Chronarch

[SteveP]

I am in the market for a new baitcaster this year. Don't mind spending up to $200 for a reel I will have for a decade or so. I prefer left hand retrieves. I like the light weight of the Chronarchs. Any comments from those who have used them for a while? Or any other recommendations for other reels in the 8 oz. range.Thanks

The word from a musky newsgroup I subscribe to is Shimano's Calcutta is their best. Those guys don't even consider anything else from Shimano. Most of the people in the newsgroup are from Wisconsin and Ontario. Quite a few guides that would like a less expensive reel for their clients to use.
