Chronarch chronicles
THERE'S been a decade of development and refinement put into Shimano's Chronarch baitcasters.
The modern generation features seven bearings — six A-RB ball bearing and one stainless steel roller bearing — while the Dartanium II Cross Carbon drag has a wide range, capable of fishing a variety of line breaking strains (both mono and braid).
Chronarchs also have High Efficiency Gearing (HEG), a single piece frame made from aircraft-grade aluminium and a Magnumlite spool drilled for additional weight saving and freer movement.
The Variable Braking System (VBS), which is accessed by a turn key mechanism on the sideplate, means even newcomers to baitcaster use can be casting like a pro in no time flat.
