Calcutta Conquest or Calcutta Conquest TE?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

ConQuest has a clicker on the drag and cast control, forged drag star wheel and handle, and a 10 on the cool factor.
4 bearing handle, can you say smooth, a ConQuest will last U a lifetime.

What he said. I have a 100 model and was surprised how powerful the reel feels on retrieve. Nothing seems to bog it down.

"Calcutta Conquest or Calcutta Conquest TE?"

If I'm reading your question properly you are talking about the same reel. All Conquests have the "TE" (Total Efficiency) gearing.

I have a Conquest 50 and it's simply a gem.
