Team Daiwa Pluton 200H or Shimano Calcutta Conquest 400?
Right now I have a Shimano Calcutta 400B reel and G. Loomis Big Bait GL2-966 8' Mag-Hvy rod rated for 3-10oz lures and 25-45lb mono that I use for tossing big baits for bass. I use 30lb Maxima monofilament on it.My girlfriend thinks I should upgrade to something "better" for whatever reason so she wants to buy me another Loomis Big Bait GL2-966 and a new reel for it. She's thinking a TDPLUT200H or Team Daiwa Conquest 400. They're both gorgeous reels, I just don't know which one I want. Please help. Pros and cons of both if you can.Thanks.The Pluton and Loomis rod would more than likely be coming from http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/ and the Shimano from ebay.My g/f has bought a lot of stuff from there for me.Perhaps I should convince my g/f to buy all 3 of them? The 5.1:1 Pluton, the 5.8:1 and 6.2:1 Conquest?I've thought about to low pro reels like the Revo Toro. Then I thought about it again. I'll stick to heavier duty round baitcasters. In my eyes, I don't see why the Revo has the name 'Ambassadeur' on it... it's not an Ambassadeur. I guess if it means 'Revolution'.I'm not a fan of braid either. When I first started using swimbaits, I was using 50lb, 65lb, and 80lb braid. It was nothing but trouble and problems. I've never thought about fluoro either because I mainly use floating baits and fluorocarbon sinks.

Look for a rod that’s spec’d like the Loomis MBR782C. That’s actually a great rod, but I’m guessing you’re not wanting to spend 250 (IMX version) for one. The GLX is even pricier at 315. Anyway, you should be looking at something that’s rated 17lb or UNDER on the top end. The e21′s are nice, and they’ve addressed the problems they had with guides and paint etc. Those issues were from about 1 1/2 – 2 years ago. The Shimano’s are pretty good for the money, and the Crucial is actually a good rod. I’d go with the CRCX70M or the CRCX68M or the CRC610M. I would actually stick to the Extra Fast offerings in the Shimanos. I don’t particularly like the way they were labeling the “fast” and “extra fast” rods. They seemed to be a little under-rated. I think mainly because they’re comparing the rods to the other rods under the same label, as opposed to all other Shimano offerings as a whole. If NOTHING else, at least compare them before buying. There’s nothing like getting something and going “What the h*ll?! That’s not right!”

And you want to choose the right one, correct?Go with the one that feels the most comfortable while you’re cupping it.

You can look into the Stellar lite series by Star Rods PG816ISS@ http://www.seastriker.com/starrods/stellarlite.pdf )..You may also visit Lamiglas Rod selection advice Forum@ http://www.lamiglas.com/forum/2 and http://www.lamiglas.com/forum/1Star Rods are excellent Fishing Rods at a good price.But I check with Lamiglas too and see if they have something in your budget with quality components(Reelseat, Guides, etc.) After you have picked the Rod you like, you can check for prices online or visit such as Cabelas http://www.cabelas.com , Dick’s sporting goods http://www.dickssportinggoods.com , L.L.bean http://www.llbean.com , Bass Pro shops http://www.basspro.com Tight lines

I’d say it’ll be a decent setup for basic needs. It’s not the nicest reel by any means, but there’s many lesser quality reels out there. The only thing I’d advise against is the medium action rod. If you have a baitcaster, you will likely be using heavier baits and lures. A medium action isn’t quite enough for a lot of spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jigs, etc. But just putting on the rod for now will be fine to get a feel for it. Consider buying a medium heavy action rod in a 6’6 or 7’0 in the future for the reel.

