What are you cranking with?

Hey Jorrick, it depends on the bait I’m throwing. Typically I’m throwing 11 lbs for most lighter 1/4-3/8, I’ll go up to 15 lbs for some DD baits.

Like you, I waited until a sale and stocked up and now have several spools. Also heard rumor earlier this year that Defier was no longer going to be available in the US.

I got a Stile handle...from a Stile

I got the Stile XG for Texas Rigs. 8.1 Aldebaran with an even smaller frame thanks to the Core Fit body...Its a dream, other than the brakes

Darn i was hoping you knew a place to buy them fairly reasonable. Everywhere i could find jdm stock parts they were crazy prices. I put a engetsu handle on a metainium and like the length so i figured you could find them priced like us models

I have 2 Conquest 200's and 3 Curado I's with the 5.5.1 gear ratio. Both paired with a 7’0 med-fast rods. I prefer graphite over glass. I also use 10-14lb mono over fluorocarbon, no one has ever proven to me that Fluoro gets more bites in anything less than super clear water.

I use a curado 200i PG in 5:1 with 17lb Suffix Advantage
I use a Bantam PG in 5:1 with 14lb Suffix Advantage
I use a calais 6:1 with 20lb Tatsu.

Bantam is the smoothest of the three.

An Antares should not have any flex in it under load but I have never used one.

I have a Calcutta conquest 100 and 200 that I use for my crank baiting. If I wanted a low pro reel, I would order a Bantam PG just from my experience with the two Bantams I currently have. Great reel with absolutely no flex.

I crank the bay with a shimano zodias 176MH-G paired with a conquest DC200
