Yes.

I think Shimano will be releasing a new Chronarch sometime next year. I heard a rummor about a new reel in March 09 (not sure if this reel in March 09 will be the new Chronarch or another new reel) and all the other new 09 Shimano's will be released in July 09 at ICAST.

Well, after all of that, ended up buying one of each the price was so good. To get a MG50 and a 100BSV delivered to your door for $388.00 seemed like stealin'. Now I can't wait to figure out which one I like best.

Still curious if Bantam or someone else has some input regarding the "brass gear set" for the MG50?

I see four gears in the MG50. Two idle gears (BTN2400 & 2451), a drive gear (BTN3158) and a pinion gear (BTN3163). When you say "the brass gear set", is that all four of those gears, or just the pinion gear, and is there a P/N associated with it?

I just got one of these reels, would you suggest changing the gears out before using it, or would you wait until the first time you needed to tear it down? Thanks a ton.

These are the part numbers for the brass gear set:

BNT1325
BNT2405

They are not required if you are good about maintaining your reel. Most issues have been directly related to corrosion on the main gear. Water will sit in between the main and pinion gear causing electrloysis. This eats away at the coating on the main gear and reduces the hardness of the gear ultimately causing the teeth to strip under a heavy load.

Hey Bantam1, What are the part numbers for the mg51 gears? Also are you allowed to tell us anything about the new Chronarchs coming out?

You guys should know by now that I cannot discuss future products until they are released or I am given the OK to do so.
