Japanese Tackle Cont.

Baitcasters can also be used for smallmouth, even while wading streams. For big crank baits, topwater, heavy jigs or spinnerbaits the crankin power of a baitcaster works better. With light lines and very small baits a spinning reels work better. There are some of us that do like a change of pace and light action baitcasters can be a real blast. The Japanese got this one covered too, thier baitcasters are like thier spinning reels, built with the best quality metals and the most ball bearings you can stick in a reel. DONT DROOL ON YOUR SCREEN!

Shimano Conquest 50 series

For that light tackle angler this reel is the best there is, if you've handled the American CT50 and think its the smoothest? How about the new CTE ?If so you aint felt nothing yet! This series has all the coolest stuff, drilled out spool and side plates, Japanese Shimano "SUPER SHIP" gears..and are you ready for this...12 ball bearings(11 w/ 1 roller bearing). How many does the American versions have...3 ball bearings? Specs. Ratio/6.2:1 Weight/7.3 oz. Capacity 120yrds of 6lb line.

Conquest 50

AWSOME looking reel!

Shimano Conquest 200

For those bigger baits and lines of 10lb test or more, this reel will do the job like no other equal. The same great features as the little 50 series above but has 11 ball bearings(10 w/ 1 roller bearing)The new American CTE series holds nothing on this series, Shimano says this is the #1 Calcutta series Shimano produces in the world.
