    No experience with the Chronarch, but the Calcuttas are awesome. I also like the Curados.

    I've got a Chronarch and I like it better than the Calcutta basically becuase the lower profile fits my hand better than the round Calcutta. Both are good strong reels, it really just depends on what fits your hand and what your comfortable with, I don't think you'd go wrong with either reel.

    If it says Shimano on it you can't go wrong either way!

    I like my Curado; but I also have a Citica which is a cheaper reel I actually like the Citica better. I wonder if I need to adjust the Curado in some way? It does not cast as well. I have the E5 as opposed to the E7. I have played with the braking and noticed some improvement. It just does not seem as smooth as the Citiica?

    I think Chronarch and Calcuttas are way out of my price range at this time. I would like to try them before I bought one.

    Re: Help with Shimano reels ??????

    I have fished nothing but Shimano since I started fishing 15years ago. I have had all the upper class shimano reels from the curado to the calais. I would have to say the chronarch is one of my favorites. I have two older calcuttas but don't use them anymore. They are great reels but the chronarch to me is much better. The weight and size are important things to me when I fish. But it really is a matter of what you prefer. The new core reels are very nice as well. Hope that helps.
