[WPCfishing]

Ok, I just bought the hg.. 8+1

Tell me why I made a good decision!

When you purchase a Chronarch you have taken not a good but an excellent decision.

Thanks, The reel should be here by Friday! You know where I’ll be following delivery!

My bank account would like a word with you...

I have both and they're both very smooth. I do like the way the Bantam palms better. For me casting is about the same. Some say that the Bantam comes up a little shorter because of the close line guide orientation. I don't notice any difference.

I have 3 Chronarch CH 101 D7's super tuned that are buttery smooth & A Japanese Version of the Bantam MGL & I don't notice a difference between them. I think you did just fine with your choice of a reel.

I have 3 chronarch mgl’s and a bantam mgl. Love all 4 of these reels. The bantam is an amazing reel but the chronarch continues to impress me every time I use it. Have 1 on a glx 852c throwing lighter tubes, shakey heads, senko’s, Neko rigs and small poppers and it bombs them a mile! I have another on a glx 894c shipping’s jigs, pitching jigs and whopper plopper sometimes be into heavy cover with 50lbs line and have horsed out some real beauties in some thick cover. And had one on an 884 Twfr tossing 1/2oz -5/8oz frogs and 110 whopper ploppers just hammering bass in the thickest mats I fish and not once has these reels skipped a beat!!! The bantam now sits on the frog rod just because “it’s more designed for that purpose” and the chronarch moved too the nrx 853c

Reeeeealy smooth and nice and fast.  A reel ? pleasure with which to fish.

Noticed yesterday you could buy a Chronarch MGL at Digitaka for $235

[puddlepuncher]

It's a great reel.  I have a few and Met's, Curado K's and DC's.  The Chronarch is probably my overall favorite.  Shapewise, performance especially with light baits.  Winter is coming and the material does not transfer cold to the hands like a metal reel does.  You will love that reel.

Is the Chronarch MGL any good? The 4 that I keep in my rotation say yes.

And free shipping to boot! Looks like I have to decide on the HG or the XG now, and don't say "one of each" as I'm already wrestling with that option.

That’s a great price. I have 2 Chonarch MGL reels now. A Bantam MGL and the SLX MGL was ordered yesterday from Digitaka. 

These made in Japan reels are outstanding in every way.

Go Shimano!
