Shimano 2017 5 New Reels~~~~Happy Holiday~~~~

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.

So is the Chronarch MGL aluminum frame and sideplate or isn't that info out yet? If it is I won't be buying any metaniums, saving all my money for the new Chronarch! Are the these reels supposed to launch around the Classic?

The lack of mention of Hagane would make me think it'll be CI4+

Reading shimano.jp and it says the conquest will have the same magnetic FTB system and mr roboto exciting drag soung as 16 Aldebaran.

Dam I just bought a 16 aldebaran with an extra spool, but I believe both reel might have exactly the same spool, if so I see a 16 conquest in the future ! ](*,)

And the Chronarch is def CI4.

If you are asking 17 new conquest, it's 8lb mono / 45m as Shimano says:

those are sweet reels.

I have a few CTE's of various sizes that have the lower gear ratio's ...

However, nothing since a Curado D series in a low pro...
1-2%
