hzzhangc Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 The avail handle and wood knob would look sick on conquest. I would definitely do that if I didn't sold my conquests. 1 Quote
thehooligan Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 The avail handle and wood knob would look sick on conquest. I would definitely do that if I didn't sold my conquests. Yea, that's the handle setup I was thinking about... Quote
Cgrinder Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Is that the new Conquest on the left? Either way, seems the new 101 and old 51 are very close in frame size. Quote
thehooligan Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Is that the new Conquest on the left? Either way, seems the new 101 and old 51 are very close in frame size. Yea, non handle side is actually smaller then the 51. Handle side is bigger. Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Yea, non handle side is actually smaller then the 51. Handle side is bigger.now imagine how small the '14 conquest 51 will be if it actually comes out!! Quote
John G Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Not trying to take sales away from Hedgehog Studios but I am pretty unhappy with the color of the Champagne Gold Avail Handle and Star Drag. It matches perfect in the pics on their website but not in person. Quote
thehooligan Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I sorta agree, I have the avail spool and drag star, in certain lighting it looks ok. In other lighting it doesn't match at all... Quote
Diggy Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Been trying to test the rods against each other thoroughly but it's been way too hot. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 I sorta agree, I have the avail spool and drag star, in certain lighting it looks ok. In other lighting it doesn't match at all... That would probably make my OCD explode. 2 Quote
thehooligan Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Added the mighty scorpion to the lineup. Cleaned it, added hedgehogs, and threw a zpi handle on there. Will be putting the septon knobs on there tonight. Matches very nicely with the 6'10 cumulus. Put on some 8lb hybrid and really liking this line. I was casting this little 3/8oz megabass a mile... 6 Quote

thehooligan Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Put a Core 50 thumbar on there and are all set Yea, ill mostly add that and a core/avail dragstar. I need to find a reputable shimano parts place that have them in stock... Quote
hzzhangc Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Wow, I'll be afraid to throw a megabass on 8 lb line, especially for a lipless. Quote
thehooligan Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Wow, I'll be afraid to throw a megabass on 8 lb line, especially for a lipless. Nothing to worry about, took it to a safe spot to test the reel out... Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted August 24, 2014 Super User Posted August 24, 2014 I feel like Hooligan has a beautiful OCD that will keep him up at night if he has unsexy combos that don't match and stuff. All I want to know is why can't my gf suffer from this affliction?!?? 3 Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted August 24, 2014 Super User Posted August 24, 2014 Yozuri hybrid smoke It's good line! I throw my Jackal Tn series on 8 no problem!! Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 24, 2014 Super User Posted August 24, 2014 Nothing special but it'll do the trick. Okuma 7'11 H with Cardiff 301 and 9" slammer. Added carbontex drag washers to the 301 and owner st41's to the slammer. 2 Quote
Greeneye8181 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Chronarch 100D7 with Avail spool, upgrades galore. Casts like a dream. 4 Quote
Stumphunter Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Check Dick's Sporting Goods, they still have tons of clearance rods like the Veritas for 60 or less. Thanks for the info.... I ended up Pairing this reel with a 7'3" MH Halo Daylight rod... 2 Quote
