Shimano's latest Conquest series are the new king of the mountain, long live the king. I love the new CQ 101 so much I immediately ordered a second one. If you haven’t handled these reels yet you will be pleasantly surprised with their performance and rugged good looks nothing Daiwa makes comes close.
Really? Ive fished the pre-2014 iteration of CQ at the 101/201 and 401 offerings and they were far less impressive than the monoblocks/Lins. Can we assume that your avatar picture will change soon to be all Shimano gold?
You know what? You are riight - you should go all in for CQ's -AND I will happily help you re-locate those sub-par nothing near as close Lin's and monoblocks to an appropriate retirement facility (aka my man cave)
