There is no micromodule gear in Chronarch CI4+. If you dont believe me, may be official Shimano web will convince you: http://fishing.shimano.co.jp/product/reel/3512

Re: Metanium MGL vs. Chronarch Ci4+

I dont have Met MGL, but Met 13 HG use for 2 years and can compare with Chronarch CI4+ 151 HG. Both reel work with minnows on rods: Shimano Zodias 1610M-2 and Poison Adrena 172MH-2. Met have micromodule gears and feels more "butter", when you use it. Met's 6 brakes give you delicate tuning of SVS th...

Re: Shimano Zodias

Anyone recommend a Zodias for jerkbaits? Vision 110's, Pointer 100's, etc. Was thinking the 6'10"M? IMHO - perfect for these purposes. And Shimano recomended it too. http://i004.radikal.ru/1507/39/6e2eefa29db1.jpg This is my post, when i just recieved 1610M-2: http://forums.tackletour.com/viewtopic...
