Finesse Baitcaster
If you have any interest in a finesse style baitcast reel, now may be the time to purchase one of these. The Shimano 50/51E is a good finesse reel and at this price would be a tough deal to beat.

Wow, that is an awesome price. I've been using a BPS Carbonlite this year and it has been pretty good but I have wanted to get a 51E. My friend is using one for finesse jigs and loves it.

WOW! Very good price, I haven't heard to much about them being "finesse" baitcasters, like a pixy being able to cast a weightless 4" finesse worm. But at that price...

I have casted both the 50E and the Sol, they both had upgraded spool bearings, and we casted the same bait on both, I can honestly say that there was very little if any difference in casting distance , everything else was just a matter of personal preference. Just for the record, we were casting a 1/16th oz jig between 35-40 yards on both of these reels.

You guys are probably right. Besides, the Sol fits my hand like a glove and I need to save my money, lol. Lots of new reels coming out after ICAST!

With that being said, what rod would complimented the 50e? I was looking at the shimano crucials or gloomis. Never held a gloomis & don't really know their line up but i really like how the crucial felt. Suggestions?

Something with a light tip, and that will load up and be able to cast light bait well. Without having fished any of them, I think the loomis DSR820C looks like a great rod on paper to match with a finesse baitcaster.

If you want to go GLoomis the perfect rod you want for that reel is: CR722( 6') /MBR782C (6'6" ) IMX.

Best ultra casting reel imho is the super tuned Pixy (Pixilla) paired with a MBR782 GLX rod like this.
