Makeover of a pre-owned Conquest 200
Newly acquired a pre-owned Conquest 200. The reel comes with stock handle, bearing, drag and all the boring stuff.
Going to tune up this mediocre and transform it into a mean big fish conqueror!!
Some ingredients for the project:
First up. Line stripped and spool appeared to be in good form. Applied a thin coat of corrosion prevention oil and checked the axle for rough spots.
All brake blocks will be removed, but will keep the brake ring just in case the transformed fish tamer becomes too hot to handle.
Changed the SVS and cast control bearings to Full Ceramic bearings.
Carbontex drag.
Cleaned up and lubed sparingly. This beauty is all set to conquer!!!!
Will see how the other bearings fare after first sea trial and will change all to stainless steel bearings, if necessary.

Conquest 50 Full Ceramic Bearing upgrade
The previous upgrade of the cast control 7x3x3 bearing to full ceramic is resounding success, and this prompted me to order and replace the SVS and spool bearing to full ceramic as well.
My CQ50 is now perfect, kakakaka~~~
