Super User NorthernBasser Posted December 1, 2019 Super User Posted December 1, 2019 I ordered the Megabass Orachi Diablo. I plan on using it for swim jig, underspins and maybe spinnerbaits from time to time. The 2 reels I've been thinking about are the Curado DC and the Chronarch MGL. I don't have any experience with either one, so was wondering what your guys thoughts are who have fished them. I have read that the Chronarch is better suited for bottom contact presentations tho. Is that true? I'm open to other suggestions as well. I do have a handful of Curado K's and Tatula's (and a few Lew's) which I am happy with, so I could go that route I suppose. But I wanted to try something different this time. Thanks. Quote
Efishin Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Great rod! I really like the Chronarch MGL but the DC is nice too. You can't go wrong. 1 Quote
JLewis134 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 The Chronarch MGL as it's a sweet reel! They are so smooth and refined. I'd opt for the Chronarch MGL. Lightweight, smooth and one of my favorites. 1 Quote
FrogMann Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Chronarch MGL! The MGL spool will spoil you in a good way lol. Such a good reel. I do prefer the Chronarch MGL for bottom contact as it feel lighter and balances my rod better 1 Quote
newyorktoiowa57 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 I have both, and for moving baits I would recommend the DC-I prefer an aluminum reel for resistance baits. Congrats on the new rod! I have been curious about that model myself for a while. The JDM Scorpion MGL is also sweet, and the red would match the red on the snakes tongue. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted December 1, 2019 Super User Posted December 1, 2019 Another vote for the Chronarch and, if it's in the budget, the Bantam would be worth a strong consideration. Not to make this more complicated, but some places had BF specials on Metanium MGL's for $299. Should be a great fit with any of these reels or those mentioned above (including Daiwa). 1 Quote
