Shimano Chronarch CH-200

[Flint River Pirate]

I have an old Chronarch that I bought 12-15 years ago. It was very expensive when I got it. I have always liked the reel. The anti-reverse has quit working on it and I can not find any of the old paperwork. Will Shimano fix it under warranty because I remember it having a lifetime warramty, I think. I have never had one that I felt worthy of repairing until now. Has anyone ever sent one off that has an idea of how much it will be? I am trying to decide if it is worth it. Thanks

Also - go to Shimano's website. They have a list of reels that they no longer have parts for. Unfortunately, I have an 8 yr old Stradic that they will not fix.

Sounds like it needs cleaning...antireverse is mechanical

Thanks Chalk, I will give it a shot. It has been on the back of my Polaris on many dirt roads. That could be the problem. I might take it over to Big Al's reel repair in Albany and see if he can work some magic. Thanks,

Shot some reel magic in the drain hole and shake it a little...if it starts working its dirty....has ever been cleaned? I clean mine every 5-6 trips.

Look at this schematic - part 3215 and 2404 is the anti reverse....usually 2404 is dirty or too greasy.

....has ever been cleaned?

No sir, I am ashamed to say. It has always just been a pond reel and has taken some abuse. I am about to try your advice. Thanks bud.
