Anyone have one?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Buy a Core and get a warranty.

The Core didnt have a 7.0:1 gear ratio without the Instagage II.

I wanted a 7.0:1 MG reel without the Instagage II and was willing give up the warranty to get it.

Too late, I already placed my order. Thanks for looking out on the warranty though

You still get the warranty you just have to ship it back to Jun at japan Tackle If you buy it from him he will fix it and the shiping is not that much more 11.00 to japan 8.00 to Irvine

Oh and the Reel you got KICKS AZZ I got one of the 1st ones that were shiped from him to the US

I just got the reel yesterday and I put her on a Kister Helium II....I had one single tear drop from my eye...just awesome!

Oh the total weight is 9oz...6oz reel, 3 oz rod give or take. NUTS!

You will love it, the 1 thing I know though if you having real good hearing you will be able to hear the gears, don't worry about it if you can its just the fact that the sound comes throw the side plate alittle more because of what the real is made of. I have 3 and they all make a little gear noise

Dude! Im glad you told me that because I did hear that noise and wondered what the hell it was. I'll use it this Sat/Sun and I know I'll buy more

Thanks!

Would one be favored over the other for fishing vegetation and wood cover, or could either one be used? Or possibly as a frog reel. Guess I am asking, which reel is more powerful? Thanks.

I would have to say the Core would be the better reel for pitchin to wood as it has the Instagage II. As far as power, they both are 7 gear ratio so it really would come down to personal prefernce.

I dont know if this helps any?

The Core 100MGFV has a brass gear set. The brass gear set is much stronger for use with heavier lines such as braid.
