Was just wondering if anyone has tried or purchased and used this reel.  Haven't bought a new reel in years due to the reliability of what I have but I am tempted with this one.   Thank you very much for any input.

This should help. Let me know if you have any more questions about these reels. I'd be glad to help. I've got two of them now and I'm looking to add a third. 

 

 

Gosh...I missed this....you did good on your explanations.  I too felt when I put it in my hand how it just molded in.  I have the older green Curado's and the pearl Chronarch's and they have stood the test of time and still are.  Even a couple of the smaller magnesium Chronarch's ....they are small but I believe the "K" fits in my hand better.  Thank you

I'm sure its a great reel. the gears are like that of the 279$ shimano who's name I'm blaming on. it micro modulus i  think tho. great reel for moving baits. home this helps
