Shimano Chronarch MGL 150

Batch of Made in Japan Chronarch MGL reels available from Helsinki Boat Expo 7th to 16th of February, 2025. You'll find reels from our booth!  

Shimano Chronarch MGL 150 weighs only 184 grams and is packed with Shimano's most advanced technology, offering top-class performance highly appreciated by competitive anglers and enthusiasts alike. The Chronarch is manufactured in Shimano's factories in Japan, ensuring the quality of this reel. The enhanced MagnumLite spool provides an extremely low moment of inertia, which practically means that very little effort is required for casting, improving the performance with lightweight lures and enabling longer and more accurate casts.

In addition, the Chronarch MGL reel is equipped with Shimano's MicroModule gearing, delivering a more efficient power transmission and an even smoother and more precise feel. This reel is designed to provide the best possible experience for freshwater anglers and maximize fishing enjoyment.

Features of Shimano Chronarch MGL 150:

• Made in Japan
• Micro Module Gearing - Made of pure aluminum, cold-forged main gear with very small teeth to minimize friction and reduce play to a minimum. Thanks to the tiny teeth, the gears remain in constant contact, significantly enhancing the reel’s sensitivity and feel. Only Shimano can achieve this!
• X-Ship. Shimano's X-Ship feature ensures that critical parts of the mechanism are precisely supported at both ends. This results in exceptional power and torque, which you’ll notice when battling your record-breaking catch!
• Lightweight MagnumLite (MGL) spool spins effortlessly, making it easy and enjoyable to cast even lightweight lures!
• SVS Infinity braking system consists of four centrifugal brake pads. The pads can be adjusted via the quick-access side plate or the external fine-tuner. Each brake pad can be enabled or disabled individually. This system provides an exceptionally wide range of adjustment.
• CI4+ material is a perfect composite of carbon fiber and polyamide. It is nearly as strong as metal but as lightweight as composite. CI4+ material is used in the frame and rotor of Shimano reels.
• Cross Carbon Drag fishing brake. Shimano Cross Carbon brake plates ensure consistent braking power throughout the entire adjustment range and allow for an extensive drag power adjustment area.
• S3D (Shimano Stable Spool Design). The innovative spool design reduces spool vibrations during casting, enhancing the fishing experience even further.
• S A-RB bearings are made of stainless steel. The surface of the A-RB bearing is harder than standard bearings, reducing rolling resistance. These bearings are also significantly more corrosion-resistant than regular steel bearings. Additionally, the S-type bearing is sealed, preventing dirt from entering.
• Super Free System (SF) is designed to minimize spool friction during casting. In the SF system, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, reducing friction during casting. Additionally, the pinion gear and spool shaft are perfectly aligned.
• 8+1 bearings
• CHMGL150HG model, right-handed, gear ratio: 7.1
• CHMGL151XG model, left-handed, gear ratio: 8.1
