Anyone have experience with the Shimano "Core" & "Chronarch Mg" Reels??....

  I use the Core with 20 lb Power Pro for casting the Senkos. It's light and will let you toss the 5" Senko with no problem.
The Core does have, however, a kind of hollow metalic sound on the retrieve...but then, every magnesium reel I have does the same thing. That is not a problem at all...just a minor persnickety for me anyway.

I hope it can cast a 5" senko. Any baitcast reel worth its price had better. A 5" senko weighs 3/8 oz.
