Bonzo Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Buying my first big bait setup. I know I'll mostly be throwing baits in the 1-4oz range and figured that is a good range for a 200 size reel. What are some of your guys's favorites?

mjs90 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm a big fan of my Daiwa Coastal 200HS. I've been using it for both salt & freshwater and have 0 complaints. The foam grips are super nice for when your hands get wet/it's raining outside. The only downside is some people don't like the color, but I personally don't care. The thing has taken a beating Bonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacksonF Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 8 minutes ago, Firebaiter said: Calcutta conquest dc If the budget allows, I agree. Conquest 200dc is the best reel I’ve owned hands down. If you go that route, check out Digitaka.com. Best price on a new one and free shipping 89Fisher and Bonzo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Fisher Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Agree with @JacksonF best 200 dc reel ever. But if it came down to something cheaper I'd say either the 200e7 or tranx 200hg both awesome reels. Bonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoNinja Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 If on a budget, a tranx 200 has served me well Bonzo and Dink whisperer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 tatula 200 has been solid for me, great reel for the $$$, mine are going on their 3rd season with no issues, upgrade the handle is my mod recently upgraded to the shimano conquest 200 DC on two set ups and so far its a great reel. a pretty big price hike from most 200 sized reels but worth it if you plan on sticking with it even if not the higher end stuff holds its value great.

chevro1et Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Nobody has mentioned the Daiwa Zillion TW HD 1520 yet, it is an excellent performer. Bonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_larkin3 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Coastal 200 or Tatula 200. Daiwa designs the best reels BittyRanger and Bonzo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskid95 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I really like the Daiwa Tatula 200. I usually throw below 4 ounces on it, but its handled up to a deps 250 with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmann86 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I second what @JacksonF said about the conquest 200DC. The new conquest 200 is a close second to the 200 DC. The non dc is a more refined reel, smoother under load and more compact plus that are about $360ish on digitaka. The only reason it is second to the DC is the dc works amazing for chucking hardbaits specially when the wind picks up. JacksonF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoNinja Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 On the conquest dc, if using copoly, do u guys set the internal dial to N or F? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
