Default bait monkey

yep guys i just got hit hard by the baitmonkey. I just bought a new shimano chronarc mg and it set me back 300 dollars. But the reel looks great and is very very light. only 50 grams. ill let yall know how it performs because im going wade fishing tommorow for some big speceld trout in the gulf.

Great reel! I'd double check to make sure it is OK to use in Saltwater-magnesium corrodes real bad in saltwater. From what I've seen on that reel, though, I think you will be OK.

yea reb i just looked on the shimano website and it said that it was good to go for saltwater. thanks for the heads up about that though. but i also have my curado 100d as a backup so i wouldnt be in that big of a bind.

thanks

Good luck tomorrow! Watch them storms if they are in the area. We got a real frog strangler this morning and it looks like what caused them is headed your direction.

Bassintxlady and I, both have MG's, and we have been so happy with them, that we went to BPS saturday, and she got another one, but I opted for the Chronarc 101. Bassintxlady also picked up a loomis she had her eye on for awhile, and of course, no trip to BPS would be complete without some plastics, total bite from our bait monkey trip this time was.....ready for this.....wait for it.......drum roll...........$1038.00. Ouch you say, well, that at the end of it, after that we went back to gander mountain to find something we didn't see at BPS, needless to say, we didn't get out of there cheap either.The good news is, we saved about 75.00 in gas by not going fishing this weekend.
