Metanium vs Chronarch

[Obz]

Just got a chronarch mgl 8.1:1. I wanted the brass gears. Seems the quality is on par with my daiwa sv103 reels. I'm Pairing it with my second MB Faust, gonna send some frogs out of the atmosphere. The HH air bearings are on the way, pretty stoked! Its my second high end shimano. I have an anteras 5.6:1 I'm planning on using for cranks and topwaters.

See I caught a hard time for buying a 7.1 Chronarch MGL instead of trying my first SV103 (kinda sad because I never got one still). I think for the price I paid brand new, $220ish, the MGL was a great deal.
Please let me know how those HH air bearings turn out, I use my Chronarch on a 7'Medium Villain 2.0 and like it for light lure casting, like 3/16 heads with Keitech 3.3"s. Some people say stock Shimano bearings are pretty good though already.

Will do, that is a good deal and I think the mgl is prob the way to go for the lighter stuff. I paid full retail for my mgl but I got a sweet shimano hoody with it. I think you could still find a new sv103 for 250 or under if you look on the auction sites. I like my sv103's a lot, they are good down to about 3/16 of an ounce on 15lb flouro, also smooth, rugged and compared to the mgl I prefer their more flashy athstetic. I upgraded the sv103's with HH air HD bearings they're great, hardly backlash and I can skip well with them. I decided to try the shimano reels for cranks, topwaters, and frogs hoping for that maximum casting distance.

You'll get further distance compared to the equal price Daiwa's, you'll get better control from the Daiwa reels though, especially the newer or less trained a thumb is. I did a test/write up for the Zillion SV TW versus the Chronarch MGL on here a while back, still love both reels. Was really hoping an MGL version of the Curado 70 was coming, that size reel with a lighter spool and few more bells and whistles (extra driveshaft bearing, longer handle) could quite possibly be a greatest of all time candidate.
