TackleTour

I can't wait to see pics and thoughts of all these reels...

There are some videos on youtube already. You could try to search Conquest BFS. Then the Japanese related videos will be automatically suggested by Youtube as far as you don't mind what they said.

For me, I am only watching the reel.

LOL did you feel special?! Probably poor translation for "One of the first customers to get conquest BFS" Since you pre-ordered

Have you received it yet?

Im the first for the right hand Conquest BFS. The lefties are in now.

I just got home after being gone most of the day and had a slip in the mailbox saying they tried to deliver my Conquest. Not bad considering on Wednesday they emailed me and said it would ship on Thursday. Three days from Japan. The down side is I will have to wait until Monday to go pick it up. You know what will be on my mine until then.

Sorry to hear that... it would be nice you could get it Friday and play it during weekend...

Anyway, Monday is not too far away.

Mine is still in the air and hopefully it will arrive and be released by custom up coming Monday.

I ordered mine last Friday, should be here by the end of the week. Cant decide on a rod though. I have been searching and searching for my first true bfs rod.

Well guys I have the reel and I have pictures, but I can not figure out how to post them on here. Sorry, I'm sure one of the other guys who purchased one will post some pictures.

What I can tell you is it is the same size as my regular CQ101. While the reel in total may be larger than my CQ51 and my old Calcutta 51. The palming side is the same size and possibly even smaller, I did not measure, just eyeballed it.

Also, I had made a rod on a Batson Immortal 6'2'' light Walleye blank and the colors match almost perfectly.

Right now I am just waiting for time to try it out.
