Been away from the forum for awhile, but it is time for me to finally buy another new reel. I need a new high end reel to specifically handle weightless Zoom flukes on the flats for sea trout, small reds, flounder, mackerel etc. I will either spool with 12# mono or 20# braid. I am almost finished building the new rod, so it is time to make a purchase.
I have a 100 Conquest (2014) that I must admit seems perfect for this duty since I am already using it for flukes on another rod. However, I am finding it hard to buy another 100 without at least exploring some other options that might entertain me. I was completely excited about the new 200 DC until I found out it is currently only being offered in the 4.8 gear ratio.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may have! - Craig

Lots of used Calcutta Dc's on ebay that are in great shape.

Anybody out there have any opinions on the 17 Exsence DC XG? Especially when it comes to throwing flukes? It's currently my front runner...
