i have the 101 conquest and i can only say wow after every cast. from the experience of the 101 i can imagine 51 size would be used for dropshotting with 6 lb line in my arsenal.

yep, thats all my wife. she is awesome!! can make a bad pic look really good.

caught this smallmouth on a 5 inch yamamoto senko mojo rigged in some slack water off the main river. there was a couple in that hole but i couldn't get them to bite off anything so i decided to go with my go-to bait. had 2 on consecutive casts and landed this one. used a custom 7'2" spinning rod an...

I typically don't have a problem spending alot of money on reels. i love high end gear and can justify paying 300 to 500 bucks. but if i am understanding you guys correctly the DC system runs about 250 more than normal but offers just a slight advantage. i dont see myself doing it.

i just got it in the mail today and got to mess around in the back yard a bit. with a 1/4 oz bullet and 10 lb line i can cast between 100 to 120 feet with just a flick of the wrist. i have it on my NRX 893. what i would like to know now is why i didnt buy a round reel in the past. this thing is swee...

what makes DC almost 300 more in retail?

is one easier to operate over the other?

like by how many yards? i am an open water fisherman and need all the distance possible. my daiwa alphas TypeR can launch senkos into space. i will propably use the conquest 101 for throwing texas rigged senkos, 1/2 to 3/4 oz tubes and 1/2 oz rattle traps.

does the DC system add casting distance?

your post screams daiwa alphas type-R for that style of fishing. holds tons of line and is very comfortable to use. sell between 275 and 350. you will love it.

what do you fellas throw with the conquest 101/100? i purchased a 101 from Teamdaiwarick because curiosity got the best of me. everyone talking about how great the round reels are so i had to try one. will be putting it on the an NRX893.

do i clean ZPI sic bearings the same way as standard bearings? this might be a really stupid question but have to ask, dont want to screw up 45 dollar bearings. thanks

That being said, if you want a reel that smokes, Ian can hook you up.

i just might send it to him. every time someone mentions super-tuning his name pops up.

i did not clean them. took them out of package and greased with hot sauce. maybe i should send you the reel.

i just installed a set of 6.8 to 1 gears into my alphas R and am not impressed with smoothness. i used quantum hot sauce. just wondering if thats normal. maybe I am just used to that old gearing which is super smooth.
