core or calais
 

Which do you prefer and why?

core...
 

Core...Lighter weight... smaller profile! I don't have one... but just looking at the numbers... Core on top. Ask W! He knows all about them.

cialis

is that a new reel that makes your waterloo longer?:*****:

:*****::*****::*****:

core by a mile

And why? I realize the size and weight are different, are there any other attributes that make it superior?

Duckster, if you fish out of a boat, there is no better baitcaster available than a Calais.......11 bearings, smooth as silk and casts a mile. However, they are so complicated on the inside with all that "stuff", wading with one would not be wise. Dunk both of 'em in saltwater and see which one freezes up first. I have both reels and I'd choose the Calais any day.

I don't even like to get in the water at the beach so I stay in the boat. Then again, I like tinkering with my reels.

:eek: Better geaux with the Core 'cause Shimano recommends that you not be "tinkering" with a Calais. In fact...they insist. :smokin:

I own both and fish both. That Calais is one smooth reel!!! I use it when I'm staying in the boat. My Core is for wading. Core is obviously lighter reel, easier to hold, etc.....but I wouldn't trade that Calais for anything.

Can't go wrong with either!

it's cheaper, you can take it apart and service it yourself. lighter is BETTER

This year but next year it will be the Calais FO SHO;)

im waiting for W to get ZEBCO to sponsor him....

i dont give him that long, i figure he'll be on fly fishing or cane poles before long just to give the trout a chance:work:

I doubt he will publicly endorse the Calais...simply because I said it's the best reel available. :smokin: Isn't it just truly amazing how he divorced the Curado and jumped on the Core "bandwagon"? :confused:

The core is the lightest reel out there. The calais is the lexus of baitcasters. For my budget and what i fish the curado is my reel of choice. If i worked at nasa,
i could prolly afford the cores lol

I can afford anything and I use Curado E7 with full orange seal Boca Bearings.

:eek:ducky a zebco will work fine for the amount of fish you catch:rotfl::*****::D
