Default best $200 reel...
Looking to buy another reel. Thinking about Chronarch 50. What new inshore baitcasting reel under $200 would you buy? No eBay specials (used).

Outcast Baitcasting Reel. $150.00 and they work great! I got 1 on a rod at the house if you want to make a couple of casts with it.

No site yet but it does have the 12 bb. Very smooth! I've had one for about 4 months and love it. I get about 15 extra yards per cast from it over my Curado e7

IMO, double-digit bearings in a reel is overkill. The # of bearings does not always equate to a smooth reel. Look at the Chronarch SF.....probably the smoothest of any baitcaster ever, and, nowhere near 10-12 bearings.

The size is right in line with the Curado e7 and it is a very lite reel. I don't know the exact weight though.

A lot of reels are smooth and cast far out of the box but most don't stay that way for long. IMO get a shimano

Core's are tits but to pricey for this chump(me)
I really like the new Chronarch 50's
I think it is a good bang for the buck just my 2 cents

I am 95% sure I will be getting a Chronarch 50E with a custom made Duce Rod.
