Just about any angler who has heard of Shimano reels knows about the legendary
performance of the Chronarch reels. Shimano added a whole new level of excellence when
they brought out the Shimano Chronarch MG. Chronarch stands for uncompromising
quality
and the MG stands for magnesium, the space-age ultra light metal used to
build the tough one-piece frame. This means you get a much lighter
reel, the Chronarch MG50 weighs less than 6 ounces, and extreme durability without flexing
even under heavy loads. When you hold this reel in your hand you can't believe how light it
is. In addition to the revolutionary magnesium frame, the Chronarch
MG50 offers the super-light all aluminum wiffle spool for easy start up for longer smoother
casts, Super Stopper instant anti-reverse, and Shimano's VBS braking system that allows
you to fine tune your reel for backlash free performance. The Chronarch MG50 is also a
Super
Free reel, which means there is virtually no drag on the spool for longer casts with less effort. The MG50
also offers features not found on the larger 100MG, like a recessed reel foot so this already
compact reel fits lower to the rod for more control. Magnesium is normally highly corrosive
in salt or brackish water conditions but Shimano has treated all magnesium parts with a
special coating that will protect the lightweight metal and enable you to use these reels
anywhere! If you want a smooth, tough, high-end, lightweight reel
to compliment your expensive, super light rods, here it is.
