Availability: In stock
SPECIFICATIONS
The Shimano Calcutta Conquest (2021/2022) represents the pinnacle of round-profile baitcasting reels, combining classic design with cutting-edge Shimano engineering. Built for anglers who demand ultimate smoothness, cranking power, and durability, this reel is a true flagship model designed to handle everything from freshwater predators to light saltwater applications.
Crafted with a precision-machined aluminum HAGANE body, the Calcutta Conquest delivers exceptional rigidity and eliminates flex under heavy loads, translating every turn of the handle into efficient cranking power. This results in a reel that feels incredibly solid in hand while maintaining a surprisingly compact and lightweight profile.
At the heart of its performance is Shimano’s advanced Infinity Drive system, significantly reducing rotational resistance to provide effortless winding power under load. Whether retrieving large crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or battling aggressive fish, the Conquest maintains smooth, controlled performance with minimal fatigue.
Equipped with a 13+1 bearing system, including corrosion-resistant bearings, this reel delivers ultra-smooth operation and long-lasting reliability in demanding environments. The inclusion of MicroModule gearing enhances gear engagement for a refined, almost “silky” retrieve, while reducing vibration for maximum precision.
The MGL Spool III and SVS Infinity braking system work together to provide exceptional casting distance and accuracy, allowing anglers to fish a wide range of lure weights with confidence. These technologies reduce spool inertia and offer fine-tuned braking control, resulting in longer, smoother casts with less effort.
Designed to handle powerful fish, the Cross Carbon Drag system delivers up to 6kg of smooth, consistent drag pressure, ensuring reliable performance during intense fights. The addition of Shimano’s signature Exciting Drag Sound gives audible feedback when line is being pulled, adding both function and excitement to every battle.
