April 12th, 2010 by admin | 14 Comments | Filed in Low Profile Baitcasting Reels

The Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster.

Shimano introduced the 1st Chronarch in 1993 and since then new materials, new design features and new technologies tend to be utilized by each upgraded line-up of the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster group of reels.

Shimano has always combined the top features from old and added them to the brand new to create very successful reels.

The redesigned Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster is packed with exciting features that make this reel far better than ever before.

Now most of these modern features are found in the latest Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster

When you lift it from your box first of all , what you’ll see is a new sleek body design which has resulted in a significant weight reduction and improved ergonomics. The next thing you see is the colour and very durable finish on the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster because of the Ion Plating technology exclusive to Shimano, this exact Ion Plating was adopted for the Stella Reels.

Take notice of the Aluminium spool so far as I know its a brand new design to give you longer and smoother casts,it somehow reduces inertia allowing the spool to spin considerably quicker

The entry point to access the VBS centrifugal braking system has been changed from the screw lock system to a user friendly trigger system saving time if you have to make changes/adjustments while fishing.

Another exclusive recent innovation of shimano’s is the HEG; High Efficiency Gearing.They have increased the diameter of the gear wheels which gives far more leverage and much greater speed on the retrieve.

Some other popular features of the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster are the Dartanium Drag material which gives you the smoothest drag ever, specially treated anti-rust bearings A-RB along with plenty additional features of the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster group of reels listed below.

Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels

February 27th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Round Baitcasting Reels

Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels Great Casters

Do you ever have trouble casting?  These Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels are great for casting if you have trouble keeping the cast under control.

If your preference is heavy line, grab one of these Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels.  For you deep sea fishermen out there, these Round Baitcasting Reels handle heavy line like a charm.

And, if you’re like me, you might have trouble (occasionally – let’s face it, even the best have issues sometimes…) placing the lure exactly where you want. Round Baitcasing Reels facilitate spool thumbing, thus allowing you to place the lure exactly where you want it. Pretty cool, huh? Personally, I wish more reels had this feature.

I know I said the Round Baitcasting Reels were a piece of cake to cast,

and I might have exaggerated a little bit. Let me clarify:

Shimano Reels are easier than most to cast

Baitcasters, by nature, require more skill to cast

Round Baitcasting Reels take practice to learn but are easier than most

Also, as discussed above, this is a Fishing Reel for a heavy lure / line combo. Don’t even think about tossing out a light lure – this Shimano Reel won’t do it.

The good news is that you can expect pricing to start around $70 bucks. Not bad for Shimano Reels, right?

Ok, let’s talk about the negatives. I know I’ve been pumping up Baitcaster, but I have to be honest with you – there are a few ugly truths about baitcasters.

With Baitcasters, you’re going to get backlashes. Just a matter of fact. Certainly nothing against Shimano Reels. So if you’ve got your heart set on one of the Round Baitcasting Reels, just expect to spend a little (and I do mean a little, not a lot) of time working out backlashes.

Another downer about baitcasters is that they’re one of the more complicated reels (part wise) out there. Cleaning this puppy will be a chore. But then, cleaning any reel can be a chore! Luckily, Shimano Reels are constructed extremely well, so you’ll be impressed when you take it apart for that initial cleaning. Then again, you could always out-source your cleaning…

All in all, every true fisherman needs a baitcaster. My preference: Shimano Round Baitcasting Reels. They’re the best, hands down. Round out your collection if you don’t own one already. You’ll regret not being able to use the round baitcaster when you’re in a situation that demands one. And trust me, the cleaning isn’t that bad. That’s the best part about going with Shimano Reels – any negatives are so few and far between that they’re totally worth it!

It’s like comparing coca-cola and pepsi (sorry pepsi fans!).

Seriously though, one is clearly better. And in the case of Round Baitcasting reels, nothing beats Shimano Reels.

Round out that collection, check out Shimano’s range of Round Baitcasting Reels today.
