Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
Most those have pretty robust gears and good support bearings so unless you like jamming the gears to stop a cast then pretty much anything reasonable.
Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I suggest :
BFS under 3/8 oz
100 1/4 to 2oz
200 3/8 to 4oz
300 1 to 7 oz
I'm right with this weight range ?

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
Suggestion is sound.
Still, 300 can also do 1/2 oz lures (I use the 301s for Salmon with 1/2 oz spoons and spinners).
And all can do a bit heavier.

Thank you
So I updated the data to :
BFS under 3/8 oz
100 1/4 to 2 1/2oz
200 3/8 to 5oz
300 1/2 to 8 oz

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
The BFS can also do 1/2 oz or more - maybe not what it was meant for, but still.
Jief, how is this important to you?

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I hesitate for the size of a conquest reel for a St-croix legend X 7'4"HF ...
It's my multi purpose rod for pike and bass...

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I have two of those rods.. and most of those reels
why the hesitation ?

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I agree the limitation is line size or just light braid
and with that comes capacity ...
the rod he's using in my little opinion is a great balanced rod.. fishes great with the D7 or OG zillion even an antares 21

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I hesitate to go with a 100 or 200 Calcutta conquest.
I use my legend 74hf with 1/4 to 2 1/2 oz
100 nice for casting light lure. Maybe not so much for 2 1/2 oz lure
200 maybe to much for lighter lure but nice to have more line capacity and for heavier lure...

Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
what size reel is best for you with this rod?
Re: Calcutta conquest size and lure weight range
I just had the rod out.
The conquest bfs is a 50 size reel so I don’t know why you’d want to use it on that rod but I would not.
The 100 size 6.8:1 gear ratio reels felt amazing. I was thinking to myself why didn’t I think of this. Truth is I probably did but forgot
If I used them it would be a monster all around rod. Because imho the rod is good at all levels of the water column and that gear ratio just does it all.

This is it
It's the 2021 version of the 101hg conquest with Mgl3 spool.
