Calcutta Conquest 2021 vs Calcutta Conquest BFS
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2021 1:07 am
Hi All,
I have seen on Japantackle that a new Calcutta Conquest is going to hit the market starting end of March 2021.
I really love this gold color and am trying to convince myself that I don't need one , especially for the way I intend to use it for which is Trout fishing in river/stream with a casting rod that will throw lures around 5-10 gr.
Can someone help me out with a comparison between a Calcutta Conquest 100 size (with a Microcast spool i.e. Avail) against a Calcutta Conquest BFS? As far as I understand the CC BFS has the 100 size body so it's basically a normal CC with a lighter spool and the FTS brake system from Aldebaran BFS, is this more or less correct?
What will be the difference between a proper CC BFS and a standard CC with updated spool (there must be some other differences which you can't overcome with a lighter Spool, otherwise they wouldn't have released a BFS version, right?)
I have contacted Jun from Japantackle and he suggested that using an Avail spool will allow me to handle lures from 3-4 gr. upwards, I've never owned a round reel, I only have three low profile reels (Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG, Daiwa Alphas Air Stream Custom and Daiwa Steez 1016 SV TW) and therefore I'd like to try out a round.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much
Christophe
