Comments: The Core 51Mg was everything I expected it to be for a $370 reel. Super light, smooth casting/retrieving, and so easy to palm - It really is a joy to fish. I have it mounted on a 6'8" MH Cumara and it's my favorite set-up for light jigs and soft plastics. Together this set-up weighs in at a total of 9.1 ounces and balances well, right at the fore grip. If you can afford this reel, then buy it. It will definitely make your fishing experience more enjoyable as it has done for me.

Comments:This is one BAD dude. I won one in a drawing and I absolutely love it. I am saving now for another. I throw 1/8 oz wacky rigs and shakey head rigs with it and have no issues. I can fish with this out fit ALL day.....

Comments: Best reel I have ever had, I got 5 of these 51 MG7's and 3 Aldebarans. Very light and fit in your hand great. Amazing how well they cast light baits, I almost never use my spinning reels anymore.
From:Rich: Oak View, CA
Comments:All I can say is wow. This reel feels solid. I have the Chronarch 50Mg and I love it to death, but the Core is way more refined and solid. The drag is beefy and smooth. The 9 bearing system is beyond smooth and it casts really well. I was worried about line capacity at first, but I spooled up with 15lb. flouro and was casting a country mile with plenty of line to spare. Great for finessing, but don't hesitate to pitch and flip or even throw cranks. You definitely won't be disappointed in this reel. Worth every penny.

Comments:Love my Core 51MG! I have two Chronarch 51MGs and a Scorpion 1000MG and the Core beats them all hands down! Granted, it costs more, but it is worth it, IMO. Even though it is constructed from magnesium, it has a solid feel to it. This can't be said of some other MG reels. It is super smooth and a great caster.
