Good first baitcaster for bass

[Martini78]

The Core is crazy awesome. Its ultra-light, small, comfortable and casts long. $350 is a lot of cash considering the Curado is half of that and only 1.5 oz heavier. The Core is like a Viper and the Curado is like a stock Mustang. If I had the money, I'd probably buy 3 or 4 Cores and only use a Curado for situations where I need more spool capacity. The Core holds about 2/3 of the line that the new Curados do.
