Super User rockchalk06 Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 I know the Chronarch has aluminum side plates, but what's the reason for the jump in price? Be nice, I really don't know much about them. Take the jump in price from the Revo S to the STX has more bearings, better breaking system and more speed options etc. Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Shimano's website has a nice compare feature. You could check that our and compare multiple reels. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 The Chronarch E is the same as the Curado E with some upgraded parts. Different frame and design between the E and G. Quote
OnthePotomac Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Just buy the Chronarch and you will be very happy. 1 Quote
21farms Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 chronarch has two more bearings, different drag washer, titanium line guide and the handle is drilled. also the spool and handle go through the anodizing process twice. however, the thing that probably impacts the price the most is that the chronarchs are made in japan whereas the curado Gs are manufactured in malaysia where everything is less expensive. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 know the Chronarch has aluminum side plates, but what's the reason for the jump in price? No, the Chronarch has composite side plates. The price difference has to do with slightly better components, and origin of manufacture, as pointed out in the post above. Quote
21farms Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 also, i think the drag stars are some sort of aluminum alloy on the chronarchs and a graphite composite on the curado Gs. 1 Quote

Different frame and design between the E and G. The Cronarch sits a bit lower to the rod it looks like? A Cronarch on a Crucial for cranking would be purdy!!!! Quote

Some of the reviews have said that the old Curado's are like the new Cronarch's. Quote

The guy on the Shimano product video said it has an aluminum frame and side plates? Quote

Super User rockchalk06 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 25, 2013 The bug is still there I see. Well it's more the rod. I really really like that 6'8" Medium MF top water rod. Throwing Popr's and minnows would be a dream with it. And if i put an Abu on it the world might shift causing you to go all Abu on us!! Quote
21farms Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Chronarch e series have a composite star. whoa, i got home and just checked...it is indeed not metal...i've only had the chronarch for a month and have played with it but never fished it yet but i never noticed. Quote

Super User Hooligan Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 The Chronarch used to have aluminum side plates. It is possible that you're watching an older product video. 1 Quote

Capt.Bob Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 The Cronarch sits a bit lower to the rod it looks like? A Cronarch on a Crucial for cranking would be purdy!!!! Sir it is obvious the fever has struck with that Curado purchase!!! Just want to warn,,,,,,,If you got a fever that quick, upgrading from an Abu,,,,,,,Please heed the warning and don't try a Lew's, if you do get another job!!! Quote
