th365thli Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 What are the main differences between these two Chronarchs? I can get the CI4 for 170 but is it worth it to get the mgl? As far as I know the main things are the braking and the micro module gearing Quote
Stephen B Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Get the MGL. The CI4 for $170 I would definitely pass on. Quote
Boogey Man Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 If the CI4 is new, that's a heckava deal. It's a very good casting reel even without the MGL spool. Quote
th365thli Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 It's not new but the seller claims it's in great condition. The pics check out I guess. 1 hour ago, Stephen B said: Get the MGL.

th365thli Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 The seller just offered 275 for two Chronarch CI4+. I think that's a screaming deal. Guess this thread resolved itself lol. Quote

Guess this thread resolved itself lol. If they’re in excellent condition that’s a great buy. I’m very happy with my Chronarch CI4s, mine have all been professionally serviced and super tuned which really made them shine. My Chronarch MGL is also excellent but I actually found my original CI4s easier to dial in the brakes. 1 Quote

Hmm, why do you you say that? That's more than 100 dollars cheaper than an MGL A couple reasons. I don't buy used reel. Also I prefer the MGL. However, that's just me. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Hope you like them and enjoy them. Quote

Thanks, I ended up getting 3 for 400 and a curado 70 for 100. They are used of course so taking a leap of faith but his reasons for selling and pictures check out. Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I am inclined to agree on the similarity in performance. I have both and enjoy both, but in a reel to reel performance analysis it would be splitting hairs. But then at my age my sensitivity factors may be failing. LOL. 1 Quote
LonnieP Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I have both. The handle is a lot nicer on the MGL. It is also smoother than my Ci4 but it is a lot newer. You can save about 40 to 50 dollars is you order a Mgl from Japan. 1 Quote
