Poll : Shimano Calcutta TE vs Chronarch
 

heres my dilemma i got the calcutta for christmas and i put line on it and it does really cast nice. I mean probably the best casting reel ive thrown. I put a 3/4 ounce weight on and threw a pretty good distance without adjusting the reel at all. But Im not sure i like the roundness of it also i could return it and almost get two chronarchs for the price so what should I do?

I dont own either reel but i have used the calcutta and its a really nice reel and it does cast extremely well. I don't mind the roundness all i used to fish with is ambassador 5600s. The chronarchs do look pretty sweet and probably cast just as good as the calcutta. I think I would have to go with the two chronarchs (never used one). They just look like a sweet reel and they should cast as good as the curados, which in my opinion should be good enough for anyone. If my g/f can cast one, i believe anyone can. Tough decision....

I brought a new Chronarch D1007 yesterday at Cabelas. Now I want to sell my 3 Curados. BTW, any reel that is round (regardless of the maker) you might as well use it as a BOAT ANCHOR!

Curado all day

how much you selling them for?? lol

Really I am not.........
Curados for the price.....you cannot beat them. However, if you want to move up in class then get the Chronarch. Even my 9 year old son can tell the difference between the two.:D

how quick your mind changes on things ASR

Once I try something and realize that it is better then what I have used in the past.....well I call this common sense. Again the Curados are way better than any hunk of junk Revo or Dawia coastal. :*****:

You got the DC?

bob, get the chronarchs . if you got the te dc i think it is a waist (there ya go w ) of money . if you r in br holler at me and you can test out the chronie and see what you think

2 is better than 1 in so many ways !!!!!

chronarch is a good solid reel, core 50 mg7 would be a fine choice also

chronarch uses brass gears core uses aluminum = lighter but can shear the teeth easier

I use two chronarchs as my main trout reels

my sentiments exactly! i am just throwing cast nets. :(

I know how you feel......at one time I did it to!:smokin:

never used the chronarch, but have several friends that guide and the calcuttas have held up for more than 5 years of almost daily use.

Now if we could get you to stop using those garbage Academy rodsmiths you would have a nice little combo!!!

Cannot since I spend all my $ on GREAT reels!:grinpimp: Them $50 rods are hard to beat!:)

I won't deny that!! For $50 they are a steal. I only like good quality rods, fancy reels might cast great but good rods help feel bites.

yeah the 250 dc

I would dump it and go for 2 chronarchs or 3 curados.
