So I passed up the Curado and the Core..
...And picked up the new Chrony! Didn't see that coming did you?
It still has the same handle/spool play that my 50mg did, so I'm just gonna deal with it this time. The manual says there is a back up anti-reverse in case the main one fails anyways so I guess the play is nothing to be worried about since I won't be jerking with this reel. It's so refined in every other way I can let that one tiny thing slide.
Damn, I didn't see this one coming either. Most expensive reel I've purchased yet. The 300 yard spool of 55lb (10lb dia) Daiwa Samurai braid is on it's way from tackle warehouse to compliment the reel!
The rod wrapping will have to wait a little longer
Figured I'd post some pics of the reel since you can't see so much detail online. Sex on "reels"! Lots of refined goodies on this thing.
7:1 baby!
I kinda like the wide open thumb bay
That coated line guide lip is off the chain!
Sideplate release
Heavily ported/lightened reel foot/frame. They also ported/channeled the top of the reel foot to save more weight!
aluminum levelwind parts!
STylish handle, clicking drag star, low pro cast control
Look at that wicked tapered line guide!Nice!
No hastle or spool release VBS adjustment
Also bearing raced free floating pinion (not shown)
I like this handle better than curado handle
I'm freakin way stoked! Can't wait for the Samurai to show up so I can go out and fish it! I can hardly contain myself!
P.S.. repainting the Sol again too so I had to get a backup reel!
