I need some advice.
I want to put together an inshore rod that can double as a cranking rod for LMB. I'm going to use a Falcon Lowrider Salt Reds Caster for the rod, which I already have and like a lot.
I need advice on the reel. Shimano Chronarch 200e5, or Curado 200PG?
Both are 5.5:1
Both hold the same amount of line
Chronarch has 11# drag, Curado has 12#
Curado weighs .2 oz less
This has probably been discussed before, but why should I buy one over the other?
Any advice is appreciated.

Lew's Speed spool cant be beat. Ive switched over all my salt and bass rigs to the assortment of Lew's with the different gear ratios. lighter, cast further, smoother.

The Chronarch E
Pretty much a rebranded Curado E.
Lew's are a great option also. I have a Super Duty on a 8' Castaway inshore rod that gets double duty as a crankbait/inshore rig. If you can get a Curado E, junp on it. They sell on ebay frequently.

I've had too many issues with shimano bait caster's in the last 5 years. Switched to the daiwa tatula and haven't looked back. I have 1 13 fishing concept C that I uses strictly for plastics with 1/16 and 1/8oz jig heads. The daiwas have just plain held up better and the concept is ridiculously light weight

I have two ancient (1995?) Chronarchs that I still use. I bought a new Chronarch two years ago and frankly I'm not nearly as impressed with it. I'm thinking of switching to something new.
