I know the differences in constructions, but which has the better internals? I watched and read some reviews and while everyone raved about the new FK, some things left me concerned like the drag washer wearing way too quickly and the spool shaft not having a bearing.
Every year, I always tell myself I'm gonna try this and I'm gonna try that, only to go back to what I've always used because its always worked. That said, I'm gonna try to drop shot some more and I'd like to try more swimbaits, again.
I just got into Shimano reels this season after 25 yrs of Quantum. I currently own the following:
4-2013 Metaniums
1-2014 Stella
I'm dying to get the new Calcutta Conquest 100HG. Such a beauty. Maybe another Stella too.
I want a new Shimano Calcutta Conquest 100HG really badly. Such a beautiful reel. Throw in a couple more Megabass Orochi XX rods and maybe another Stella and I'll be happy.
Of course you can use it for bass fishing. Thats not the point. He is asking about balance. A 1000 series reel that is already light weight will not balance well on that rod.
Save your money and do it yourself. Its not difficult at all. I used to be intimidated myself about taking it apart, cleaning, lubing, and reassembling. Its easy. Take pics of each step and place the parts in order.
