St. Croix Legend Xtreme vs G. Loomis Conquest Casting Rods

Featured Replies

Trying to decide on Legend Xtreme 2020 vs G. Loomis Conguest.  

 

Which is more sensitive for bottom contact?

Which is more powerful.  Lets say we compare the MH model from each company, which is more powerful?

Which is more universal in various applications?

Aside from price and warranty, which you would pick and why?

I have both and reach for the Loomis more often.  The LX is great and I am sure you will get different opinions. To me the balance and sensitivity for bottom Co tact just works better for me

Not comparing these Legend Xtr vs Conquest. Other comparisons, yes.   

 

Regarding the Antares DC, I am interested in this reel but I have read its bulky.  My only experience with reels is the Steez CT SV and the Zillion SV, I love them, cannot backlash them so that's what I use. BI prefer the steez because its small!  But, I love the DC whine and so I am looking into them, but noone has them in person around here so I am trying to gauge the size as I prefer smaller profile reels like the steez and Zillion.  I just got an antares DC MD XG, its nice but its BIG! so I will use if as a swimbait reel.  

 

I have asked others how the sizes of the various DC reels stack up in size but cannot get an answer.  Based on my research there are .  Do you have any thoughts as having an Antares DC

Curado DC

Scorprion DC

Metanium DC

Antares DC.

SLX isnt a great reel from what I have heard.  Metanium DC vs Antares DC - how do they compare?

 

I am looking for the best and smallest DC reel I can tget.

How would you compare the power readings of the conquest versus the legend extreme? 

Let’s say the medium heavy rods you’re talking about is the Saint Croix heavier than the conquest or the same? Or vice versa
