I found a brand new in box shimano chronarch 101 D7 at a boat shop about 2 hours from my house today and just had to have it. Pretty excited to have this reel. It will be a nice addition to my shimanos.Does anyone know how long they were made for?

I love finding reels with the handle on the correct side! A few years back, I stumbled across a 301DSV on clearance for <$100 and a couple years before that, I found a Chronarch SF (the gold one) for <$90. Even though I'm a Shimano guy, I snagged a new Black Max for $15 today. I'm sure I'll figure out something to do with it.

wow thats pretty cheap

not long enough

 

super good find. enjoy the reel and dont let it go.

Awesome find, I wish I would have bought one when I had the chance.

I have one and it is amazing. A true gem. Prefer it to my cores which I sold off

If you don't mind saying, how much did you get it for?

I really like the color on them. I really never heard a bad thing about them either. I have put one on my bucket list.

 

Great find man!

Sweet reel man. Dont let it go, i kick myself everytime i think about the conquest 51 i had, should of held on to that one....

I paid $299, regular price. Definately never letting this reel go

Chronarchs are very fine reels no matter to which series they belong.

I wouldn't. They go for well over that looking like they made it through Armageddon on ebay.

To bad the D series reels were discontinued as fast they were introduced....

This is true, but when you are used to the D series, you can see why there was major outrage when the Chronarch E was introduced. The topic has been discussed Ad Nauseam so I won't go further. By most accounts, the ci4 chronarch has brought some oomph back to the chronarch line.

Keep that D close and don't let go lol
