Did you one better. Here’s 200-300-400. Hope it helps. Josh626, bassfiend72 and PKNNH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchris Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 @Bucketmouth559 my issue with getting the 300 was I couldn't find any deals on em, even eBay and some of the Japanese sites the 400 was always a better deal, seems like they either go big reel or tiny reel. So the 400 was a no brainer, i was shocked at how much smaller it was the regular calcutta, i need two more for next season and then my line up is complete.

22RangerZ520R Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Get the 400 size. Like has been mentioned, they palm great and don't feel lile a 400 size reel. I've got 6 of the Conquest 400A's, I love em'. Josh626, Bass_blaster, Prodigy_Lee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there is not too much difference in diameter from the 200 to 400, just width. Nice comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim137a Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Don’t mean to hijack the thread but wanted to ask @chefchris how he liked the Ryoga compared to the Conquest. I’m looking for a higher end reel for my Loomis 965 rod - mainly throwing 2 to 4 ounce treble bait hooks on it. The ryoga caught my eye but this thread has me thinking Conquest.

There are both sick reels. I have the ryoga 1520 on my 786 custom which I use as an all around stick, soft baits and treble baits up to 4.5oz. it’s smooth, holds plenty of line, looks and feels solid, but I’m not getting the casting distance out of it like the conquest or the z2020. That’s probably more to do with me adjusting the controls and spool tension. I’ll be adding another one probably next season to round out the set ups. Again I scored mine on eBay brand new from japan for $414. I recently scored a SLP version 1016, that has the deep spool and all kinds of upgrades that’s silly nice. Going on a custom 805 this spring. Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback - I’ll be searching eBay for deals on the conquest. ‘’Sounds like I can’t go wrong with either reel but if I could score a conquest for $400 I’d be a happy camper.

You can do that for sure. Probably in the black market here even. A 400 just sold for $375 so deals can be had on them. Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketmouth559 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks to all my SU bro’s I purchase a 400 this afternoon can’t wait to get it Jim137a, Chuch10, Alex Burton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketmouth559 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 update; so i got the 400 and it just didn't look right on my rod seem and felt to big (wide) thanks to tackle warehouse they allow me to exchange it for the 300 and that's the perfect fit and feel for my rod size. looks great can't wait to catch a pig on it. just an f.y.i if your rod is only a heavy go with 300 will fit better .. extra heavy or xx heavy should get the 400 Bass_blaster and Toro blanco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
