Chronarch CI4+

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Chronarch CI4+

Just thought I'd pass along that Zona just posted a video to YouTube of the new Chronarch CI4+. Not many details but you can catch a look at it.

Wow I can't believe you don't like it, I thought it looked great. I understand though "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Personally I liked the looks of it. I'm a Daiwa guy outside of my two 100DC's, and TE100GT, which I crank with, so I probably won't be buying anymore shimano LP's, but I still would like to get my hands on one and see what the CI4+ is all about....

Palm plate side is reminds me a little of a Quantum ACS LP reel...granted the vid froze up on me. I'll have to go back and watch it again in full.

Haha, I knew just never saw the reel. The CI4+ and the new Stradic CI4+, cool beans to Shimano.

Nice...a more angular look vs the 2013 Metanium...on a side note, the TDZ still has styling influence!

Good to see that Shimano will save some "face" with this CH vs the E, good gawd!
