    Core 50 MG comparable

    What does Shimano sell now that is comparable to the Core 50mg. I have several cores that I use for flipping and pitching. Just curious what would the closest thing to them be if I decided to upgrade

    The core 50 is magnesium and really light. Outside of a Metanium I am not sure what is that close considering frame material and reel size. The Core 50 was a such a great reel I am not sure anything would be an upgrade over it. Newer isn’t always better or an upgrade.

    Metanium over Core.
