New Chronarch 2025
BigMoneyGrip reply :
I just got a new Chronarch 201E5 (Thanks Tackle Trap) and mounted it to my Veritas 7' heavy, and man, talk about some casting! This thing will flat put a swimbait into orbit. I did clean the spool bearings, and used some Ardent oil on them.
Really pleased and looking forward to using it more this fall, especially with this mid 80's temp in the middle of August.

The best reels!
Raul reply :
Chronarchs, no matter what series they belong to, are really very fine reels.
BASSHUNTER1961 reply :
Awesome
islandbass reply :
That is great to hear. I am however, not a fan of its color scheme and as one who usually chooses function over looks/form, the irony gnaws at me like a beaver's teeth on a log. Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony... 
BigMoneyGrip reply :
islandbass, it does look good on the Veritas. However, I feel like I'm cheating the reel by putting it on that rod, but I love the rod. You can straighten hooks with it.
Diggy reply :
black white color scheme>>>green
congrats on the enjoyization of the reel
LgMouthGambler reply :
I agree its like cheating. My Curado 50E on my Vendetta is hard to accept, but it feels soo good. I am getting a Chronarch 50E, and will be mounting it on a Veritas, and am going to feel guilty, but I dont care. Curado and Chronarch 200E's, and Citica E on Sellus rods, so I dont feel too bad.On 8/19/2012 at 12:56 AM, BigMoneyGrip said:islandbass, it does look good on the Veritas.

Hey, my Chronarch 201E7 is mounted on a 7'6" H Daiwa Jupiter, and I absolutely love it. I've been throwing lots of frogs and unweighted Senko's and it is mind blowing as to how great this combo handles.

LOL.... I have a Chronarch 201E7 and love it, it's a fantastic reel. It's ever smoother than Rico.

Some people just dont know what a good reel is, but time will tell.

I think LMG was making a snide remark for us Daiwa fans.
Although I have more Daiwas than any other brand, it doesn't stop me from enjoying the others as well. That includes my Shimanos,

Congrats, its a wonderful reel. I have mine mounted on a MH Worm and Jig Sellus, but they are amazing on an Abu Veritas.On 8/25/2012 at 7:07 AM, jj said:I just couldn't take it, All this Chronarch chatter! I just had to!!

Convergence Crankbait CVCC70MHB is on the way.
jj'sbassinforfun reply :
I finally got a chance to use my Chronarch yesterday(played hookie from work). Very impressed with it and its casting distance. I used it on my Powell Diesel Glass 7' MH. Threw some DT-16, 6XD's, DD22's all the way down to some DT-6's. No issues with 2 brakes on and loose as a goose even with 20 MPH winds. Still waiting on my CVCC70MHB, But hopefully it will compare to the Powell.
BASSHUNTER1961 reply :
The more you use it the better it gets.... I have mine on a 7'6" Daiwa Jupiter H and I can cast a hollow frog(Pad Crasher) a mile, and it throws 5" Senkos with ease. You will love your new reel.
MarkH024 reply :
Got mine. 200E5. Cranks are waiting and ill be out this weekend. Can't wait!
LgMouthGambler reply :
Looks like Shimano is still alive and kicking. So much for the down talk, LOL.Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, glad to see everyone is enjoying these fine reels. I know I do!

I also bought my son a Citica g 200g5(he didn't want a white or green reel ???). He's a right hander so we had more options for him!! We tuned it up some with the extra bearing under the crank shaft. Added the smooth drag washers. A bit of polishing and some abec 5's on the spool. He's very happy with it and he's chucking the brutes on his powell(same as mine). We both beat the daylights out of them for a solid 8 hours with a half hour lunch break. No issues with either. We'll be back out tomorrow and with the water temps still hovering close to 80ºF. I think we'll get to use them hard again. A little lube on the bearings tonight and some thin grease on the break ring. They will be ready for action.
MarkH024, let me know what you think once you use yours? But i bet you love it too!
MarkH024 reply :
I have had Curados for a while. I love them, so I'm sure the Chronarch will satisfy equally if not more. I also have a few Quantum reels too that I like a lot, so I'm not really on this Shimano only bandwagon. If I did have to choose between them, I'd take my Shimanos but the Quantums I do have are nice reels too.
I'll let you know the results after the weekend.
jj'sbassinforfun reply :
I'm also not just a Shimano guy. I have some Diawa, Abu and Ardent's too. I grew up throwing Abu round reels and still keep some ready to fish. About the only brand I haven't had my hands on is the Okuma. Looking at a Kumato. Maybe this spring?

I've also been taking a good look at Okuma. That Helios would look really good on a Powell
