Msrp yet?

$179.99 is the word on the street.

That's tempting.. If its better than the last one.

I bet is a downgraded Metanium ie. Heavier, no micro gears.

I dont know if i will get it a guy at my local Dick's said once they get in the new curados they most likely will have the chronarchs anywhere from $100-160 if thats the case i dont think I can refuse that offer....

Much nicer color

Smh @ shimano

If you look closely it' looks line the new chronarch ci4. Turning the other way from curado to chronarch back again. Have to wait and see if the braking sys is the same or something else. Any pics of the other side

Here are some more photos and info on the reel.

GHEY!! Only 200 sizes.

I'm hoping the 50s come out later similar to the E series.

Give it time

Should be good.

Anybody know when the current Chronarchs will go on sale? I'd love to snag a 50E or two

I think during the bassmaster classic things will get interesting. Curado's will be available, TW usually has a sale, and hopefully Chronarch E's go on clearance. 4 more weeks!

Hm. Interesting. 200 sizes only...for now, at least.

 

Not my cup o' tea, like smaller reels like the 50 size, or 100 Daiwa sizes.

 

C'est la vie. No biggie. As said before "give it time", they may release other sizes.

 I've been waiting for a while to try out a Shimano reel. They're pretty much the last major brand I have left to test out. Part of the enjoyment I've had while getting serious about bass fishing has been figuring out what brands/types of equipment I like. I'm looking forward to giving Shimano a fair test. Plus, a Chronarch E is going to look pretty sweet on my Duckett  

It should be the new JDM Scorpion equivalent, new spool design called S3D, 4 brake SVS, and a very recessed external brake dial.

Anyone know if the side plate will be attached like the E series CU/CH were?

It's not attached on the Chronarch CI4+ so I would doubt it.

Yes. The one I got to handle was attached.

Yes. The one I got to handle was attached.

Thanks. That was a big reason I went with Shimano. I may give one of these a shot.

That's awesome. I love my CI4+ but am a bit afraid to lose that little side plate. Fortunately it doesn't have to come off much.
