Nice, I am still very excited to see how people review this reel. I still use finesse more than general purpose, so even though I just bought an Aldebaran, I am sure I could find a place for a Conquest BFS too. I really just want to know how it compares to the Aldebaran, if smoother or equal. I assume casting will be the same, but I have doubts it is as smooth as the regular Conquest 100, which has the highest tier brass micro gears and includes Infinity Drive...

I'm excited for it. A fast gear ratio small round reel with a capable spool will be amazing. My 22 Aldebaran BFS is pretty smooth so, I can only imagine the Conquest will be smoother.

Not a peep from Japan Tackle yet on payment/shipment. This and there is a right hand sitting in my favorite shop for $350+shipping, in which orders typically arrive in 3-4 days.

This one righty and I when ahead and bought it. Not sure I will like the lefty I am getting from Japan Tackle, painful that I spent $80 more than this store is carrying it for. It is 7 Palms, and I am not 100% sure I will get it, they update thier inventory after they open and process the order, someone might have ordered it before me. It's also possible that they have more than one.

All quiet on the western front. Hoping for a surprise in my mailbox one of these daze.

Just got a notice from, Plat.com, my RH Conquest is shipping, should receive it next week

[Smalleyez]

Way to go! Hope things are starting to move.

I looked back at the notice I received the other day and realized it was just an advertisement and anything ordered from Plat will process May 8 (or after).

I hope whoever reviews the Conquest BFS first has the regular 100/200 2021 Conquest too. I just wonder how much different they will be. The aluminum gears from my Aldebaran are alright. Felt a bit off the first weeks of use, but seem to be breaking in well. The new Conquest shares those gears, and loses Infinity Drive, I just wonder how much difference this will actually make...
