I'm really interested in purchasing one of these two reels, but I'm not really familiar and have never held one. I've only heard great things from them. I was wondering if anyone out there in the fishing world has both and has a preference and why. I'd be mainly using this new reel as a heavy swimbait setup. 2oz - 10oz lures. Thanks for the help guys and gals.

I don't think either one would have the line capacity for the baits you're going to try and throw.

I would suggest a Conquest 300......

Those two reels are basically the same reel. You might be limited with line capacity with either one. Maico1 suggestion of a conquest 300 would serve you well. Although not a dc reel the 2014 300 series feels like a 200 series in hand.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. I just bought a Daiwa Shrapnel and it should arrive within the next couple of weeks. I'll update on how it performs.
