Re: Conquest 904 vs. 905

The 904C is way better unless you need a broomstick. 904 is perfect 1/2-3/4 ounce jig rod.

Re: Megabass rods

I have experienced the same results. My partner always called them Megabreaks. I loved the Destroyers but lost all confidence in them. I switched back to Loomis and haven’t had anymore issues. I have added four of the Orochi XX Rods and no trouble with those yet but they don’t get used a whole lot.

Re: thinking of a new bottom contact rod

It will be very hard to beat that Conquest 904. I had the Valdivia. It isn’t nearly the stick the 904 is. The FMJ is the jewel in the Destroyer lineup but it’s not quite enough for the weights you want. I also prefer the 904 to the NRX894.

Re: G Loomis Build Quality

I’ve had a bunch of NRX Rods with no issues. Have all Conquests now and no issues on them either.

904C is much better for half ounce jigs. 905 way too much for half ounce.

Re: Conquest 905C Question

I use my 905 for A-rigs. It’s a stout rod. Might work for big 3/4 ounce and higher jigs. Too much rod for 1/2 ounce jigs. Not a bad punching rod.

Re: Conquest 905

I have one and like it. Use it for the same thing on Chickamauga.

Re: daiwa sv103

I have five of them bought from the Tackle Trap. I use them for traps, worms, and jigs. I think they can do it all. By far the best reels I've ever owned. I hope to buy three more soon. I can throw a trap into a stiff wind with no backlash even if the lure helicopters.

Re: Daiwa SV103

I feel like they may hold more line than what is advertised. A 200 yard spool of 16 pound FC sniper did not fully fill up two reels for me.

Re: Daiwa SV103

I'm not sure what kind of bearings it has but I have two SV103's that I fished all weekend with and I love them. They are silky smooth and they cast like a dream - even into the wind. I am in the process of switching from Curado I series reels to these and they seem to be a major improvement. They a...

Re: Daiwa SV103

I got two of these today and they are very nice reels. The backlash control on Daiwa reels is in a league of its own right now.
