Converting a Chronarch into a Curado?
Well, not really. I received my 3.8 ratio Curado for Christmas today. I
tried it out in the back yard pond and I can see that the slower retrieval rate SHOULD help my fishing. I own an older Bantam Chronarch which is, I believe, a 5.1 retrieve ratio reel. Can I buy another gear ( either Chronarch or Curado) and just switch gears on the Chronarch to slow its rate of retrieve? ( I know about taking half the line off, but that is not what I want to do ) . Any help appreciated RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners ..

Hey Rich, when you're done with that project can you turn my Grumman into a
Ranger 522? Thanks! Warren "RichG" wrote in message . com... Well, not really. I received my 3.8 ratio Curado for Christmas today.

Converting a Chronarch into a Curado?
NO, but if you look carefully at my goals, I can probably turn a Ranger 522
into a Grumman... -- RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners .. "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

Rich, How old is that Chronarch? If it is pearl white, it is a 6.3:1 retreive and you can add the Curado gear. I've been doing this for years, except I've been changing to a 5:1 gear. If it's older (silver with a power handle) you can not interchange the gear. Jack ~~ Jack Dalzell www.jdbass.com www.OutdoorFrontiers.com ~~

It is older, a silver one, I'm afraid.
I also have a gold FS ( but I like it very much ) would that work? RG -- RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners .. wrote in message oups.com...
