Not just the Chronarch 50e, but the 200 series as well. Only Chronarch is the CI4+.
They're still at TW and elsewhere...
JeziHogg reply :
Core 50/100's too.

I do like the current 50-size low profile reels and have four of them...and that's probably enough. I am MUCH more looking forward to the possibility of a 50-size Conquest14...

Ditto, on a 50 conquest14..
John G reply :
I just bought my second XT1000 and I would like some Aldebaran MG7's but it seems like they are stuck at around $300.00 at Japan Lure Shop. Maybe that is already as low as they are going to go. Not that I have a problem with that price, but it would be nicer at $250.00On 12/4/2014 at 8:10 AM, bootytrain said:Now is a great time because of the favorable exchange rate.

Here you go bro. A couple of shops on Rakuten have them at $260. The prices fluctuate almost daily depending on the exchange rate.

I've been at a couple sites drooling over the
Aldebaran BFS XG. Dang. 8.0:1! Would love
if my 50e reels had that ratio.

That and an X7 Super Eiger are near the top of my list.

If the new Conquest comes in a 50/1 platform, one and a new Pop-X Stick will be on its way to WI.

Once you get yourself a Aldebaran BFS, check this bad boy out.

You are a bad man.
I use my Conquest 51S/Dx701 for that stuff.

Tell me something, whats so special about round reels, the Conquest in particular? I've always been a low pro guy and have always felt that pop can reels felt weird in hands.

Just something about them. The Conquest in particular is something really special...A member on another forum described them as the final product being greater than the sum of the parts. Another said if there was a nuclear war, the only thing left would be roaches and Conquests.

No, sorry I just felt like being a jerk.

Have you had the Conquest 50 in your hands? It is much more easily palmed than the 100 and above.On 12/4/2014 at 12:47 PM, JeziHogg said:Tell me something, whats so special about round reels, the Conquest in particular?

John G reply :
Unfortunatly the red XT1000 doesn't color coridinate well with the blue wraps on the NRX but the light gray Aldebaran MG7 would look sweet. LOLOn 12/4/2014 at 7:57 PM, *Hootie said:John, you just got a new scorpion. Slow down, slow down!...Just kidding, buy as many as you want as fast as you can.

First of all they are built like a tank and will be something you hand down to your grandchildren if you have them. One of the big things that gets overlooked is how the reel foot is recessed allowing the Conquest to set down on the rod creating a very comfortable palming of the reel. I have a fair amount of both LP Reels and Round Conquests in all sizes and would not discount the comfort of either one. My suggestion to you is, since you like the 50 sized reel is get a your hands on a Conquest 50 and give it a whack as I do not think you will be disappointed.....

Put me on the list for the 14 Conquest 50 as I will then await for the 50DC..........
JeziHogg reply :
Hmmmm.... that's some pretty good convincing. My wife is going to lose it lol.
Cgrinder reply :
Actually I don't know how they could make a new CQ50. My 101 is tiny. If they made 7:1 gears for them I would sell everything else.

I think hedgehog studios is working on higher gears for it. I recall seeing a Facebook post from them about it.
Goose52 reply :
A higher-speed gearset was made for the old CQ100 (6.something) but I've never seen anything for CQ-50s. It would be great if Shimano offered at least two gear ratio options in these reels from the factory...

My brand new Black Friday Ch50E was delivered today. Can't wait to fish with it.
thehooligan reply :
The 50 series Conquest is very easy to palm as its a tiny reel. Built like a tank and its a work of art.
Just wish it had faster gearing, lol. I'm also really excited for a new conquest 50 series reel, fingers crossed for 7:1 gears !!
Alonerankin2 reply :
Shoot, my old calcutta b size 50 was tiny... That reel was a lil tank. I fished it hard for 10 years, replaced the clutch bar, once.. There is not a tougher shimano reel around. I may spring on a 100, idk, I can be patient thou... I guess, lol

Check out Baka Rush as you will see they have some different offerings including gearing however timing is everything along with being able to understand Japanese......http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&u=http://baka-rush.ocnk.net/&usg=ALkJrhhLUNQSNl5N0ANC5Biykg4zYWUQJQ

Those are the gears I had seen for the CQ100. I didn't realize that they had made them for 50-size as well. According to their specs - it takes a 50 to about 25-26 IPT - a very usable number... 
I can't understand why Shimano couldn't offer at least one more ratio from the factory - it would just be two more parts (drive and pinion gears) to make and keep in inventory...

I agree as it would create a lot more happy campers.....I am also hoping the 14 will address that issue.
