zachb34 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 What would you guys do get that new revo s or the lews tournament? The new revo can be found for 110 during the labor day sales and the lews at 120. If it helps it will be on a veritas used for worms and stuff and I'm looking at gear ratios in the 6.0 range Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 3, 2012 Super User Posted September 3, 2012 I would just get a Chronarch and be done with it. Seriously, I would go for the Abu, I think they are more solid. The new S is pretty impressive looking compared to the old one. Im sure mechanically they are just as bomb proof. Quote
Arv Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I have a Lews TSS on a Veritas and love it. I don't think you can go wrong with either though. The new revo's are looking pretty awesome and that S would match real nice like on a Veritas. Quote
zachb34 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 I would like the chronarch but I'm a little tight on cash do you know of any good deals? Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 3, 2012 Super User Posted September 3, 2012 Unfortunatly Shimanos $30 deal has passed, and they dont have to make good deals due to their product following. I know there is a Chronarch for sale on the market thread. You might want to jump on it if still available. Otherwise, its gonna be on ebay, or just fork up the money. All I can say is that the reel is worth the money in the long run for dependabiity and lonhevity. Quote
Kevinator1 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Oh boy that is a tough one. I have the Lew's Speed Spool which I got new for $89.00 and it is alot better than I thought it would be. I had 3 of the 2nd generation Revo S and it was great but a little heavy. Now the 3rd generation Revo S has everything I have wanted in the Revo series. They made it slightly smaller, lighter and widened the spool. And then, that white color with the black highlights, oh man, they sold me big time. I've got 3 on order from my local tackle shop. Couldn't believe how Abu Garcia read my mind! Still can't go wrong with the Lew's either. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 If you're considering the Chronarch, I'd save up until I had enough for it. Them babies are smoother than smooth. I love mine. Quote
WIBassMan Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I was in your situation a few weeks ago also...was deciding between the tournament pro and the gen 3 stx. In the end I purchased a used tournament pro at a great price in the flea market section and then preordered a stx with the great labor day sales going on. In the end it's only money right ... Quote
msolorio Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I'd go with lew's over the curado e, woops I mean the chronarch. You'd be surprised at how smooth lews reels are, especially the tourney pro. They do have a few new models coming out in October that are going to be awesome! Already have them pre ordered. I wouldn't mind checkin out one of the new revos though. They look siiick! 1 Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Mechanically they're identical. Go with the best deal you can find. Quote
Arv Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 If they are the same mechanically, there are some Lews Tournament reels up in the flea market you might want to check out. Quote
j.bruno Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Try to find a lews tournament pro on ebay for around $150. Smoothest reel i own. Quote
zachb34 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 I already have the tournament pro j.bruno Quote
j.bruno Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Nice man. You love it as much as i do? Quote
zachb34 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 ive only used it a few times but its smoother than my curado Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 6, 2012 Super User Posted September 6, 2012 But arent you glad you bought the Chronarch instead of the hamburger? I told you eating is overrated, go fishing instead, lol. Give a man a hamburger he eats for a day. Give a man a Chronarch, he eats for a life time! Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 6, 2012 Super User Posted September 6, 2012 I have fondled the Lews a few times, they are fantastic reels. Very smooth and feel very solid. That said, I went with the new Revo s. I know how to work on Abu's and the new look it dead sexy. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted September 6, 2012 Super User Posted September 6, 2012 Give a man a hamburger he eats for a day. Give a man a Chronarch, he eats for a life time! Give a man a Chronarch, and he may never eat again. He'll love it so much, he will always be fishing. lol Hootie Quote
