The Shimano Calcutta Conquest DC represents the pinnacle of circular baitcasting reel design, delivering unmatched smoothness, power, and refined casting performance.
Renowned for its silky reeling feel and dependable casting control, the Calcutta Conquest DC has evolved even further in its latest generation. At its core are micro-modulated gears, featuring ultra-precise, finely cut gear teeth housed within an elaborately engineered body. This design produces an exceptionally smooth, connected feel under load.
The latest model is enhanced with INFINITYDRIVE and SILENTDRIVE technologies, delivering noticeably lighter rotation, increased winding power, and the elimination of internal noise or vibration. Whether fighting fish or working lures all day, the reel remains smooth, quiet, and powerful.
Casting performance is elevated by the MAGNUMLITE SPOOL IV, which improves spool start-up and rotational efficiency, paired with the NEW I-DC5 Digital Control braking system. This advanced DC system precisely manages braking force across a wide range of lure weights and conditions, delivering longer casts with exceptional control and minimal backlash.
Comfortable to cast, effortless to retrieve, and engineered with Shimano’s most advanced technologies, the Calcutta Conquest DC stands as the flagship model of Shimano’s round baitcasting reel range, built for anglers who demand absolute performance and refinement.
