Shimano Chronarch

[bassin101]

I read where the Calais has a lifetime warranty. Does the Chronarch alson have a lifetime warranty?

[davidsa]

Not to my knowledge. You might try the shimano web site under warranty.

I have 8 of them and yes they have a life time warranty. Send them back once a year for cleaning, $15 or $25.00 for s/h.

Is the $25 for all 8 of them? What do they charge for cleaning? That's a pretty sweet deal. I just got a Calais for X-Mas and was thinking about getting a Chronarch as well. I just hope I don't get spoiled with the Calais.

there is no life time warranty on the Shimano Chronarch.

They used to repair as many reels as you could send for one flat rate, however I believe they have changed. Im almost sure they do replace a reel if it has too many problems. I would call that a lifetime warranty.

Shimano doesn't advertise a lifetime warranty. They do advertise a limited lifetime warranty.I have 4 chronarchs, 2 sedonas, and one older Bantam, and have many friends that have Shimano's likewise. Geobass you are correct about sending them back for a small fee, and Shimano will replace bearings and such as well as clean them. I had a buddy who had some chronarchs get damaged in a boat fire. He sent them to Shimano and they replaced them with brand new reels. So I guess both geobass, and kyriver are correct. Don't hesitate to send them back to Shimano they'll stand behind them.
