Light Baitcaster? Patriarch Xt? Core?
hey everyone.
im looking for a light low profile baitcaster for Bass and yellas, im considering a Core or Patriarch XT as they are both really light, 190 grams is the heaviest i want to go. So if anyone has any feedback on these reels i'd appreciate it. Or are there any suggestions of other high(ish) end light baitcasters. It'll be matched on a Pflueger Supreme 3-6kg and Samaki Zing 3-6kg whenever its getting used. cheers |

Go for the Core 50/51MG, Aldebaran MG, Scorpion 1000/1001XT, Curado 50/51E. These reels are all pretty much identical on the inside, but the Core and Aldebaran are magnesium, while the Scorpion and the Curado are aluminium. The Core and Curado are the USDM versions, probably easier and cheaper to get. The Scorpion and the Aldebaran are the JDM versions, a little more expensive. All the reels sahre the same frame design, super compact but powerful. The spools are very light, so they can handle lighter lures too.
For bass and yellas, I would also reccomend the Daiwa Alphas 103, whether it is a normal model, an R-Edition, or an ITO, it would also be a good option for bass and yellowbelly. |

cheers mate.
Im checking some overseas prices and the scorpion is cheaper than the core, im thinking the megabass engineered (ito) Daiwas may be worth a look |

Pretty much all covered, I cant complain at all about my Alphas r. Its been a really good real, also used a core100 and they are also good. Any reels that daiwafreak mentioned you wont be disappointed.
