I am a Curado fan. I don't own a new "E" yet...but they feel great. IT even won some awards at ICAST.

Chronarch Mg50!!! I own both. The Chronarch casts light stuff easy! If you're willing to sacrifice some line capacity, then go with the chronarch

thats where im leaning

to tell you the truth, even though i Just bought the core, I think my 50mg is still better only because it's lighter... core feels smoother, and they both cast light weights great. the Curado is solid though...

but since the 50mg is on sale, barely $10 more than the curado, I'd get the MG

I have a Core and I love it. I can't wait to try out the new Chronarch. I am a fan of the old classic Chronarch. I think you should wait and buy the new Chronarch. I think it comes out in March.

The new chronarch is just an aluminum version of the Core. If it between the new Chronarch vs the 50mg, i'd get the 50mg.

The new JDM Aldebaran gets my vote though. ;)

what do you want to fish? the 50mg's don't make much drag, i like them for worming with ten pound line or less. (i've got one with 8lb and 1 w/10). if you want to fish heavier line than that (like a jig rod) i'd wait for the new chronarch that's coming out.

Curado for the heavier stuff.
Chronarch for the mid level and light stuff.

PM me if you are interested in the one i have for sale. I also have a 7'2" Cumara MH that's a perfect match for it, but not sure if you are looking to spend that much...

i was hit up my buddy to see what he has for sale and im thinking about the curado 100d or something like that for lighter stuff. and im lookin for a 7'2" medium. i think mh might be just a little much
