Re: Inshore reel for 7M Expire glass
I have used the Chronarch G and I am very happy with it. I have also used the Curado MGL and have been impressed with its performance at a lower price point.

Re: Yak help... Questions
I have a PA14 and have no experience with this boat, but Blue Sky Boatworks is a pontoon style peddle drive boat.

just an update. The issue was resolved through a Shimano warranty/service center.

Re: Chronarch G sideplate
Thank you for the response Bantam. I have had no issues with my other G's. They have been flawless. This one was a surprise, since it is brand new and hadn't seen the water.

Interesting option. I will have to look into that.

Re: Chronarch G sideplate
Cast control is loose, still wouldn't budge. I will try soaking it in warm water to see if that will help. Reel is brand new. All I have done is spool line on the reel. Maybe Bantam will have an answer. J.B. what reel did you switch up to. I love the Chronarch G's. Up to this point have had no issue...

Chronarch G sideplate
I have 5 Chronarch G's. But, one is brand new and I can't get the sideplate to open. I had seen some suggestions to run how water over the reel. Tried that unsucessfully. Any other suggestions to try?

Re: Topwater Walking Bait Rod
Dobyns 705cb will work for that range of lures. Not perfectly, but acceptably.

Re: Rod broken on arrival
Just had the same thing happen as well. I also bought the rod from American Legacy. The were great. Shipping me a replacement and sent a return label for the broken rod. I don't think you will have any issues with ALF

Re: Used curado DC in salt
Here is a link to Shimano North America showing how to clean the reel after saltwater use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIwZ3g8yRhU&t=47s
I think you could by doing less, unless as mentioned you dunked it.

Re: Aldebaran 50 MGL
I am pretty sure the MGL spools are not recommended for saltwater. It may not be high end enough, but I have been pleased with my Chronarch G fishing the salt.

Re: top water rod for 1 oz +/- baits
I used a Loomis 847CBR in E6X for full size spooks and was very pleased with the rod for that. Another suggestion if you need a longer rod is the Dobyns 794SB. That is a very interesting rod and should be capable of launching the lures a long distance.

Re: Favorite type of topwater bait?
My vote is for the spook/sammy style bait. I like the explosive strikes you get on any topwater, but walking the dog with short or long pauses, trying to figure out a cadence that will make fish react on any particular day is what makes those the most fun, to me anyway.

Re: Light Saltwater Tackle Recommendation
I fish in the gulf all the time. Any freshwater bass outfit will work for most of what you will encounter off the beach. If you gear up for some of the random big boys, then you probably want have much fun. The Shimano Stradic may be out of your price range, but it has done a very good job in the sa...
