Basskicker Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I recently purchase 2 Chronarch 51 mg's and was wondering if anyone else has used these lightweight baitcaster reels? This is a review of the reel and an excellent site for reviews of fishing related products. It amazing the difference in prices from the U.S. and here. I saved $268 on 2 reels. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimanochronarch50mg.html Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Looks like a really nice reel, I know a lot of OFNers swear by their Shimanos. I don't own one, I guess you'll find out how it handles now that you've got a couple... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapshooter Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I own that exact reel. Have it on an Avid crankbait rod. Love the entire setup. Smooth long casts and lighter then anything. You'll love em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Your going to love the new reel. They are truly incredible. The write up on it was an excellent read for anyone looking for a great casting reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedman Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have a Chronarch B myself which won a bunch of awards in 2004, the year it was launched. Got mine at the Sportsman's Show for a great price. They're $100 more to buy them now. Didn't think that I could do better than my Team Daiwa Z, but that reel is golden. Mine's on a new St. Croix rod as well. Can toss baits with that outfit all day with little or no arm fatique. I just bought up 12 St. Croix rods outta the US and saved some money. Heading to Niagara Falls, NY to pick them up tomorrow, can't wait. I will have some for sale, if anyone's interested. We'll get them posted to Classifieds later this week hopefully.

mikeh Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) I was thinking of getting one myself, if you don't mind , can you tell me where you bought it and how much you paid . thanks Edited November 28, 2006 by mikeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickGG Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Nice looking reel, I am hoping to pick me up one of those for next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basskicker Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I purchased both reels from Ebay for $249.99 (each)Canadian no tax, I checked at BassPro and the retail for $370+Tax (each).....just do a search on Ebay for Shimano Chronarch 51 mg and you'll see them...I believe his name is Reelseller or something close to that. Ask him to ship them as a gift....It helps at the border. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
