Chronarch B
Chronarch B
For some reason I have a wild hair about picking one up, I can appreciate the feel of some of the older all metal framed reels. I used a friends old SF and was blown away, down right shocked at how that old reel felt. I was always intrigued by the B's. What were/are your thoughts on this series? Ive seen the TT review. Id mainly use it for tip down situations like medium squarebills. Also Id never owned a shimano with the older handles, can you shed some weight w/an after market handle?

Can't help with the handles. I have one Chronarch B. I keep it on a MH rod. The thing casts a mile. Backlashes are unheard of.

The curado and chronarch B are superior reels to 95% of the reels sold on the market today.

Re: Chronarch B
the B is a great platform with great ergonomics but the paint peeling was and is an issue.
i have to say the cranking power and smoothness of operation is bar none

Re: Chronarch B
I think that was more on the MG, no? It seems the magnesium reels tend to peel paint more so. I believe the B series Chronarch that he is referring to is the dark greyish looking one with the frame protection pieces on the top. I don't recall them having paint issues.goldrod wrote:the B is a great platform with great ergonomics but the paint peeling was and is an issue.
