New Reel And Rod

[DoctaJ]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Just curious if anyone has or has used the chronoarch mg. I've been looking at it very hard. I want a light weight set up to throw 1/8 oz jigs. I've been throwing them on my 6'6" medium st. croix legend with a pfluger supreme but I think it would feel better to have a lighter set up. The mg weighs 5.9 oz only 2/10 of an oz more than the steez. Abu has the Revo Premier that feels nice, but it hasn't been out that long. Then there is the shimano Core that is light, but I don't like it a bit. I'm going to put this reel on a 6'8" ML croix legend rod. Opinions? Thanks for the info!

I like the StCroix rods, guess that's why I have eight of thre rods. The only difference is I use Medium with a fast tip. Just pair the rods with the right reel for the correct balance. Not sure what size reel you have paired with the rods.

Check out the Fig Rig rod's... Very sweet in the moderate price zone

My buddy built a 6'6" medium light rod for me on a St Croix scv blank. He put titanium guides on it and made a burled cork handle. I put a chronarch 50MG on it. It is a beautiful rig and a joy to cast. Light as a feather. Before I use a new reel I strip it down and clean all the factory grease out of it. Then I polish with jewelers rouge the spool shaft, inside the pinion gear, the brake ring and the drag faces. then I use a little powdered graphite on the drag and Quantum hot sauce on the gears and bearings. Makes a good shimano even better. turp
