Can launch baits, has smooth drag and even smoother gearing, all the while being very dependable. This reel is, in my opinion, just what you would expect from Shimano.Ĭomments: In my opinion the best do everything reel on the market. Well worth the money.Ĭomments: I am embarrassed to say I probably own 40 Shimano reels of all models, and except for the I4 Chronarch's, with some being better than others they have all performed well with the MGL's being at the top of my list! They cast fantastic, super smooth drag and where they really shine over the other brands is there longevity! Not once have I been let down by Shimano reels, but I have seen many co-anglers in my boat have issues with other brands.Ĭomments: Smooth casting machine - the adjutants to prevent a bird nests are significantly improved over my old chronarchs, which were good! Ergonomics excellent, easily it's the hand making casting even large glide baits effortless. I will be purchasing many more in the future. It does all of this exceptionally well! A phenomenal reel at a fantastic price point!Ĭomments: Amazing reel, much better than the prior Chronarch model. It is my jerkbait/fluke/topwater popper/dark sleeper/shaky head rod. It has enough power for the toughest of fish and I love it! Currently this is paired with a 6'10" Med Shimano Expride. is my lightest currently and this reel has no issues casting it far), despite not being a BFS reel. The setup I have with this reel is light as a feather and it allows me to cast the lightest of baits a mile (3/16 oz. My favorite reel for worm and jig fishing.Ĭomments: I LOVE this reel. So far I've had no issues with any of the three and, as an 80 year old, I need light equipment which Chronarchs definitely are.Ĭomments: For finesse fishing I prefer Chronarch over Daiwa (using only the braking system for adjustments doesn't give the control that Chronarch provides with its cast control knob, numbered braking system and interior adjustments.) I own both brands but prefer Shimano at this price point.Ĭomments: Workhorse reel, light and sturdy. Great little reel for the price - I have two with braid on em for topwater and one with FC for jerk baits.

Great job once again Shimano!!Ĭomments: After using a Chronarch MGL I ordered 2 more. Tough decision considering both reels are absolutely amazing. My arsenal is all Shimano reels now and am up in the air on grabbing another Chronarch or another Metanium. The castability and smoothness of this reel is like a dream. It wasn't long after I grabbed the chronarch mgl and I absolutely love it.

But for the record, the Elite outdistances the MGL.Ĭomments: I've thrown Diawa reels for the last 5 years and had the opportunity to pick up a Chronarch earlier this summer. Honestly, both are great reels - can't go wrong. I bought this reel and a Daiwa Tatula Elite. If you can swing the extra coin I would go for Metanium, but if not this is a great reel for the price.Ĭomments: Due to chronic elbow tendinitis, I was looking for a couple new reels that increase casting distance with same/less effort. Not my favorite but it is a noticeable step up from the curado series. The Chronarch is a solid reel and is good for the price. Feels well above it's price point and performs well with a variety of uses, I've had everything from 10lb fluoro to 50lb braid with no complains yet.Ĭomments: I have owned just about every newer Shimano reel, from slx mgl up to Antares mgl70 and Antares dc Monster Drive. Easily performs on par with my Bantam MGL.

To further enhance precision, the Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reels combine X-Ship and MicroModule gearing to form a powerful, yet ultra-smooth gearing system. With casting distance covered, maximum control and accuracy is made possible with Shimano’s SVS infinity braking system, which allows for fine-tuning using the external dial. As a result, casting distance is increased by 15% when compared to the same capacity of a standard spool. More advanced than before, the Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reels have been re-tooled with Magnumlite Spools, which allow for a low moment of inertia, requiring very little force to get it spinning. Weighing-in at only 6.5oz, the Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reels are packed with some of Shimano’s most advanced technologies to provide anglers with a lightweight, tournament-ready package.
