Bsampson Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I am looking on reviews on 200 sized reels. Any and all. I posted a question about them in the underground and I am realizing I need to keep digging on reels and I am hoping people wouldn’t mind giving first hand accounts on those sized reels. Hopefully this can be a thread other members can come for a good overview on this sized reel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerkbait22 Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Antares dc md palms great but my 18 got geary after 1 season. I have a conquest dc hg that’s also really nice. Haven’t put in as much time on that but it seems to have more power and palms nicely for a round reel.

Morph808 Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 For me, it's very tough to beat the Zillion HD 1520SH. Smooth gears but with lots of power. Can cast a wide range of baits and has plenty of line capacity for 20lb copoly or fluorocarbon. Bsampson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmann86 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 If you have the budget just get a conquest 200 and never look back. It’s Rolex refinement and built like a tank. Shimano really hit a home run with the latest models. Bsampson and Bass_blaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfishing24/7 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) The tranx 200 has been my favorite lately buttery smooth & I been fishing it with 18# fc sniper & it casts great & handles 3oz baits with ease! I have mine paired with a gomexus 110mm handle with flat knobs & it feels great overall Edited July 26, 2023 by bassfishing24/7 Add Bass478, Bsampson, bake and waker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra2bach Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’m using a 200 Tranx 7:1 for 6” magdrafts, TK, 168 S Wavers, etc on my junk rod. That’s a 13 Defy H cranking rod with the top 5” broke off and I replaced the tiptop. I kept this for kayak fishing because of the short handle but I’m surprised how good this works off my boat for skipping and twitching those baits above. the reel works great but it’s getting a little geary. I suppose after 2yrs I should open it up clean and lube it?.. Bsampson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efrain Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Lews bb1 pro is a great 200 size reel with some amazing casting distance. Light, durable, dependable and all black. Bsampson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayes Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’ve used the curado k 200 sweet reel for the price with some good casting distance. Have 2 Antares 18’s love both reel but i sometimes feel they were more hype than anything. Another thing about the Antares my local guys won’t touch the for service or maintenance so I had to learn to do it my self which first time trying I thought I’d really just through away money but I kept at it and there’s nothing to doing it myself now. maine y yak and Bsampson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
