Amigo, es impresionante el audio en español, siempre veo tus videos con subtítulos pero esto es de mucha ayuda ✌🏻

If anyone is curious, I bought the kkr spool for my dk100 when I found out the spools were compatible and it works great in the reel. I have only been able to test cast so far but hopefully soon I can get it out fishing. Oh I did buy the engraved version off Ali and it's worth the little extra money, it looks great!

@THEREELTEST Kudos man! You have the best BFS review channel I have seen thus far. I picked up a DK100 due to your videos - I paired it with a Cedan 6'10" but looking for something longer and a bit more backbone to take on upper slot/overslot reds.
Would really like a CDM rod over 7’ up to 7’6” that’s EXTRA Crispy. Minimum Alconite guides, I’m thinking at least 40T carbon and Under $110 shipped.

any ideas?

Just got my right hand model, I think it's got the upgraded level wind shimming thing worked out very smooth one of the only reels I don't disassemble to rework even drag fills greased ahh just kidding it's coming apart the spool thing is a bonus.

I have both and because the DK 100 really impressed me (which means it stays in my arsenal), I changed the spool and side plate bearing (hybrid ceramic bearings) and gave it some classic wooden round knobs. The difference caused by the bearing change was quite noticeable. Maybe I will change the spool in the future…

DK100 cheaper but I still had to go with the Shimano Calcutta. Reel of a lifetime! Why go cheap! Let’s go!

Biggest difference for me was the star drag. The dk100 has an oversized star drag thats amazing for one handed reeling but its a bit wobbly. I'm wondering if there is some kind of washer or shim to tighten it up a bit. Either way, amazing reel for $133.

When you get around to it, it would be interesting to know if the gears are swappable between the reel. If Shimano Gears in the DK100 make it glassy smooth like the Conquest, that might be a worthwhile upgrade. I really wish the makers of the DK100 figured out a way to remove about 1oz of weight from the reel. If it was super light like the Loongze that would be amazing, especially since it is a BFS reel.

Hi, I got the gold DK100. You mentioned the handle can be changed. What handle would work? It's not the same as the Calcutta Conquest BFS. I want to change out the handle on my DK100. Any suggestions and link for a different handle?

[DrFelonious]

Is there a deep spool available for it? I fish some remote places where I’d rather carry a second spool than a second reel

[FrankiePo]

Did you tried to swap the side plates of these two reels? It's a right vs a lefty, shouldn't be able to.
Spool wise, there's no direction thus the swap ability.