hey man, i have a variety of fishing gear. I fish the surf of the atlantic and i fish fresh as well. i have6- saltwater set ups. 4 are 7 foot rods and 2 are 9 foot. sitting on those rods are spinner reels, mostly shakespear saltwater reels and 2 diawa reels. (i dont spend a pile of money on equipment–no need to actually if the equipment is taken care of) all are spooled with braided spiderwire. 40-50 and 60 lb line4- freshwater set ups. 3 are shakespear mantis series spinners that i use for light fishing such as brim perch and so forth. 1- shakespear 6’6″ ugly stick and sitting on that is a phlugher presidential series spinner reel. the shakespears are spooled with Berkleys Big Game monofiliment line 10 lb test and the phlugher is spooled with stren 14 lb flourocarbon. I also have 2 deapsea rods that i use when i go after the BIG OL KITTY KITTY fish. i mostly use my saltwater rod and reels but all of them are medium heavy action rods. when i know that there are huge cats in the spots that i swap the reels from the medium heavy action to the heavy action. i try to have an array of rods and reels for each application that i go. i dont spend a pile of money on my reels and rods because i dont have to. if a person knows how to work the drag and know how to fight a fish with the rod correctly big ol expensive equipment isnt needed. but i dont skimp on the line though. my opinion is that the line is the most important thing there. if the line isnt worth a flip neither is the reel. for my tackle boxes i actually have 4. i use 4 because i dont like carrying all my gear with me if it will not be needed. the one that i use for bass fishing is a Bill Dance series box. nothing fancy i dont carry alot of gear i stick to the basics. a few plugs, a few cranks, a few jigs, an array of worms. and the basics hooks bullet weight, splitshot weights, and other what nots. i have 2 small boxes by bait box that i use 1 for saltwater surf fishing, i keep my bottom fishing rigs, pliers, pryamid weights, sibinki rigs and other saltwater supplies and for the other bait box i keep my catfish fishing gear. 2 ounce bullet weights, leader material and a few home made leaders and trebble hooks, and other what catfish gear that might be floatin around. and i have a small clear box, (you know the lil cheap ones that most people use as inserts in their fishing Bags. i keep one of those filled for when i go fishing for panfish. i keep jigs, smaller hooks, split shot weight, a few small crank baits, spinners, and bobbers. well that i believe has summed up most of my fishing gear that i use. good luck good fishin be safe and remember to share the experience

This IS a tough Q. (I had to do some research even! lol)Both those reels are primo. But, in my opinion, the Shimano Conquest is a bit nicer. Why?The Pluton has a 5:1:1 ratio, (which is nice). The Conquest comes in a 5:8:1 AND 6:2:1 ratio. With 2 different ratio’s to choose from, you at least have more options. (Although, if you plan on chunking Swim Baits, the lower ratio the Pluton has won’t wear your wrist out prematurely.) Also, the Pluton is pretty, but the Conquest is outright gorgeous! On a scale of 1-10 the Pluton gets a 10 for beauty; the Conquest a 12! The Conquest is one of the most “machined” reels you can buy…..The only “con” against the Conquest? It may have pitiful drag pressure . Check here for a review of the Conquest 50- http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimanoconquest.htmlObviously, the 400 will probably have a stronger drag pressure than 2.5LB’s, but that would be my main concern if I were you.Have you ever thought about going to a tough Low Profile with 40-60LB Braid, (with a leader of 30LB Fluro)? You could almost get TWO Revo Toro’s for the price of 1 Conquest. With the Toro you know your getting (at least) 20LB’s of drag pressure…….Check out the reviews on the Toro here- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10216849_175003000_175000000_175003000_175-3-0 Overall, between the Pluton and the Conquest, I’d choose the Conquest. But between the Toro and the the Conquest- I’d spend a few more bucks and get 2 Toro’s! Two reels are always better than one….(lol). Hope this helps ya?

Or if you’re tossing lighter Worms and 1/4oz to 3/8oz stuff mostly, a 7′ M. The Tourney Special is probably the best value, but the Bionic Blade would be even better.

Well….the “Team Daiwa is the higher end line doesn’t hold up.” All you have to do is look at Daiwa’s HIGHEST reels, and realize that they DO NOT have the Team Daiwa label. The Steez and Certate spinning reels are a prime example. Neither, although retailing for well over $300, has Team Daiwa in the name…anywhere.It’s just a marketing tool. It seems like it’s the “higher” end products, but truely, it’s not. It seems they tend not to put it on rods/reels that are too far down the product list; however, all you have to do to dent that theory is go into a local Sports Authority and look at the cheap-o Team Daiwa rod/reel combo for $34.99. There is the Daiwa sponsored anglers. And in a sense, they are “Team Daiwa,” but that has nothing to do with the rod/reel line up. So, to answer your question, it’s just words they use to make things SOUND cooler. Nothing more.
