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 MG 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 MG 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 MG is also a Super Free reel, which means there is virtually no drag on the spool for longer casts with less effort. The MG 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.
