Been looking at buying a couple of the new Penn Conflicts to replace my older Penn Battle reels. Would you recommend the Conflict over the new improved Battle II reels that are coming out, the buzz seems to be that the Conflicts are the better of the two and are priced higher. Also what size Conflict reel would be better for inshore, the 2500 or 3000, the 3000 having slightly higher line capacity and 15 versus 12lb of drag.
Ive got 3 Conflicts 2000,2500,3000. They’re great reels, you will not be disappointed. As for the new battle 2 not sure. The conflicts are far better than the battle ones for sure.
ETA: Got mine at Haddrells too!
Been fishing a Conflict 3000 for about 6 months and have had nothing but great performance out of it

Have the Conflict 3000, think the 2500 or 3000 is perfect for inshore but I like the better drag on the 3000. Dont know much about the new Battle’s but the Conflict seems better.
