I have to look at it from the standpoint I buy 3 or 4 at a time. I carry about 2000.00 dollars in rods and reels in my driftboat at the same time. If you were guiding and wanted a reel that was gonna stand up and still be affordable I dont think you would buy 4 Chronarchs...I have Calcuttas and the like, with all Loomis and Lami rods so money isnt the issue. I just really wanna know if there better than the Corsair?...Do they compare in durability to the Ambassaders? And are they gonna stand up to 100 to 130 days of fishing a year? Are they designed for the avarage person or the mentally insane who have given up marriage and a family to persue a passion that is driving there life. Like me!!!
I appreciate the post though, that reel is phenominal, but they want near 900.00 dollars for the amount of them Im looking for...
