Shimano downgraded their whole line, new chronarch is the old curado.

Curado is the curado, just a step down from last curado.

Let me make sure I got this straight...........


Shimano has found a way to make their Chronarch better than their previous model and retail it for $100 less? Maybe they should take a shot at solving the national deficit.

Maybe you shouldn't base the performance and durability of a Chronarch on this economy model that's about to hit the market.

Maybe so. I meant smart for doing it from a business stand point. They will sell the Chronarchs like they were selling the Curado and now sell X2 the Curados.

I've had The newer style Curado, Chroni, and Core, and now only have the Core's. 2 100, and 3, 50mgs, with zero probs or failures in 4 yrs. they r more expensive, but r bad to the bone. I only used Calcutta 200GTB's for the longest time till I tried the cores, and now im sold. I still use my GTB's for fishing big trout at rigs, and winter time reds, but the cores r my go to reels. Nothing wrong with the Chroni or curodo, but didn't seem near as smooth or solid than the Cores. JMO.
