The new Shimano Chronarch D Series mirrors the sleek body design of the highly popular magnesium Core reels, a design that provides improved ergonomics and some serious weight reduction. Shimano combined old and new to create the D Series employing cosmetics from the white Chronarch A and gold Chronarch SF, while maintaining the upgrades from the B Series like HEG gearing, Escape Hatch, Magnumlite Spool and Dartanium Drag.
The Chronarch D is constructed with an aluminum frame and sideplates, Shimano also incorporated an ultra lightweight A7075 aluminum spool with the Magnumlite spool design. One added benefit that is not present in the Core reels is the addition of S A-RB bearings, these bearings are treated like the A-RB bearings but are also shielded on both sides reducing the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings rotation. The D Series Chronarch incorporates many of the Shimano premium features and is built tough for years of use.

Comments: I caught my 7lber on this reel and it had no problem pulling the fish out of thick weeds. Great reel!!!

Comments: I won this reel at a local tournament last month and let me tell you this thing is great. A lot smoother caster than the Curado. Goes great with a shimano Cumara 7'2" extra fast
Comments: I have 4 of these now. I've owned about every shimano reel they have put out in the last 13 years, and this is my favorite. I use them for everything except cranking since mine are all D7s. Wish they made it in a D6. Next to the Calais, they are the best reel out there....

Comments: love mine got a 5lber with it the first time i took it out

Comments: If you are going to commit $300 to a fishing reel, this is the one. It's casting capabilities alone are worth it. On the north shore every foot of distance matters and since using this reel my lake trout catches have gone up considerably. Spoons just disappear into the horizon. For the money you also get the smoothest reel in it's class as well as a terrific drag for when you tie into a big steelhead or the occasional pike. Prefer it to a Zillion any day of the week.

Comments:Awesome reel no doubt! VERY solid, casts great, smooth retrieve and handles fish excellently. Would like to see a power handle offered like the core 100mgfv. Definitely my favorite reel thus far.
From:John: St. Louis, MO
Comments:I bought this reel about 2 weeks ago, HOLY COW!!! If you have $300 to spend on a reel, DO IT!!! I have it matched up with a USA custom camo stix rod in 7' medium. PERFECT COMBO!!! And it looks good too!!! Definitely worth every penny!

Comments:Comments:The Chronarch D is the "Reel Deal". Lightweight and casting is very smooth even with lighter applications. The ergonomics are genius, it fits perfectly in your palm. The appearance/design gives the impression you're fishing with alien intelligence. Goes well with the Shimano Cumara rods.
