I want to see Okuma or Pflueger take the spot of shimano.

The curado g is trash.. I think they should stop making it completely and lower the price of the curado e down to 150 or so.

So I assume you have experience with both?  Just asking.

I have been having a blast with my trash curados. Catching a lot of bass, trash bass I suppose. By the way, if anyone wants to throw theirs in the trash, my trash cans are available.

Do you know why they introduced the Curado G in the first place? Because they could no longer afford to sell the Curado E for less than $200, and they needed a new reel at the $150 price point. The Chronarch/Curado E is going to stay at $200.

Im with Hootie, nobody should fish with trash! My bin is always open for those garbage Curados.

You are the man aavery!

Exactly my point. I'd rather buy a $200 Curado with minor upgrades than a less refine Curado for $160 because you know what, I just did. Bought a painted white Curado lol. Even though people knew the Chronarch E is really just the Curado E they still buy it.

Lineup should be Core, Chronarch CI4, Curado E.

Oh man I wish I didn't watch that. Nobody tell my wife, K?    I promise not to buy one until some credit cards are paid off.

I can't wait to get my hands on the new Chronarch!! Looks fantastic.

d**n that is awesome looking....

OOOHHH!! Thinking just might return/exchange CH50E for for this reel.

 

Know of a release date anyone?

I think someone stated August, but most likely it will be fall.

 

Is that an X-Ship mark?! And swept handles!

I think so Darren! Pretty awesome looking reel with some additional touches. Looks darn similar to a core from a color scheme standpoint. Was looking at a scorpio but this may be next in line. Got to hope there are a few gear ratios available, and hopefully something blazing fast.

Sharp looking Chronarch!

I like it.

Looks like a winner. The money in my wallet is about ready to fly out now!

now THAT is one sexy piece of machinery. Better start saving......

2 bearings per knob please or ability to do such.

Ok that is Christmas 2013 sorted. I hope there will be a 50 in the line up.

yep...im havin one!

yes, please guys, go ahead and start selling those "white curados" at rock bottom prices...If I have to take them off your hands I'll do it. I feel it's my civic duty   I now own some Chronarch E's along with the Curado E's and I can say without a doubt that the Chronarch just has that little of bit of something special that the Curado doesn't have....and it's not the paint job There's a difference guys.  As far as the Chronarch getting back up there in price, oh well, I guess I'll stick with the white ones! How long before the average Joe is priced out of this Shimano game....I just got two Curado G's from JB and I can say they are great!! I don't know what the fuss is about....

Yeah, ditto that. I'd take another 50e or two of those white curados when the rush on the Core-onarchs hits :-). Easier to justify to my wife.      No, take that back. Won't be easier to justify.
