The elasticity machine only runs upto 732 microns at a 78 degree angle and needs 944 at 1.21 gigawats to get a 19.85 angle. Dr. Brown talks about it.

the 894 was crazy sensitive but it's built like crap. handle is too short, tip heavy, and I didn't like the reel seat. modified mine when I had it and sold it years ago . Been down the flagship jig rod road far too often. It's not worth it. Get something custom built exactly how you want.....if I had to pick though, it would be the steez rod no question. NRX is getting revamped . might want to just hold out for a while. no idea on the release date.

They are a very, very, .....very good smallie bait.

customer service is among the worst in the industry. wait time for a rod is months. Those that have them, generally, like them.

they're going to be 650-700$

the least they could have done was color the stupid nut cap

Again, my god....do some leg work buddy. there's two separate kits for this as I clearly stated above. chronarch mgl gear buzz-fix curado k gears http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?t=74529&start=45 Chronarch MGL gear issue http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=77823 Met+chronarch buzz issues-replacing /w K gears solved issue https://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?t=77744&start=15 chronarch mgl gears done bad needed to be sent back http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?t=80927 half way down-user complains chronarch is geary http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?t=79018&start=60 I'm going to stop searching for you at this point. if you actually , god forbid here, take 30 seconds and look this up, you'd know what it is i'm exactly referring to. This isn't something new, even though you seem dumbfounded by it . Been an issue for 3 years now. Is it worse on the Met? Definitely. There's plenty of folk who have no issues /w their Chronarch...but there's also a fair share of complaints against them. It's like people have to be spoon fed information instead of looking things up on their own anymore. Since shimano isn't going to the classic, ask your "shimano rep" about your jdm reels.

No, i'm not confused. The Met has it's own kit which is the curado k main gear and a met pinion and the chronarch MGL upgrade is the curado K gear. Bantam urged all of the people complaining about either to send them in,and while some did, they issue came back. Everybody that swapped to the K gear was beyond satisfied and kits were made because of it.

I'm sure he does...however...take a stroll over to Tackletour and search in the reel section for MGL buzz. There's more there than you'll ever need to know on the issue. The solution? The curado K gear swap...this isn't something new....been talked bout for a couple years now. They literally sell brass gear upgrade kits for the met/chronarch to address this issue ......little google search never killed anybody. my goodness some people. ..but hey...shimano's probably using that hiatus from the classic this year to tune the jdm reels and make them feel silky smooth.

it's very simple, unscrew the drag knob ontop of the spool until it comes completely off . pull the spool off the shaft and adjust the spacers.

tim kelly is correct. adjusted the spacers under the spool.

....I don't think anybody compared the 2 reels...but the gears in the Curado K are far better than the Chronarch MGL. The Chronarch MGL is an okay at best mid level reel.

It's definitely more of an issue /w met due to the alloy/grass gear combo but the chronarchs have had some reported cases of the issue on TT and swapping fixed their issue.

There's been countless posts over on TT about the gear buzzing and swapping to curado K gears to fix the issue.

No, the reels aren't tuned. Daiwa was the only company to do that to a reel 10 or so years ago. The reel being smoother could be attributed to grease or lack their of. The reels are identical internally. The chronarch MGL is notorious for having poor gears and developing the "mgl buzz" quickly or overtime. The fix for this is putting the Curado K gears and your problem is solved.

The USDM and JDM are the same reel internally....the only difference is the spool depth. JDM is shallower. JDM reels are, generally, always less expensive than the USDM counterpart .
