Stoked with Lexa 300 and want another,or chronarch 50e

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Stoked with Lexa 300 and want another,or chronarch 50e

Post by Flathead » Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:57 am

So i got my Lexa 300 HS from the states (cause i am Aussie and prices here are crazy) and am so stoked with what this reel has and how it feels. Am thinking about getting another one (Cause i can, and will leave one at my mates) and can't decide if i should get another Lexa or give a Chronarch 50e or 200E7 a go, Any Suggestions.

PS the only reason i am thinking about getting a Shimano instead is simply because i have a Lexa already (and is simply the best reel i own), BUT wanna try new things for versatility.

Hit me back peeps with personal experience from the Chronarch 50e or 200E7.

I own all E series reels. The Curado and Chronarch 200 and 50 Es are work horses. They are going to be a different world to the Daiwas. The only thing I can tell you is you wont really know until you use it, but you wont be disappointed.

300 lexa and 50 Chronarchs are wayyyy different reels. You should go for a 50E since you already have the Lexa 300. This way you can fish down to 6lb test. However, the 200E is a more versatile size with more line capacity.

Lexa 300 VS CU 300 is likely a better comparo.
