GReb Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Was hoping it would be a new Chronarch MGL weighing 5.5 ounces to compete with the new higher end Doyo products. Quote

Hulkster Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I wonder how the Conquest will sell considering is $600 US price. Cost of living is rising everywhere right now. Quote

Cost of living is rising everywhere right now. Pretty sure it won't be an issue. The swimbaits that these reels are designed for, probably start at $75 a piece and the demand for those baits is always high. If you can afford the baits, you afford the reel. Personally, I would probably only use a 200 size in it but I wouldn't pay $600. I would go for a Tranx first or the JDM version. Quote
Hulkster Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 thats true. I have a tranx 400A and its amazing. still, the shiny gold metal of the conquest is really appealing lol Quote

lunkerboss923 Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 I bet they'll introduce the SLX DC XT. I'm phasing out my DCs for Daiwa SVs. I just like the braking system better. They feel smoother. Quote

The other two look cool, but I have no need for them. Quote

This is what they're saying It's a tall task to redesign an industry benchmark for versatility and performance, so the Shimano team went to work developing the all-new SLX A series of low-profile reels. Designed for tournament anglers and weekend warriors alike, the all-new SLX A series now features Shimano's premium SilentTune technology to improve rotation and enhance overall reeling performance. Available in three gear ratios, Shimano built the SLX A with a HAGANE Body for increased durability and strength, so anglers can set the hook and land the fish of a lifetime. Unsurpassed quality and performance at an unbeatable price, the all-new SLX A series of reels is a must-have for anglers looking to upgrade their quiver. SLX A | LOW PROFILE | BAITCAST | REELS | PRODUCT | SHIMANO 1 Quote
FrnkNsteen Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Thanks,.. I only have one of the current SLX, but I have to say I like it. Quote
