Gotcha. I thought perhaps you were referring to a new reel, besides what jrk had posted.

Yea, I want a new 201HG so badly for my X4 Destruction.

Very sweet reel have a 20 100HG mounted on a PG Extreme Crank 170M G . Got a complete teardown to see the differences from my other round DC reels.Has been spooled up with Defier 15lb. and hits the marks in every way.ImageImageImage

My eyes must be crossed from ICAST coverage... i didn't see the "DC" in jrk's comment.. i thought he was referring to the non-dc reels :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reel looks nice enough. What’s with this bargain basement knobs on both Shimano and Daiwa, lately. I almost moved from Daiwa/Abu just for the septon!

Both are the 2020 Calcutta Conquest DC, 200 and 100, both in HG. I absolutely love these things. Only setup I had the other day was all wrong for my smallmouth hunt...8'6" Heavy Legend X with the 100 DC. Threw 4 inch weightless senkos and was absolutely BOMBING them.
Wish like h*** these would be offered in the US.
