Come on March !

[Bantam1]

March will mostly be saltwater stuff but I'm looking forward to some of it.

Gotcha! ... im sure the 7:1 Core will find its way into my lineup. Any official date for when retailers will have them ?

Thanks for sharing !

Already in stock

Hilarious as you and I had a conversation a couple months ago and my questions all centered around getting the flipping swith off the MgFV or swapping the Core 100Mg gears for the MgFV 7:1 brass gears...to make a light frog/flip reel....good to know that I dont have to go through all that BS if its a route I want to take. Was kind of hoping that early spring timeline would see a reel(s) come to market to close that $200 to $350 gap...or if we have to wait til ICAST 2012....

ALL BLACK ! FINALLY !

Dan this has your influence written all over the color scheme ...

[Bantam1]

Our reel product manager and I see eye to eye...when he stands on a step stool

We talked about it and we both wanted an all black reel. This is about as close as we can get. The spool is actually a dark gunmetal grey.

[joejoe83]

that actually looks awesome! I really dont like the red highlights on all the reels now.

[y2k88]

So putting a batman logo on that. Looks good.

[Phippy]

Same bearing count as the original Core 100 or did Shimano at least add one in each knob? Any how just found my new reel for my NRX854c. Thanks Shimano.

PS. Found my answer on their homepage, same bearing count as the original. No offense can't believe Shimano couldn't make it 8 bearings like the Core50 for that $400 price tag. Probably factoring in the weight? Oh well nothing ZPI couldn't fix.

[steve1206]

Now we need a 150/200 size for big(ger) line. Dan, you know you can't please everyone anyway, so I'll just pile on the requests.

That Tranx is sweet! Looks perfect for some offshore kayak fishing!

[OnlyOneCanoli]

I want to buy a tranx hpt. I can't find any retailers that have any. They are out now? Where can I order one.

I'd like to see a double handled crank for the Tranx, I dont know about that single one for throwing the big baits.... If you get my drift about the handle, I might have worded it wrong....a Handle like the TE Calcutta and Curado 300s, that's what I'm getting at.
