New Reel, Shimano Chronarch D Or Chronarch Ci4+

[bmlum415]

help me out im trying to decide between these two reels for my next purchase. i know where to get either reel brand new so its not like im going to be buying a used chronarch d. any reasons why i should get one over the other?

Chronarch D is a proven reel, and the ci4 is an icast winner. Everyone raves about both reels, i dont think you can go wrong with either one personally. I think its comes down to what your using it for, and the gear ratio thats needed.

 

Ive had the chronarch 51mg, 51e, and now the ci4 151hg and thought they were all amazing reels, and each generation got better & better....

if you can get a chronarch d7 new in box...grab it and dont ever let it go.

Agree, you can always buy a CI4, they're still making them!

The D is an amazing reel...there is a reason they are very hard to find

I know of a tackle shop that has a d7 a few hours away brand new in box and I'll be near there on Monday. Very tempting. I just don't want to pay full price

[iabass8]

then you don't want a D7 bad enough. the price of that reel will only go up.

Yes and no, the way I'm thinking of it is that I can pay an extra 50 and get another core but on the other hand they don't make the d7 anymore. Anyone know if the d7 and core spools are interchangeable?
