This is for those that want to use a Chronarch for fresh and salt water. The Chronarch MGL is designed for freshwater due to the lightweight Magnumlite spool.

I think this reel is the more in-line true "Chronarch" since it has holds the continued letter denomination. I hope it's every bit as good as the MGL with the added benefit of aluminum. Keep it classic like the SF and the D series and this could be a winner! I am excited to see it.

A new Sustain also seems to be in the works...

I never really even glanced at the Chronarch MGL, but the possibility of an aluminum Chronarch definitely has my attention =D>

I would much prefer the aluminum version of the Chronarch to keep the lineage with the classic models. Don't get me wrong, the Ci4+ material is nice but aluminum I think would be more solid. Keep all the principles of the MGL and just replace the carbon-based material with metal. The G reel may actually cut further into sales of the Metanium MGL.

Not a fan of 200 series reels anymore.

Maybe, but it depends on that spool weight. If they managed to fit those spool dimensions into the current frame size that would be genius.

The G series has a different spool material and some other small changes to increase corrosion resistance. The MGL is not recommended for use in saltwater due to components we changed to reduce weight.

The reels are a different color as well. I will post everything once I have a good update picture of the reel. I will post all of the new ICAST info once it happens.

I don't know where you got the presentation from, but please stop posting info. The info you have received is not for public sharing. You didn't even post the correct specs for the reel. The Chronarch G has a CI4+ frame material and side plates.
