The Chronarch is a very nice reel.
My team and I have been using that
reel and you can tell it's a Shimano.
The smoothness is there and it's
a workhorse. It's durable and you
won't have to worry about it breaking
down on you.

But there are other reels that are
comparable or even slightly better
and cheaper if you don't mind using
other brands. I think when it
comes down to the level of the reel,
a big part of it is user preference.
Some people uses only Shimano. Some
are hardcore Daiwa, and some that
just don't want to spend that much
money but want the performance will
go for brands like Quantum, Pflueger,
etc.

TackleTour will post the review up
on the Chronarch SF in a couple of
weeks. We are working on other exciting
products right now.
