Well fellas I dropped my wife off at the airport today she's gone for a week, and as I pulled out I couldn't help myself but stop by Bass Pro on the way home :wink
She won't have a clue and I really needed 2 more reels and 1 more rod to round out my hardware when there is 4 of us on the boat. I was gonna get another conventional but I figured with the kids and others coming fishing spinning gear would be the best.
I decided to try the conflict even though I am a big fan of the battle. I am not a fan of the spin fisher V however so I was a little hesitant to pay the extra 30 for the conflict but it just looks ****. On top of that the foam handle looks like it will be good for the grouper.
Was able to get about 275 yards of 40# power pro on each one.
Figured I would share with you guys since I didn't have anyone else to share my excitement with :grin
Plus they had the sabikis I like on sale for 1.49 so I snagged about 30 of those :spin
I feel so naughty!!!! :Rockon

Yea it seems like they are the exact same reel, the only difference I can find is the anti-reverse bearing. 0.8 oz in weight diff and the handle.
Hopefully the new bearings will hold up
Sealed bearings vs shielded
techno balanced rotor
also looks like they saved the weight on the side plate and rotor, seems the battle is metal and I would assume the conflict is graphite there.
Not that these will make a difference, just pointing them out. Only time will tell which one holds up better.
