just got my chronarch, wow its sweet!

[greenpumpkin]

I've been fishing with my curados the past two years, I love those reels but man the chronarch is smooth solid,and casts a mile! The only thing I didn't care for was the small sized handle so I put the curado handle on it. It looks good on my loomis 783!

[thukidad]

curious which model you have? i've have fished alot of shimano reels.. my favorite are core and chronarch mg.. the only model i havent tried yet is the calais dc series

[ecu daniel 14]

man try upgrading the spool bearings if you think it casts a mile stock...put some nice ABEC 9s in it and you wont want to use anything else...its amazing

[steve1206]

Chromarch D I assume? That is a lot of people's favorite reel in the Shimano line up. "Feels" smoother than the Core and is smoother than the Chronarch 50MG because of the non-Magnesium frame...Feels more powerful than both as well. Now if they would give me an option with Curado E7 line capacity I'd be one happy camper (Come on ICAST)...It would be great if they follow the Curado platform with a 200/150-ish size and a 50-size option. The D7 only holds 5 more yards of line than the 50-sized reels...

Its the 101D7, yea I was wishing it had more line capacity so I could use it for steelhead in the winter. I guess that's where my curado comes in. I didn't realize how much nicer the chronarch is!

chronarch D7 is one sweet reel!

[Stratos]

Where do you get the ABEC 9s bearings. I have 2 Chronarchs that perform great, but I want to try one with the upgraded bearings.

[ecu daniel 14]

I got them from a TT member, not sure he wants me spreading his name around...but here they are on ebay, same seller....http://cgi.ebay.com/ABEC-9-Hybrid-Beari ... 500wt_1156

Excellent, the chronarch D7 is my favorite reel....

[phatbass]

I added a avail shallow spool and mag brake kit to my d7 ,and turned it into a great finesse reel.

[bass806]

Glad to hear you like it. That's my next reel. I've owned a bunch of earlier Chronarchs, but not the D. looking at ordering one soon.
