They are all different size reels. The Core 50 is the smallest, followed by the Core 100 then the Curado. 50 vs 100 vs 200. All the spool sizes are different.

bantam1

Yes it has been discontinued and replaced with the Core 100MG7. It's the same reel minus the flipping switch.

bantam1

If you open the left side plate you will see a flat head screw near the line guide end. This is actually a screw that passes through the line guide into the right side plate. Remove this and the side plate will come off.

bantam1

Or possibly sooner than that. I'll post the info when I am given the green light.

The 7'6" will be a great rod for soft plastics and popping cork applications. In Texas they tend to use a little lighter action rods for redfish and trout. Typically you are fishing shallow enough that you only need 1/8-1/4 ounce jig heads so any of the rods you listed will be perfect.

We released a new Crucial Umbrella Rig rod.

CRCU79HA 7'9" 15-30 mono, 40-80 Power Pro $169.99

bantam1

I would go with the Crucial CRCX72MHA.

bantam1

It is a little wider, but the location of the line guide, spool height and several other variables help control this. We did lots of testing and determined this is the way to go with the new D model. They have been used to catch some pretty large species with no issues. We still have the B model if ...

bantam1

The spools are narrower but taller on the new D model. This is why we eliminated the non disengaging level wind. You now have less friction from the line guide moving as you cast. The D also has more cranking power with X-Ship. Don't knock it until you try it.

bantam1

By moving the handle closer to the reel you get less wobble and more torque transfer. Typically you shouldn't have to play with the drag that much once you set it for the line you are using.

What rod model do you have? Some rods are covered by our lifetime warranty and others by a one year warranty.

bantam1

You can try Dan with Reel Ex. I think he posts on this site. I know he used to have a website.

bantam1

I wish more customers were like you. Most try to find the best deal they can on the internet and do not support the local stores.

bantam1

I'm not sure if the star will work or not. The Citica D star is aluminum if I remember correctly.

bantam1

Yes the Curado 200E7 handle will work.

bantam1

Tell them to cast the reel. They will be able to determine what is going on. It sounds like you have the spool tension set too loose which allows the spool to walk in the frame.

bantam1

Yes you can cut the rods in half and send them all in one container.

bantam1

Gary,

I received your reel today. It looks like an issue with the drag knob. I'm trouble shooting it right now. I hope to have it figured out today and back out to you tomorrow.

bantam1

Send the reel and spools in to my attention. I'll get it figured out and make sure you end up with a properly working spool.

If you have a 2500 reel with the 3000 spool then you will need the spool and dragh knob. The knob on the 2500 is different (RD13263). Are you sure you are using the correct drag knob? Try switching them and see if this makes a difference.

bantam1

You can use the handle from the Sonora 2500FB. It can be ordered by calling 877-577-0600.

bantam1

The drag knob is different for the 3000 size spool. You will need that knob for the spool to work properly.

bantam1

The 3000 requires a different drag knob.

Next time please post a new topic to ask questions like this.

bantam1

The major difference between the Chronarch D and the new E model is the elimnation of the aluminum side plates. The finish is still the same process we have used for years. The reels are still being made in Japan. Internally the components are the same. Unfortunately the D model was $299.99 which pr...

bantam1

This is the action of the rod, so the rod will start to shut off faster with an Extra Fast action. It will feel stiffer when you bend the rod. Does that make sense?

bantam1

Depends on the size jig, line class and cover you plan to fish. The CUCX72MH is a good all around jig rod. We make the CUC74H for heavier cover and heavier jigs (3/4-1). I like the CUC72MH for 3/8-1/2 ounce jigs in light cover with 12#.
