess the other sideplates are aluminum.PBP wrote:Thank you for sharing.
Clearly Scorpion is Curado K based, better MGL spool, a bit smaller handle knobs, I bet three will be at least 1 bearing per knob. Nice upgrade reel for those who like curado K.
Antares reminds me Core 100 ergonomics, especially from palming cover side, beautiful reel. For CORE 100 enthusiasts like myself- here is your upgraded core 100![]()
One thing I don't understand, if Antares frame is still made of magnesium, why such a small reel is still relatively heavy at 7.8 oz?
Even with all the additional bearings, shouldn't it be around 7.2 ish?
The pic is not truly accurate. See how much bigger around the rod handle on the right looks compared to the one on the left. The camera is not looking straight down.
Yep, reel on the right is also closer to camera making it look much biggerjoekaz wrote:The pic is not truly accurate. See how much bigger around the rod handle on the right looks compared to the one on the left. The camera is not looking straight down.
