Does anyone own these or used them.  What are your opinions?

IMO the Chronarch 50Mg is the "perfect" reel for most bass fishing.

I have and use 5 of them....  and am honestly considering another.  I keep a couple of them with the curado 100B spools in them for increased line capacity. (since i use mostly heavy mono)  

I guess I like them pretty well.  ...lol

I really think they are a great value in reels... very light, cast awesome, very smooth drag, look cool, etc.  I place a high premium on light weight so if you don't, temper this endorsement a little.  ...lol

I wouldn 't say perfect, if it were perfect I would have traded my other reels in favor of the Chronarch Mg, it 's an excellent reel at a very good price taking in consideration that most magnesium reels cost a lot more than it.

5.9 ounces, good line capacity, castig easiness, no temperamental braking system, no temperamental drag system, clicking drag star for 250 bones ..... it don 't get better than that for that kind of money.  ;)

I absolutley LOVE mine. ;D ;D ;D ;D

i have 2 and i love those reels

1 is stock the other i have gone crazy with

zpi handle cork knobs sic bearings upgraded drag

there sweet reel for around 200-250

I just purchased one early this season. All I can say is that I just purchased another one. Unbelievable when you couple this reel to a GLX. This reel is worth every penny.

Thanks for all the input guys.  It is now on order.

Don 't forget to order a Shimano baitcast neoprene reel cover !

The reel doesn 't come with one, it comes with a reel pouch, the cover is a must if you want to keep the clear coat of the reel, it 's scratch/peel prone.

Thanks Raul...

Jonny Morris baitcast reel covers fit shimano 100 size reels like a glove. I have one on every reel I have. Check Ebay I picked up 8 for 24 dollars.
