You might want to consider line capacity as well. I had both new conquest 101HG and 201. To be honest, thanks for the great design, I don't feel 201 much bigger than 101. New 201 does feel like my old 101 size in hands. Even new 300/301 is not that big, I do notice some musky guys are using new conq...

So ENGETSU BB 101PG is not micro brass gears as it's based on casitas, right? How is Grappler BB 201HG? Is it also casitas based or scorpion's one? Has anyone successfully switched casitas's gear with scorpion's micro gear? Just checked, it's a very interesting reel! ci4 frame + 4+1 bearing + micro ...

ci4+ castias mgl would be nice!

I believe Met MGL could also add one bearing in worm gear to replace existing bushing. I will hope Chronarch MGL could upgrade the same. But how many TTs would like to pay $4xx for MGL with 1 year NA warranty considering less than $300 from JDM... Dang I'm jealous, it looks sweet. Are you in the U.S...

Is 16 Steez SV TW worth another $100 comparing with Steez SV?
