Super User Tywithay Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 Not gonna lie, it moved a little. This reel is basically perfection, all it needed was faster gears. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 WOW - about 30 IPT. Good grief - I've got to buy ANOTHER reel...................... Thanks for posting... 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 WOW - about 30 IPT. Good grief - I've got to buy ANOTHER reel...................... Thanks for posting... Where did you read the IPT? If it is indeed 30 IPT, I will indeed have a 100 on order! LOL Jeff Quote

The specs on that page show 77cm for the 100HG which is about 30.3". YEAH BABY ! I was planning on getting a 50-size Conquest14 had they released one this year. I note that Jun at JapanTackle has removed any reference to a 50-size on his web site so perhaps he might be hearing that it might not happen. SO, my reserved spot for a 50 will be transferred to the 100HG... 1 Quote

Jeff Yeah - I had cued up the Met DC as well. However, I'm waiting to find out if the Met DC makes the usual "DC whine" - if the reel is silent...I might not be as interested... 2 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 I don't believe there's any plans for a 50 size. I don't even believe it'd be feasible, as the sideplate would be too small to house a spool. Quote

thehooligan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Nice, i was holding out for a new 51 but looks like it might be a new 101hg... Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 50 or 100 size, they can call it whatever they want, it's a sweet reel and one I will have! Quote

Super User lmbfisherman Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 Someday I'll buy one of these... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 I need some reference here. How does the CTE200GT compare to the Conquest? Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 RW - Your CTE-200GT is the functional equivalent of a Conquest 200 (last generation - aka CQ00). The differences are: CQ has a forged handle / TE-GT has a stamped handle CQ has a forged drag star / TE-GT has a stamped star CQ has clicking spool tension knob and drag / TE-GT has no clicks CQ has a ported palm-side sideplate / TE-GT is plain/unported I have both CTE-GTs and CQ00s and they perform and feel the same to me. These photos show the external differences (using 100-size reels): Now - the Conquest being discussed in this thread is the Conquest 14. CQ14 has all the latest gadgets/features: SVS Infinity Braking, X-Ship, Micro-Module Gears, etc. The CQ 14 has a smaller sideplate and palms noticeably smaller than the equivalent size CQ00, it MIGHT (or might not) cast a bit farther due to the braking system, and will probably feel smoother to most folks due to the micro-module gears and X-ship. All in all, just a nicer reel than the earlier generation. Is CQ14 enough better than a CQ00 (or a CTE-GT) to warrant buying a new reel? That's up to each person to decide.. 4 Quote
IAY Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I need some reference here. How does the CTE200GT compare to the Conquest? The new Conquest also has the S3D spool system, to further reduce the vibration of the spool, making it ridiculously smooth. You will not be disappointed buying the new Conquest. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 What techniques do you guys use your 100's for? I assume it would be comparable to a 200 size low pro but I'm not really sure. I want to buy either a CQ or CT D but I don't know if I want a 100 or 200. Quote

I want to buy either a CQ or CT D but I don't know if I want a 100 or 200. I am going to buy the 6.8 gear ratio 101 and pretty much use it for everything. Perfect IPT for my general fishing. 1 Quote

Cool thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking. I am leaning toward a 100 as it won't be used for anything heavy, I just don't have anything to really compare it to. Quote

I am leaning toward a 100 as it won't be used for anything heavy, I just don't have anything to really compare it to.I used my earlier gen CTE-GTs and CQ00s for nearly everything. I can even toss a lipless crank with them but at 23ipt you sometimes have to crank like crazy. I now have several round reels with 26 - 28ipt so they have taken over the lipless mission and the CTEs and CQs are used now mostly for cranking and bottom contact. Now that CQ14 will have a 30ipt option, all sorts of applications are possible...On 100 vs. 200, the 100 has adequate line capacity for most applications. I only go to a 200 with 17lb line. The CQ14 100 size also palms nicely... 1 Quote

Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 A little off topic here, but has anyone had experience with the 14 Conquest at the 1/4oz threshold? I am wondering how it will handle the Pop-X. Quote

I am wondering how it will handle the Pop-X. I haven't used my CQ14-100 for anything under about 3/8 oz. Under 3/8, I use a 50 size Quote
