Of the Chronarch line. I see they have a few different models. I'm thinking of getting one or a Lew's if I can find a nice lefty model.

Depends on what you're using it for, but their is not much a 50E cant even handle. Unless you need the line capacity (You probably dont for bass), the 50E is just better IMO.

Edit: Im a Daiwa Man myself, but those 50e's have a place in my heart.

I messed with one at BPS again today since all I hear on these boards how good they are. Something about Lew's reels that I really like, so I'm torn between the two. May wait for Xmas to pull the trigger on one.

Yeah buddy!

I've still got that Veritas sitting in the garage. Chronarch/veritas is a nice looking combo.

The 50 is just smaller, and better for lighter baits. The 200 series is bigger and come in different speeds ie the 7-6-5 after is the ratios.

is it micro or regular guides?

Gambler, theres a 51e for sale in the flea market..CH-51e? Same reel as yours? I've got a couple tuned curados and have fallen in love. I'm not familiar with the chronarch line however, but I am thinking of picking it up if its a decent model. What do you think?

If it was a turd with a shimano sticker on it LMG would approve

Yes, its the same as what I have only lefty. If you have the Curado 50, its pretty close to the same thing, but a little smoother and refined, and better drag.

Lol.

The Chronarch E and Curado E use the same drag pad materials. The ONLY difference is the spacer behind the main gear is now carbon fiber. If you think the Chronarch has a smoother drag, it's because the drag grease is fresher on the Chronarch. Put a vapor thin film of Star Drag grease on the drag pad only, and your Curados will be as smooth as a new Chronarch.

Star drag grease you say? Does it come smaller than 1 gal? Lol

NM, just realized its the Shimano Grease.

It's like $10 for an ounce, direct from Shimano.

Ordered 1oz from TW. $5.99. Plus the $19.99 fitted Shimano hat, lol. Couldnt help myself!

Did you order 2 of each? LOL

Thanks for the instr., I already know how to service, but have just been using a different drag grease. My BPS doesnt carry the Shimano, and dont really shop TW that much.

If I could get that past my wife, I would have,lol.
