iay Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Can I see a side by side comparison between the 301 and 401? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideaction Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Does the level wind disengage or engage on cast for the 401. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igl00jx Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The line guide does not move on the cast. Unsure of the terms between the two (engage/disengage) Pics will be posted tonight or when I get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasenbass Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Does the level wind disengage or engage on cast for the 401. Thanks I've read somewhere that the level wind does disengage for longer casts. I'll let you know for sure when my 400 shows up by the end of this week! Can't wait!

I'll let you know for sure when my 400 shows up by the end of this week! Can't wait! Thats a shame. better performance when it stays engaged with heavy line and big baits.

chasenbass Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thats a shame. better performance when it stays engaged with heavy line and big baits. One of my biggest complaints about the 400d I agree with that, but it has been said that the casting distance will be further. We will have to wait and see.

chasenbass Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 My 400 came last night. Thing is sweet! It's smaller for sure than the OG version of the conquest. Smooth as butter too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iay Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the pics igl00jx. I have been using 200 for around 9 months now for glides from Deps 175 to I-Slide 262t and its been great, but the lack of line capacity really annoying when I have to make longer casts with Hudds. I am still pondering whether I want a 300 or 400. Edited May 1, 2015 by iay igl00jx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iay Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I wish I had the resources to do so , but I can only put so much towards swimbait gear. A Steez rod has been calling my name for a while now xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.xyooj Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 beautiful reels, will definitely pick one up in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haunted Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Debating which one to get as well. I'll most likely get both of them down the road, but only one for now. @igl00jx you're the only person I can find online that has both- What are your thoughts comparing the 2 reels? Which one would you prefer/recommend if you could only have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one would you prefer/recommend if you could only have one? haunted, haven't had a chance to fish either one yet. The reels palm similarly, albeit the 401 is slightly wider. If I had to do it again, I'd opt for two 401s as the wider frame and spool seems to lessen any chances of the line getting coily and for the addtionaly line capacity.

reelfish Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 How much smaller is the new 400 conquest to the older 400 TE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
