Re: Shimano Conquest dc
It’s not the matter of the reel holding up but it’s the line capacity for larger baits. The reel hold more than enough 20lbs for a larger baits like a Deps 250 but the issue you run into is your ipt is going to really suffer on a bomber of a cast that’a one of the reason people like 400 size reels is it allows for a more consistent ipt over the whole distance of retrieve.

Thanks. Inch per turn. But don’t understand. Can it damage the Reel casting for example a deps 250
Thanks

Re: Shimano Conquest dc
People put way to much thought into all this ipt stuff. I have the 201hg spooled with 20lb Abrazx and throw up to 7oz baits on it no problem! I would recommend you get a bigger handle though as they come with only an 84mm from the factory.
Re: Shimano Conquest dc
3.5oz bait? or lead sinker? I doubt you could cast a 3.5oz bigbait farther than 50m with its air resistance.
Line capacity would be enough
