Looking for opinions on these two reels, how do they compare side by side. It will be paired with an Okuma MH Swimbait rod and will be used to throw, Mattlures Bluegill and Baby Bass, Monster Jacks, MS Slammer, 3:16 Baby Bass and other similar sized baits.

Your opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Where's the "Others" section? I use a CTE300 for almost all my swim baits unless they're really small. Then I use a Calcutta 250 or a Curado for 15 pound line.

Hi Magmaster;

I only listed those two reels because those are the ones that fit my budget, if I didn't have a son on the way I would probably be getting a Conquest 300 or one of those new Daiwa Luna's that just came out which i hear are pretty good.
