Been looking for a chronarch 50e with little luck then I saw the posts about these reels.   Do yall think these will be filling the gap for the 50 size shimano or will a chronarch be coming that is smaller than the ci4? Also curious on realistic ship time for these.  Tackle warehouse had curado listed later than scorpion from Japan lure.

Japan tackle 

Gotcha,  yeah I was going to get from there but wasn't sure how it works with preoder.  I would prefer to just pay all and start the wait.   Also I'm still considering this or the chronarch ci4.  Any suggestions

Jun is one of the best sellers and most reputable sellers in the net, you can preorder which ensures you get your reel, with confidence.

The Ci4 will likely be a little smoother and with a good bearing flush is as good of a caster as you'll find. 

The 70 size reels, if history is any indication, should perform similarly to the 200's. That being said, The Curado/Scorpion I's are not far behind the Chronarch.

If you want a smaller, lighter profile (but not by much), go with the 70. If you want refinement, pick up a Chronarch. I think if you shop online they're going to cost you about the same.

dang. no 8.2:1 scorpion in right hand? 

I have an avid x med fast that I need a reel for.  Made decision to get a metanium today from them but they were sold out for the awesome price.  Now back to ci4 unless I find a good deal on something.

can't wait to hear the feedback on these.

What are you guys using the 50/70's for?
