bigbuck28 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Would this be a good reel for swimbaits? I found a really good deal on a used one but am concerned that it doesn't hold enough line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonmitch Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Too small IMO, smallest I’d go is a 200 sized reel but 300 would be your most versatile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asavamedhi Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I think the chronarch is more of a finesse reel. Smoother gears, light materials used. Not sure if it would hold up to the abuse of big baits. Excellent for keitechs and smaller baits IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORTHERN_GLIDER Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 SHIMANO chronarch CI4+ is a great reel but not a swimbait reel. You could get away with 6 inch swimbaits but would not go bigger than that. But did I mention it is a great reel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still felt like new after all those fish. NORTHERN_GLIDER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck28 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks for the replies I ended up buying a new Diawa Lexa in the 6-3-1 instead for basically the same money. NORTHERN_GLIDER and northeast_trev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
