Shimano really trimmed off the ounces and improved ergonomics with their new Chronarch D series baitcast reels, representing a major departure from the previous generation. Weight savings is achieved with the Chronarch D's aluminum frame and sideplate and an ultra-lightweight spool made from A7075 aluminum. Nothing was sacrificed in the way of power and smoothness; the D series retains the original A-RB® (Anti-Rust Bearings) roller bearing, HEG® (High Efficiency Gearing), SUPER STOPPER® anti-reverse bearings, Super Free (SF®), and VBS® (Variable Brake System).
