I have one of the new ones. It's nice, but I've heard it's just last years curado with a new paint job... I don't know if it's true but I've got 2 curds from last year and I can't tell the difference. You may see if you can get an e series curado on eBay...

I have heard that the old curados went to cheaper parts and and the new chronarchs are the old curados. Didnt know if there was a difference and if I should target the old chronarchs or the new ones. I liked the curados but changing them has scared me from buying a new one. I would rather spend the money on something proven and not changed.

I own several of the Chronarch 50mgs. They are far superior to the new Chronarchs (Curado200Es). I'd love to get my hands on a few more. If you see any for less than $150 you better grab it.

The new chronarchs resemble the e series curados very closely.

Yup, the new Chronarch is the old Curado repainted white and made in Malaysia.
I rather have the old Curado 200E7 over the new Chronarch 200E7.
Talk about Chronarch, I have a very nice Chronarch BSV and BPV for sale if anyone interesed, just send me a PM.

I find the new Chronarch is a lot smother and better casting than my E7. IMO although I did have a brand new one go down the crapper on me the other day.

Picked up a new Chronarch E7 at Academy last week. I like the white, it matches my Duckett rod. Been trying to find an E6 but all the stores are sold out. Found an older Curado E7 at Wal Mart a few days ago for 150.00.
Catch em, kiss em, let em go

I think the BEST low profile reel for fresh water fishing is the CORE 50 MG7. All the MG7 people that I know love this reel to death.

I have an older MG that is gold in color that I think is a much better reel than my white cronarch. My Core is better than both, it is older though.
