Shimano 2017 Icast rumor mill ...

I would love to see the vanquish come over here. For the extra money you would have to spend I feel it will be a big seller due to its very smooth light rotation and for the bass market it will be probably be a high seller

You would be looking at an MSRP of over $500.

Maybe a revamped Sustain or the Vanquish coming to American shores? That would make my iCast.

I'd drop a stella for an exsense....Reminds me of the Jag xj220 from the movie the Wraith!!

Not sure I'd sacrifice the Stella... Hoping to have one in my future! But the Exsence wouldn't be a bad addition to the lineup! Sharp looking reel, for sure.

would love to see a 70/71 size magnesium reel with same body as the Curado/Scorpion. MGL while were at it.

That's what the Aldebaran 50 is basically. But with a much better spool.

The 70/71 Scorpion/Curado is just the most comfortable (to me) Shimano reel. Holds as much line as my Metaniums. Feels better to me than Core/Ald 09, Ald 15, CH51mg and the Mets.

Personally, I feel the Curado 50E/Scorpion XT1000 platform is hard to beat. Set and forget brakes, light, compact and easy to palm, 4 Kg of drag, durable and capable of handling big fish.

im referring to ergonomics only, although i do prefer the 71 to the 51e. the 51Es are bad little reels though. Never selling my tuned Aldebaran Mg7s!

This guy is on point ^

I love my Core 100's and MGL's but my 50's are my gems.

Some things wicked this way comes












No Tranx 400 DC with a clicker though....bastages

What are the chances Shimano releases a 70 size Chronarch Mgl? I'd definitely jump on that.

I mentioned this... I guarantee if they did that, had a small high end reel, then eventually Daiwa will replace the Alphas/105... Wonder how mad everyone would be if they gave a Pixy the TWS treatment...

[LgMouthGambler]

I've been complaining over it forever, but I would love to see a new Curado with a MGL spool(still crazy over the Curado 70 spool weighing almost ad much as a Zillion TWS, 15.7 grams). A Curado 70 MGL or even better a Chronarch MGL70 would be tight.

Chronarch 70 would be redundant. I doubt they will MGL spool the 70 this year as it was just released a year ago.

Kinda like the Chronarch E.

Wouldn't that be like redoing the Core MG50?
